I feel that if TUM fired his umbrella as a weapon, it might have been an ice projectile of some sort or a dissolving fletchette....either of which carried a substance used to paralyze and immobilize the president. This would have been a frontal shot to the throat area   How long would it take for any paralyzing substance fired by a dart to bring about an effect ? Gerry when I read about this sometime ago, I believe it was like 2 seconds. Of course this was developed to silence guard dogs. I guess someone must have missed the fact that a guard dog would have yelped when shot with the dart! At any rate, I myself have never given this a second thought. It just seems to ridiculous. Mike, thanks for the info. Mike. If a poisonous dart has been fired at JFK why only when the motorcade has long passed the TSBD ? Wouldn't it be more logical to paralyze JFK shortly before he reaches the Kill Zone near the TSBD so that it would be easier for the medium shot Oswald to hit the target ? Here is what i found at Wikipedia about reaction times of agents: Agents that act on the nervous system can paralyze in seconds or less, and include both biologically derived neurotoxins and so-called nerve gases, which may be synthesized for warfare or industry.well, it is not very telling " In seconds or less"  If Umbrella Man fired a dart JFK would probably been near the underpass or under it till the poison/agent would have taken effect. I think a dart fired from an umbrella at a moving target from abot 3 m distance would still be too inacurate. I have a problem imagining that. Not to mention that some doctors at Parkland or Bethesda would have probably found residue of the agent in his blood. Gerry, And the biggest of all questions. What would the assassins have done if the paralytic would have just caused JFK to lose all muscular control (as paralytics do) and simply slump to the floor board unexposed for a shot? The whole things just seems to silly to me. Obviously you don't understand what paralyze means. It does mean going limp. Because you are not a researcher you don't realize that JFK could not have simply slumped to the floor. First he was wearing a back brace which restricted his movement. Second there was no room for him to slump to the floor because there was barely enough room for his legs due to Connally's jump seat being only a few inches right in front of him. I think I have a pretty good idea what paralysis means. Of course it means going limp just as I said. He may not have slumped to the floor, but certainly he could have slumped fell over in the seat, much as he did right after the headshot. I wonder why the back brace did not stop him from falling over then? Of course that was the point I was making. Also the dart gun as tested was tested and accurate to 100 yards not 50, I guess you missed that Mr. Researcher. Just as you completely missed the mark telling me that police departments don't use frangible bullets, and just about every other ballistic comment you have made. 100 yards: As a guest, you are not allowed to view links.

If your lack of knowledge is an indication of being a researcher, then please by all means allow me to retain my "dumb ole country boy" status. And while I have your ear, Don Roberdeau no more "stole" your map than the man on the moon. He did however give me some wonderful insight into what type of person you are. If I ever meet you at a conference and you need someplace to sleep, or some cash for food, just let me know. Id be glad to help you out.
