ReelzChannel is getting back into the Kennedy family business, and once again likely to make some waves. In November, the network that aired the Emmy-winning 2011 miniseries "The Kennedys" will debut "JFK: The Smoking Gun," a new documentary offering the theory that John F. Kennedy was killed, not by Lee Harvey Oswalds rifle, but by the friendly-fire bullet of an inexperienced Secret Service agent.
"The only possible gun that could have been in that area is that Secret Service gun. So the finding is that it was an accidental discharge. Nobody's claiming anybody did anything wrong. But at the time, in the middle of the Cold War ... remember, it wasn't a time that the U.S. government would have liked to admit a botched security detail in the most important mission they had."
According to Hubbard's explanation of the docudrama, the timeline of the events of Nov. 22, 1963, will go something like this:
After Lee Harvey Oswald fired an initial shot at the Kennedy motorcade in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, a Secret Service agent named George Hickey responded. Hickey, an inexperienced agent who had never been on follow-up car duty, grabbed his AR-15 Secret Service rifle and, while standing in the back of the car that was behind the Kennedy vehicle in the motorcade, fired a shot, he hoped, towards the enemy fire. But the car he was riding in suddenly lurched forward, and, the theory suggests, Hickey's hand faltered, sending his bullet towards the presidents head. Oswald had fired a second shot that also hit Kennedy, but it was not necessarily the shot that fatally wounded JFK, according to the theory.

You are assuming that the first shot was fired as the limo was rounding the street onto Elm? That is pretty early, no?
Another Lefty and Liberal moron is Mark Layne. You have to give Lane credit though, he was a pioneer and in my view, has the most serious analysis as to why the “Lone gunman (nut) theory is rubbish.
Former Jarhead here- so same training and a lifelong shooter. I went there in 2003 and did the same thing, after years of reading about what an impossibly technical shot it was that trained marksmen couldn't replicate, etc etc.
I was surprised that, once standing in the window (next to it, actually) it was a lot easier a shot that I'd been led to believe.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a lot of funny business surrounding the events of that day, which I won't render an opinion on, but the shot wasn't as tough as it seems often made out to be, IMO.
John F. Kennedy?
Is he still dead?
That’s not what the authors say happened-—they say Hickey was standing up on the rear seat flipping his safety off and getting ready to turn and shoot toward TBD but a he did so his foot slipped off the seat. It didn’t just “go off.”
I know! - Maybe Kennedy accidentally shot himself!
I bet he was cleaning his own gun in the car during the motorcade and it went off - twice!
"Enjoying the ride so far, Mr. President?"
Just goes to show how bizarre the MSM has become...
...they will go to extreme lengths to avoid reporting the obvious.
The theory from the Onion that Kennedy was shot 129 times from 43 locations makes more sense.
that was one magic loogie.
Wow, it must really bother you that even after all these years people still don’t buy the crap the gubmint has been trying to sell us on all that happened, in Dallas, that day.
For the past 50 years the left wing press has been trying to absolve Oswald and cover up or deflect people from examining his political views. This is just the latest attempt at deflection.
AMEN, AMEN, I say AMEN, brother!
“The Sea Will Tell
Great lawyer...got his murdering client off, then wrote a book about it. Yea, I believe every word he said.
Would I hire him to defend me. Certainly! Especially if I was guilty.
The theory you espouse is what my Pop told me about JFK. Keep in mind, my Pop died in 1973. I distinctly recall him telling me that JFK had survived and was kept on the sixth floor (ironically) of Parkland Hospital. I was a kid then, so I just figured he knew what he was talking about.
Red Dwarf fans know for certain who really killed Kennedy
Yes, I agree, and that’s why I think it’s obvious he is grasping his throat because he probably had difficulty breathing with a wound in his trachea.
All these JFK theories are most entertaining and they seem to get more entertaining as time goes by.
Like most things, I contend the simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation. Who stood the most to gain? Regardless of who and how many shooters, it was at the direction of LBJ and that’s all that really matters.
That was sch an obvious clear case of multiple shooters! Forensic expert..please, give me a break. That’s bs.
I am not going to try and get through your brainwashing. Anyone who cannot see that he was obviously hit from the rear and then the front is blind as a bat. Sorry....just is a fact.
