Dad Knew Who Killed JFK

On April 7, 1964, a 26-year-old detective in the New Orleans Police Department skipped up the steps into the Old Civil Courts building in New Orleans and presented himself to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy.

I’d always known my father had been acquainted with Oswald. They had not only grown up half a block away from each other, but had shared homerooms at school. Sitting alphabetically, my old man Fred sat in front of Oswald for years. O’Sullivan next to Oswald.

Sifting through my Dad’s papers I came upon a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy thanking my father for appearing before the commission. It wasn’t something he spoke of often — just a tidbit of information in a life that went on to greater adventures. ...

Bugliosi is a strange individual too. He concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory about Charles Manson and the Beatles to pin a “murder” charge on Charlie who did not commit the murders himself.

Bugliosi has also concocted a new conspiracy theory to charge President Bush with murder.

Bugliosi is a strange individual.

There was a book written a ways back.. a least 10-15 yrs that had a a very interesting curve to the story. The guy that wrote the book was either the doctor that was the attending physician at Parkland Hosp or was assisting. He put forth the theory that Oswald indeed took the first shot and missed (the bullet hit the windshield support ), the Secret Service agent in the car behind reached down to get his M-16, as he was rising back up the car lurched forward causing him to fall backwards and accidentally fire his weapon.. hitting JFK in the back top of his head. Oswald fire again hitting JFK in the neck.
He supported this all with photos, including one that shows the SS agent with the rife in is hand and falling backwards.... It was the only theory that made sense to cover up the shooting...the agent was flown out of Dallas before LBJ was sworn in BTW

Gary Oldman in the Professional (aka Leon) or Romeo is Bleeding. so many good ones with Oldman.

I was suprised how restrained Tommy Lee Jones was because he usually is yelling. I do not like Oliver Stone but the cast saved him on JFK. Vincent D’fornio from the TV cop show early on as a witness in Dallas. Saw that the other night.

Stone is a jerk but he also wrote the screenplay for Scarface another great over the top black comedy/cartoon.

Joe Pesci plays great psychopaths. Saw him on the Golf Channel. He is a nice old guy now and golf nut.

The one thing (of many) that sticks in my craw was how did Oswald get off three shots in the alloted time - at a moving target - with THAT rifle. The Carcano, as I recall, was notorious for jamming/not locking.

Why would Oswald put his faith in the Carcano, when he was trained on the infinitely better M-1 Garand? Even FBI agents could not make that shot on the first try with the Carcano! And they were much better shots than Oswald.

Maybe Oswald shot Kennedy by himself but how did he know the route of the president’s motorcade the day before?

I'm pretty certain the motorcade route was published in the paper the day before.

Did you ever think to yourself how the thousands of other witnesses to JFK’s murder in Dealey Plaza knew the route of the motorcade before you hit the ‘post’ button?

[The KG9 Kid]

Mannlicher-Carcanos are very capable and smooth military rifles. The notion that they weren't comes from Oliver Stone's movie JFK and several conspiracist books.

[ConservativeDude]

causing him to fall backwards and accidentally fire his weapon”

Wow.

That’d be a pretty big $%*$& up.

[AFreeBird]

Back then they published that sort of info so all the adoring fans could line up to see their hero and cheer him on.

They might on occasion still do that today, but you'll notice the pres is behind several inches of ballistic glass and armor, and the limo drivers don't dally, and SS snipers will be lining the route scanning windows and other places.

Lessons learned.

[mockingbyrd]

JFK is a good movie. Not historically accurate, but is gripping and has a great cast.

[The KG9 Kid]

"... how is it Jackie Kennedy crawls over the back seat to the rear of the trunk to retrieve Kennedy’s brains which had fallen to the rear of the limo?"

How is it that you come to believe the old canard that Jackie crawled over the trunk in order to retrieve Jack's brain matter?

It's not the case.

Not learned by Benazir Bhutto.

[Pistolshot]

Didn’t the final shot that killed Kennedy enter from the front?

Nope. From the rear. Just like this. The hydrostatic effect caused the explosion of the head. Bullet exiting left in the picture.

[TheThinker]

Did you ever think to yourself how the thousands of other witnesses to JFK’s murder in Dealey Plaza knew the route of the motorcade before you hit the ‘post’ button?

You got me. But like with radio, if you don't like what you hear, you can change the station (just jump to the next post).

[ghostrider]

Wait...a third possibility! George W. Bush! That’s it, Bush is to blame! Where was he in November 1963?

Seaking across the border with illegal immigrants?

[word_warrior_bob]

And why does JFK’s head violently lurch to the rear if he was shot from behind? The documentary “experts” say this is possible but I’ve never been able to understand why.

_______________

Experts and physics says just the opposite, as has been ignored repeatedly, here’s a simple experiment which shows that a shot from BEHIND has a small entry and large exit and the head recoils backwards, just like what happened to JFK. Anyone saying that his head lurches backwards means he was shot from the front has no idea what they’re talking about or is just a conspiracy theorist.

Watch the video.

“If I remember correctly the route was previously posted in the local newspaper”

BINGO!

In fact, three days prior to the arrival.

I’m going to try to find the name of that book.. I lent it to someone and never got it back....
