People react in strange ways when they are shot. Some never even know they are shot until much, much later. Connally`s reaction is not unordinary. Sometimes it takes a few seconds before your body will react to the trama cause by a gunshot, sometimes you react immediately. You cannot look at the film and tell exactly when Connally was shot. That is a fact some will never accept.

The ont thing all the SBT apologists continue to gloss over is that Connally continues to hold his Stetson in his right hand long after he is supposedly hit by the same shot that causes Kennedy to reach for his neck. ABC's computer illustration and most other computer recreations conveniently leave the Stetson out of the simulation.

If his right wrist has been shattered by the gunshot, why is he still holding his hat? That's the one thing that still makes me doubt the whole SBT scenario.

I also noticed ABC simulation seems to move Connally well over into Nellie's side of the limo in time for the head shot. That, too, doesn't seem plausible to me although it's pointless except to say computer animation is not pure science.

Why do people with a shattered leg or vertebra walk for miles or days before collapsing ? Why do you see dead people still clutching onto all kinds of objects ? How do you explain a woman lifting a car off her pinned husband ? There are just some things that are very difficult to explain. It doesn`t mean that they can`t happen though. We read about these most amazing things happening all the time. Most will say that it was impossible, it couldn`t have happened, yet it does and did. Like I said earlier, people react differently to trama. There is nobody out there that can definitively say when Connally was shot by watching that film. You cannot say just because Connally was still holding his hat that he had not yet been shot. Or that just because he doesn`t look like he had been shot that he wasn`t. If you want to really get down to the brass tacks on this issue, stop looking at that film, you can read into it just about anything you want. For me , there are only two things the film shows. That Kennedy was shot twice, and one of those shots blew his brains out. The conspiracy theorist/investigators etc.. love that film, because they can twist and manipulate any senario to fit what is shown in that film. Stick to the physical evidence. It makes things a bit easier.

Governor Connally held his hat all the way to Parkland Hospital. Are you saying he couldn't have been hit in the wrist until after the motorcade reached the hospital?
