Nope, not even close. A total of seven people thought the shots came from the Knoll. Two people were standing there. Forty one people thought the shots came from the Depository.

You are awful dismissive of Havoc's points. To summarize:

1. Numerous people (depending on who you ask the numbers change) heard shots, saw smoke, heard bullets whizzing by, coming from the grassy knoll. Interestingly, during the official investigation, afterwards, these people were "encouraged" to remember things differently. One has to wonder why.

2. Ficticious secret service men were shooing people away from the grassy knoll (including Dallas policemen)during the lead-up period. The actual secret service was not involved in this activity. After the event, cops ran toward the grassy knoll to apprehend shooters.

3. Doctors at Parkland were unanimous in describing the neck wound as an entrance wound and the fatal shot as a shot to the temple.

4. Jackie Kennedy testified to the Warren Commission: "I was trying to hold his hair on. But from the front there was nothing. I suppose there must have been, but from the back you could see, you know, you were trying to hold his hair on, and his skull on."

1. The serviceman described an area of soft dirt that actually had a park bench during the assassination.

2. The motorcycle officer who rushed to the fence area disturbed a bum who was as surprised as he was. The officer didn't see any shooter[s]. The people who rushed up the sidewalk were actually trying to see the limo go north on Stemmens to Parkland.

3.Unanimously??
Dr. CARRICO. With those facts and the fact as I understand it no other bullet was found this would be, this was, I believe, was an exit wound.
Dr. PERRY. A full jacketed bullet without deformation passing through skin would leave a similar wound for an exit and entrance wound and with the facts which yon have made available and with these assumptions, I believe that it was an exit wound.

Other doctors at Parkland Hospital who observed the wound prior to the tracheotomy agreed with the observations of Drs. Perry and Carrico.

4. Not exactly the clearest statement a person could make.

"But from the front there was nothing." means that since the Zapruder film shows his facial features obscured by his scalp, there really was "Nothing" there. It was gone from the exit blast.
