The secret service agent who threw himself into President Kennedy's car at the moment of his assassination, Clint Hill, has published a book about the events.

Do you know what "linked references" mean? Apparently not. The Wiki article links to loads of published articles.
They are lawyers, politicians and actors. The one thing they have in common is that they pretend to be who they are not.
Oswald was neither and like I said the Marines tend to have the most loyal patriot Americans compared to the other services. IMHO
Then source the links and not Wikipedia. This is form Wikipedia’s web site about the site.
“The reliability of Wikipedia articles is limited by the external sources on which they are supposed to rely, as well as by the ability of Wikipedia’s editors to understand those sources correctly and their willingness to use them properly. Therefore, articles may or may not be reliable, and readers should always use their own judgment. Students should never use information in Wikipedia (or any other online encyclopedia) for formal purposes (such as school essays) until they have verified and evaluated the information based on external sources. For this reason, Wikipedia, like any encyclopedia, is a great starting place for research but not always a great ending place.”

You left out information about tests done with Oswald's Carcano and by CBS with the same model Carcano and scope, fired by sporting goods dealers, hunters, ballistic laboratory workers, former military men, and law enforcement personnel, which showed that the Carcano could be fired three times in a much shorter period that shown in the Zapruder film, and that shooters WHO HAD NEVER FIRED A CARCANO BEFORE were able to hit two OR THREE of the small targets from a tower in such a short period.
You left out that tests on Oswald's Carcano showed that it routinely placed three shots in a 5' circle at the distance of the furthest shot on Kennedy from the Book Depository.
You left out that, contrary to what the news media says, gun experts consider the Carcano (but not the Mannlicher-Carcano) to be an accurate rifle.
You've obviously missed all of the reconstructions that indicate the jump-back effect, even on melons shot with similar ammunition.
If you want to claim there were other shooters, fine.
But to claim Oswald's rifle wasn't accurate? Nonsense.
To claim that Carcano's weren't accurate in general? Nonsense.
To claim that three shots couldn't be fired in the time indicated by the Zapruder film? Nonsense. In fact, based on the current analysis of the Zapruder film, some of the FIRST-TIME shooters, with no experience with the Carcano, hit two or three targets from a tower in up to three seconds fewer than Oswald fired his shots. And Oswald knew his rifle.
We're going to have to disagree on this.
Read something outside of selected parts of the Warren Report and outside of conspiracy theory books.
That would be plain dumb. The Wiki piece includes all the links. Why in hell should I have to post 20 or 30 separate links when they are already there?
Yep, I’m with you guys.
The facts tell the real story for anyone who wants to listen. Hard to believe Oswald could pull it off, but he did.
LOL! Okay whatever....
Wiki sources on the Oswald piece:

I have watched the Zapruder film many, many times. What I don’t understand is why all the blood splatter seems to be in front of him, and why does the facial flesh go forward?
Here are their references:

Ventura was never a SEAL he was UDT and if you respect that flake you're nuttier than he is.
I can’t listen right now. Does he say that it was the Soviets? Doesn’t surprise me at all.
Excellent litmus test. lol
Murtha was a Marine

Probably a commie too
We used to shoot plastic one-gallon jugs of water, set on a low rail in front of a back stop. When shot near the center with a rifle, the jugs would jump back toward the shooters as the water sprayed out the opposite side. Each plastic jug would typically have a small, round entry hole, and a jagged tear on the exit side where the pressure burst the jug before the bullet exited.
If a human head reacts in a similar manner when struck near the center with a high-speed bullet, that could explain the movement seen in the Zapruder film, and the descriptions of Kennedy’s head wound.

Piece of cake, really. I looked out the window of the book depository and could have hit the limo with a rock it was so close. A guy with a handgun could have made that shot.
