You mean there was a SECOND film? You mean that Zapruder wasn't the only one with a movie camera that day?
Maybe. Of corset it could have been someone else.
Arafat is dead
Maybe. Maybe not.
And with that uncertainty, I don't think it merits its own article, book or subject.
The ammunition that LHO used was full metal jacketed. No mushrooming, hence the small exit wound.
Well this is totally inane...if Kennedy wasn't wearing the corset in the first place, his body wouldn't have been in the same position when he took the first shot. It would have hit him somewhere else. This invalidates the entire discussion.
This is all just, "swatting at the flies." It's what LBJ wanted everyone to do. During 64, LBJ got busy pushing Civil Rights legislation (which he really didn't believe in), micro-managing the WC Report through J. Edgar, and pumping troops into Nam to further obfuscate. We'll never know how LBJ had the hit pulled off.
I don't know the name but yes indeed there is a second film of the shooting. It is from the other side of the street and a little farther away. It is also color.
let's be honest. That guy would've died in office no matter what. He was ill to the bone. The corset he was wearing was to keep his bones, spine, ribs in place. A lot of his bone tissue had withered away. He should never have been president with his ill health and drug/medicine use. The reason he was still alive was sheer will and drugs, not a good constitution.
Paging Arlen Specter!
But, when corsets are outlawed, only outlaws will wear corsets.
It's just not the way we change Presidents.
Too bad someone couldn't have video taped me because I'd really like to know just how fast I was working the bolt, reaquiring the target and firing.
With that personal experience in mind, I have no doubt Oswald could have done what he was accused of doing.
of course.
A few years back, when John Connally passed away, there was a proposal to perform an autopsy for the purpose of recovering the bullet fragments that remained in his body as a result of the shooting. The intent was to determine if the fragments came from a single bullet, and a single gun, or if there could have been a second shooter. Connally's widow refused to allow the autopsy.
There is no predicting which way a body will move, or even if it will move when hit by a relitively small calaber round like a .30 cal. Especially in the head where nerve tissues are damaged. It's not like the movies where people fly off the ground.
The "Jet of blood" that came out the back of his head is also normal. You can do it by shooting a ripe watermellon and watch as a spray of juice exits the entry point. It's hydraulics in action.
The final head shot by Oswald was from a distance of only 88 yards. I have stood on the 6th floor of that building and looked out. It would have been an easy shot, even for someone who wasn't a Marine Corps marksman.
That's the reason for Kennedy's oblong exit wound in the throat, and TX Governor John Connally's oblong entry wound.
Oswald didn't have any choice of ammunition for his mail-order rifle.
Who really cares about talking about this man? He was flawed and certainly not the King most Democrat Liberals make him out to be. He abused drugs for pain, cavorted on his wife with women, and generally was an unspectacular person. He only seems as such now because the MSM and Democrats claim he's the next best thing to Jesus. I think not. He's better left to whatever history will make of him and not worthy of distracting us from what has to be done to right the course of this country.
