Kennedy was shot in the back at 5 1/2 inches from his Mastoid Process and an inch to the right of his spine with a 161 grain bullet going 2000 Feet a Second. The bullet exited on the left side of his necktie.
Figure out the angle for yourself.

That's why Oswald was identified by the people on the ground as he was shooting.

It's not just how it looks, but the amount of weight it still had, after leaving metal fragments in Connelly's wrist. Too much metal. There was more metal in his wrist than you would get by subtracting the magic bullet plus his wrist fragments from a standard bullet.

Jackie almost got HER head shot off instead of JFK's it seems by the film.

REally? I just don't think anyone could hold steady while haging half out the window. That being said I never saw any evidence of people IDing Oswald from hanging half out the window with a gun. I thought there was speculation about the sound of a shot from the window. Do I misunderstand that?

They had to weigh the rest of the bullets in the lot number to get the exact measured weight. They don't weigh what the box says. That's another tin hat misconception.

The guy who took the picture of the killing of Oswald tried to take a picture of Oswald shooting. He was out of film.
I guess he was the Forrest Gump of photography.

I have never heard that before. I have shot a gun one time in my life, so Iam not an expert, I didn't think someone could hole a gun steady with nothing torest their weight on while hanging out of a window. I mean he would have to have been almost ahlf way out. You know more about that than I do.
Okay, but I still think there was someone on the ground for the first shot. Walking around that grassy knoll area was so eerie to me. I am obviously not an expert on the case.. but there was something strange about that place. Have you been there before?

He didn't have to hang out the window. The street points toward the building. Find the overhead view on the internet.
He arranged boxes to use as a steady rest. He literally benchrested the rifle.

No I was there in person. The boxes do not make sense and we would have to hang out the window and turn himself to the left. Both my hubby, Cornell engineer very level headed, and I had the same reaction about this window and the angle of the building to the street. As well as where Kennedy would have been shot even with the aid of the boxes which they have set up there. It really stood out as strange for both of us.

and turn himself to the left. Would you mind trying to explain yourself a little clearer? You're either on the wrong street, mistaken memory or you typed left instead of right.

No I mean left. I was in the book depository museum and they have a very large display of memoribaila and document and props on the fifth floor, you can look right out the window. It is open. They even have boxes under the window set upo you get the real deal. You can walk right up to the window and look out. There is a diagram on the wall of where JFK was shot right near the window. The road in front of the Book depository is not that long, and looking quickly to the right you see the highway over pass. So you can look at the diagram and use prior knowlegde ,and all of the info they have at the museum on display to figure out the spot where he was shot. He would ahve had to be to the left, other wise we sould see the highway over pass in any photos or footage. Plus the witness palce the car to the the area that would have been a left angle to the building facing out the window.
In order for someone to have shot the President from the 5th floor open window of the depository, one would have to be standing up and hanging almost half way out the window. The buidling and street are at an odd angle that is not represented in photos and in videos.
Again I am no expert on guns, but my husband is a very good engineer, and has some military backgorund. He even thought after actually looking out the window, that something was amiss with the "lone gunman from the fifth floor story". We could be wrong, but having been there, we both remember it as being a really odd story.

http://www.earthcam.com/jfk/ Oswald had to shoot to the right on the SIXTH floor. There is no way anyone can look out to the shooting area from the window at the Sixth Floor Museum. It's glassed in so no one can approach it.

That was not my experience. We could look right out the window when I was there. I am not an expert on this issue, but I can tell you what I saw ,and what my husband saw. The photos do not show what we experienced. It could have been the 6th floor, I thought it was the fifth. We walked right up and looked out the window, the boxes were set up as a prop underneath.

oooops I have been corrected, it was to the right not the left. The opened window on the sixth floor, hanging out the window bit was as I remembered though.. that ws the part that was really strange.
I will be busy eating crow for awhile......sorry.
