Re: Motorcycle Policeman Hargis said Limo stopped !
Bob Prudhomme:
I'm so happy Mr. Hargis eventually got his mind right, and was able to erase his faulty memories from that fateful day, and see what really happened.
*sarcasm off*
Bob Prudhomme:
For the umpteen millionth time, have a look at frame z313 of the Zapruder film.
The cloud of blood and brain matter is mostly below the level of the top of the windshield, and was therefore shielded from the wind blowing head on at the limo.
The limo was travelling approximately 12 mph. From the still, everything coming from JFK's head was accelerating away from his head toward the front of the limo, and would be travelling at a velocity of 12 mph plus whatever its own velocity was. Wouldn't it have a tendency to land on Connally and his wife, instead of "hanging" in a cloud for Hargis to ride through?
Mike Orr:
If the limo stopped ( close to the time of JFK's head shot from the front ) then why does the Zapruder film not show this limo stopping or even slowing down ?
Jerry Freeman:
Links should be supplied when claims are made.
Apparently, Bobby Hargis did not testify before the Commission.
Nor was a deposition or any statement of his [officially] produced.
--- Quote ---This claim goes back to Josiah Thompson's book Six Seconds in Dallas.
No one has ever produced any statement from Hargis saying he was hit with any "force," although he most certainly was "hit." Here is the article Thompson is quoting, from the Sunday News, New York, November 24, 1963, page 21 (courtesy of Steve Barber):
....
"Then I felt something hit me. It could have been concrete or something, but I thought at first I might have been hit."
"Then I saw the limousine stop, and I parked my motorcycle at the side of the road, got off and drew my gun."

(3) Roy Truly, Oswald?s boss at the TSBD, later stated that the limousine swerved to the left and stopped during the assassination;
(4) DPD officer Bobby W. Hargis?riding escort to the immediate left rear of the limousine?in an interview never published by a local newspaper, but whose text was later found and written about by Richard Trask in his book Pictures of the Pain, stated that the limousine stopped during the assassination; and
(5) In numerous interviews over many years, Bill Newman (standing to the immediate right of the limousine during the assassination with his wife and two children) has repeatedly and consistently recalled that there was a very brief, but definite car stop by the limousine during the assassination

After the last shot, ?there was a plume of blood and brains and plasma. It was just like a fog, and I ran right through it.?
--- End quote ---
Where did the plasma come from? An exploding bullet perhaps?
