To have to pass through the windshield would mean the gunman was at ground level. Kennedy is pushed leftward toward his wife after the hit, so it would be coming from an elevated right angle. That's the way it looks to me, I don't know how a hit from the back would do that.
The day it happened I had taken my husband to the base,he was on a cross country,got home and was watching "As The World Turns"when it was announced the President's motorcade had been fired on. There were intermittant announcements that they were taking him to Parkland,that he had been hit and that there were three men running from the grassy knoll.Lots of confusion but the three men seen running away from the grassy knoll was repeated pretty often.
I heard it so often that I was tottally shocked when I learned the next day that the shots had been fired from the Book Repository.Do you know whether the grassy knoll was on the left or right of the motorcade,your comment rings true but I never thought about the where the grassy knoll was relative to the motorcade.
The Warren Report seemed such a fabrication and I have never had much trust in government since then.
I also heard way back then that Kennedy had ordered the government to print greenbacks and that there were many money men who were dead set against that. Johnson cancelled that almost immediately. Many years later I read that Lincoln had also asked the government to print and issue greenbacks and was assassinated shortly thereafter.
Well,I do get carried away but would appreciate you or anyone who might read this telling me WHERE WAS THE GRASSY KNOLL RELATIVE TO THE MOTORCADE?
