JFK had no earlobes (right half of picture, obviously):
And a total of at least 5: The first one that missed. This one to his back that didn't penetrate. One to his throat that had to come at him from the front, since it didn't come through from the back. One to his head, whether from front or back.
Not to mention the one (minimum) that hit Connelly.
Arlen Specter--who saw no X-rays, had no ballistic expertise--attempted to account for seven wounds with a single bullet.
The back wound did not penetrate. One shot.
The throat wound--per Crenshaw, Perry, Baxter, Peters, Carrico, Jones (six Parkland physicians)--was small, neat, round. A second shot.
Kennedy's head was hit and moved: from behind and forward: a third shot.
From the front: to the back and left: a fourth shot.
Connolly had five wounds: back, chest, wrist entry, wrist exit, thigh: a fifth shot.
Tague was hit by concrete from a bullet hitting the curb: a sixth shot.
Other witnesses report seeing uniformed officers and presumed law enforcement officials in suits picking up bullets in the grass: additional shots.
The limousine was kept out of public sight and cleaned immediately, concealing additional ballistic evidence, possibly additional shots.
While witnesses heard three shots, many heard the second two within less than a second of each other.
In the acoustical canyon of Dealey Plaza, simultaneous shots would not be heard as distinct shots but as a single shot.
The use of silencers (suppressors) would have reduced the noise level of one or more shots, perhaps reducing the speed to subsonic.
Reduced speed of bullets might have produced nonpenetrating wounds.
Kennedy's body was taken from the sole legitimate criminal jurisdiction, all evidence was taken from Dallas police by the FBI.
Texas and Congress were prevented from investigating, while the Commission relied completely on Hoover's Bureau.
Johnson sealed the files for seventy-five years, a suppression of evidence inconsistent with a single nonaligned killer.
The appearance of a coverup to conceal a conspiracy did not come from Jim Garrison or Oliver Stone: it came from Johnson and Hoover.

I would like to see a line by line refutation of it by one of our prominent 'lone-nutters'.
because then I could feel peace of mind on this issue
and go back to thinking about other mysteries.
But:
Though I have absolutely no theories to offer for a possible conspiracy
after 40+ years of brooding about this case
I strongly feel
that amongst the partisans of various shades and denominations of theory
it is the supporters of the Warren Commission
who are the biggest kooks in this discussion.
