"People, Kennedy was killed by a lone nut, Lee Harvey Oswald...end of story."

I beg to seriously differ. If you watch the Zapruder film closely, you'll notice that with the fatal second shot, JFK's head snaps back to the rear of the limo and the skull fragments explode in the front of his head with the fragments flowing to the rear of the limo too. These lone facts tell the second shot came from the front. Any ballistics expert will very that to be the norm for a frontal shot.

Not correct.

Kennedy’s head went back because of the “jet effect” caused by brain tissue exiting his head towards the front, from a shot from the rear. It’s basic physics.

Simply use a highpowered rifle and shoot aninanimate oblect liek a watermelon or a simple 5 gallon jug filled with water. You will see the same effect. Bullet enters from direction A, container splinters outward, bullet exits on side B, container moves in direction A. Makes it look as if container was shot from direction B instead of direction A. I recreated the scene using a simple VHS camera and a 4 head recorder to stop action/slow motion the tape. Simple and very explanatory. Try it yourself.

Any ballistic expert that would say that, is a bone head.
