For his part, Connally said to his grave that the first bullet did not strike him. Another bullet penetrated his back as he was spun around to look for JFK after the initial shot.

I believe the official conclusion of the Warren Commission was that Connally was hit but didn't know it. It shows how committed they were to making the facts fit the story of the lone gunman firing from the TBD.

There were many people near the grassy knoll who heard shots coming from behind.

I am sure they did. The sound of gunfire echoes off of hard, flat surfaces, which is what urban areas are made of.

Oswald was clearly a lefty who would fit in nicely with today’s democratic party-yes CIA routinely used opponents to get info-this is nothing burer report- andas somone who once thought there was something else going, my visit to to the Texas Book Depository sowed me it was an easy shot, I’m a marksman but anyone with a scope could have made that shot and yes Oswalds’s own brother in a test made the three shots quicker than Lee Harvey did. After reading dozens of books Case Closed by Posner is the definitive book

Especially since JFK’s brain mysteriously went missing post mortem and since Jack Ruby was ordered to kill Oswald before he could talk.

An early gift to America from Snarlin' Arlen Spector, future senator from Pennsylvania. Compared to the nutbags PA has been electing lately, Spector was a champion of reason.

Oswald was exactly what he said he was, The Patsy.

When he was asked by a reporter on Friday night in the crowded hallway of the Dallas Police Department if he shot the president, Oswald looked startled and said he had not been charged with that. He thought he was being charged with the murder of Officer Tippit. If you watch the video, he looks stunned and his voice confirms it.

Completely bogus nonsense manufactured to deceive the gullible.

Sure, using ballistic gelatin, the same model of rifle, and type of ammunition is not as rigorous as something you heard on the internet. I wonder what your opinion would be if tests disproved the possibility of the shot?

Sure, he didn't think they'd connect him with killing Kennedy. In any case, even if he wasn't stunned, it made sense for him to act that way.

All lead particles found inside the JFK Limo matched the box of bullets left by Oswald at the Sniper’s Perch. And the sound of the shot as you describe would have probably left the two SS agents in the front seats deaf.

Not sure what your point is, but whether tests proved or disproved the “possibility” of the shot would not convince me one way or the other because I have no assurance that those who conduct the tests are credible or honest.

I watched the magic bullet video. They never showed the recreation of the magic bullet.

It’s a two part video. I figured you’d watch part two.

You can search for it under the same title, except Part 1 is now Part 2. The rifle shot is at minute 1:42.

You seem pretty hard to convince, except that it's:

That’s an easy shot for anyone familiar with shooting a rifle with a scope.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Target was in motion, there’s no evidence the scope was zeroed in at the time of the assassination, easy shots can still be missed, and no one has ever claimed to have actually SEEN Oswald with a rifle on the floor from which the shots were allegedly fired.

Did you even read the thread? No wonder you're clueless. One poster thought the shot was hundreds of yards long. Another thought it was a difficult task given the short time frame the three shots were fired. Etc.

All above assumptions were false. But you post an idiotic post that a Marine Corp rifleman's going to go with an unzeroed scope,etc.

Grow the heck up. And don't respond to me. I'm not wasting time on stupid, ignorant posts.
