early 1989, I was working as a business reporter in Washington, D.C., and interviewing a private investigator for a story about his company. At the end of our conversation, he casually mentioned he’d done some research into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
“Oh yeah?” I said, in an ironic, indifferent way. “So who killed him?” He said: “Well, I think this gunsmith in Baltimore, a guy named Howard Donahue, figured it out.” The private eye showed me a magazine article from 1977 and as I read it, my skepticism began to fade. Within a week, I was heading to nearby Towson, Maryland, to meet Donahue in person.
Donahue’s Dealey Plaza odyssey began 21 years earlier. The World War II veteran was a firearms specialist who’d testified as an expert witness in multiple shooting cases. He was also a well-known marksman. That’s why he’d been recruited to take part in a CBS News reenactment of the shooting in the spring of 1967.
The network wanted to know if Lee Harvey Oswald’s Italian military-surplus, bolt-action rifle really could have been fired three times with two hits on a moving target in less than six seconds. Donahue proved that it could. Of the 11 shooters participating in the experiment, only Donahue exceeded Oswald’s performance by scoring three hits in 4.8 seconds, well under the 5.6-second maximum....

It was Epstein on the Grassy Knoll and he did it with a candlestick. Case solved.
Though I still like Hugh McDonald's story, which Bugliosi did not delve into in any detail.
I’ve watched the JFK coverage a lot over the years. They repeatedly reported that a Secret Service agent was killed, but that was later found out to not be true.
I'm not telling you, read it for yourself........
Well after all, it was you and me.
The CIA took out JFK. He was going after the Federal Reserve. The Rothschild,Rockefellers,Goldman Sachs et al could not allow that to happen.
I read on the internet that it was the same Secret Service agent...
It was all just a fluke. A quirky happenstance.
Has anyone seen “The Men Who Killed JFK” on Bewsmax?
I will believe that before believing Oswald killed him!
No, I'm sorry, you are wrong. Back then climate change was the silent killer we didn't yet know about.
Climate change killed JFK I tell ya!
JFK didn’t kill himself.
What’s so important for you that you want me to click through?
Showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do.
As a high school student I traveled to Dallas in '64. I went to the location. The thing that struck me the most was how any average shot could have hit JFK from the other window with a pistol as the limo virtually stopped to make the turn.
The only reason to wait is that Oswald was not expected to make the kill shot. I believe the shot was made by a marksman in the building beside the book depository in the corner of the turn. It is all so closed in.
What a coincidence! The author of the article just happens to be the same author of the book you mentioned.........
This article is a great read and explains how and why he decided to contact Donahue and ultimately write the book .
Where was Hillary in 1963?
Speaking of Epstein, my thought is that’s exactly what happened to the assassin when he himself was assassinated.
You are right, see multiple shooters have met the criterion of making the 3 shots. I went to the Texas book depository building window after the shootings and what was stunning to me was how close and easy a shot it would have been. The building is maybe 10 feet from the street, the reason it doesn’t look that way is the photographs of the plaza are taken way back to get everything in.
Read a logically and unbiased book: Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy bu Bugliosi
I just re-watched the Zapruder film. It’s possible.
