Duh indeed.  What tells you this is a "standard 30 cm ruler"?

It's really not difficult, as I said, look harder.

I borrowed this photo from another thread.



Just above the box in the window there are three cars in three lanes....

The car in the center lane seems to be in roughly the same position where JFK's limo was when the shots were fired.

How does a bullet fired from this window and travelling in a straight downward line, passing through Kennedy's back and throat, end up hitting Connally?

Any suggestions?

Martin, according to the ITEK Corp. Film and Photographic Analysis of the assassination, the lateral angle of trajectory was 11.5? +/-1? right to left, relative to the midline of the limo. They measured Connally to be positioned 6.4" +/-2.2" inboard of Kennedy.

How does a bullet passing through Kennedy's back/neck and throat not end up hitting Connally?

I am not going to debate the ITEK conclusions with you, simply because determinations like these are at best speculative and can be made to measure to fit any theory. There are way too many different theories around about how Connally and Kennedy were positioned and, as far as I know, none of them were ever conclusively proven. I'd much rather discuss what we can see with our own eyes.

All I asked for is that somebody show me a straight line from the window to the limo below, in such a way that a bullet going through Kennedy does not end up in the area between to two jumpseats. So far, despite the fact that they can move the limo to any location in the center lane, nobody has been able to show that straight line.

Taken from the Secret Service follow-up car, earlier in the motorcade route before reaching Dealey Plaza...

 Also, The 2 Tall SS Agents standing atop the Queen Mary (R) running board are Never included in the line of sight/alleged "straight line" running from the snipers nest to the back of JFK. Bearing in mind the JFK Limo was progressing Down Hill, these Elevated SS Agents that were within mere feet of JFK should be included. Their continued 54+ year absence from consideration raises obvious questions.
