Explaining the Shooting of Governor John Connally

[Mr. Brightside]

Seinfeld: That's one magic loogey.

[Vaquero]

That was one magic loogie!!!

[shield]

Right...you think the guards would allow that?

[BILL_C]

None of your invented statistical baloney will ever refute that.

I didn't invent anything. All I am bringing out is that several witnesses said that the last two shots were bang-bang, almost on top of each other.

Roy Kellerman in his Warren Commission testimony argued with Arlen Specter for what is page, after page, after page of page of saying the same thing: There were multiple shooters.

No statistics, just facts. Lee Harvey Oswald, if he even fired a shot, didn't do it alone.

[Al Gator]

My biggest problem with the whole thing, and I watched it at great length when it happened, is with that rifle.

I've had many Carcano rifles. None of them, not one, could be made to perform the way Oswald's did.

IT JUST AIN'T HAPPENING!

Pristine bullet my arse.

Go after dark. No one will notice you that way.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

If they were REALLY on top of this they would know that back in the late 1960's ENQUIRER magazine "proved" that Kennedy was not really killed but only wounded so bad he was mentally unfit to serve out his term.
Long distance photos showed a man looking like JFK in a wheelchair and his head bandaged on the Onassis Islands.

But then there are those peskey morgue photos...

[linda_22003]

Now let's hear your 9/11 theories. :)

[Al Gator]

I watched them arrest Oswald. He may have been involved, but he wasn't capable enough.

That's why Ruby got to him first.

Now, Ruby knew he was terminal when he did the contract on Oswald. Go figure.

[Al Gator]

Kennedy is deader than a doornail. Morgue photo's don't lie. There was no such thing as Photoshop in '63.

[The KG9 Kid]

Oswald was the lone shooter. He was a competent marksman, owned a perfectly capable surplus rifle, and the shot was relatively simple for his skill. There is only evidence of three shots, all of them fired by Oswald.

That's all there is to it, really. Forty five more years of conspiracy theories and misinterpreted dissected data will never prove otherwise.

[BILL_C]

Sorry. Don't care. For all of the data, this scenario doesn't draw any conclusions regarding a 40+ year old event. It basically just presents yet another theory.

When someone comes out and says they have proof that the (Mafia, Soviets, Cubans, etc) killed JFK, I'll take notice.

REPLY:

Well, when it's OBVIOUS there were multiple shooters, and it is, then that implicates a goverment who has led a coverup for years.

There's only one reason for this elaborate lie to exist and that's to protect the Guilty Men.

IF it's true that there were multiple shooters and we have an elaborate lie in place to protect those who organized the killing, don't you think we need to know the details?

[reagan_fanatic]

Lee Harvey Oswald was a radical left wing nutcase who thought up the whole assassination alone and unaided and murdered President Kennedy at a moment of opportunity.

Thank You. Unfortunately, there's no mystery and intrigue in that position, and you won't sell very many books with it.

[Al Gator]

"perfectly capable surplus rifle"

Do you know what you are talking about? I think not.

6.5 Carcano was junk. Sold surplus from Sears at $15. The bullet itself was weak and inaccurate.

No Way It Happened With Rifle.

[AppyPappy]

Unless you plan to name the players, it's all just a fun exercise.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***Oswald was the lone shooter.***

Many years ago I read an article, I think it was in Popular Mechanics (or another such magazine) in which it was shown that a piece of thread was found caught on the butt plate of the Carcano rifle that matched Oswald's shirt.

I know you didn't read this but you could at least look at the pictures :-)

BUT seriously, this scenario has never seriously been considered before.

When I showed Dr. Wecht the Connally head snap downward, he asked his son Ben if he knew about a shot fired after the fatal head shot to JFK.

I know they had been exposed to the Dallas Police recording paper "Echo Correlation" by Dr. D. B. Thomas as he spoke at Dr. Wecht's symposium in 2003.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

There was a second spitter.

KEITH: YOU said, "Nice game, pretty boy."
KRAMER: Ah, you remember.
NEWMAN: And then you spit on us.
KEITH: Hey, I didn't spit at you.
NEWMAN: Oh, yeah, right.
KRAMER: No no no, well, then who was it?
KEITH: Well lookit, the way I remember it [back to the grainy 8mm film parody] I was walking up the ramp. I was upset about the game. That's when you called me prettyboy. It ticked me off. I started to turn around to say something and as I turned around I saw Roger McDowell behind the bushes over by that gravely road. …Anyway he was talking to someone and they were talking to you. I tried to scream out but it was too late. It was already on its way.

So do they mention Castro in these shows?

"... I've had many Carcano rifles. None of them, not one, could be made to perform the way Oswald's did."

Untrue. All models of the Mannlicher-Carcano are fine rifles. They have superior triggers. The 6.5mm Carcano cartridge is a modern, accurate round thoroughly capable of hunting African big game including elephants.

These rifles were popular African safari rifles amongst Italian big game hunters in the first half of the last century. Military models of the Mannlicher-Carcano slaughtered tens of thousands of Ethiopians in the years before WWII.
