I agree, and without a missed shot there probably would not have been a SBT
Hi Michael, There were plenty of missed shots. There was a first missed shot which hit near the Chism family and made sparks on either the street or left the six inch scar on the sidewalk there. Later when Mr. James Tague was standing up in the open about 40 feet from the Commerce Street triple underpass he was nicked by either a bullet fragment or a chip of the concrete curb there. At the same time a bullet hit the corner of the manhole cover and lodged itself in the grass. It was picked up and pocketed by a blond haired man in a suit who is unknown. So there were plenty of bullets to go around. Both John and Nellie went to their graves saying the first shot hit the President; the second shot hit John; and the third shot hit the President. People have done very strange things for sixty years out of fear. Buell Wesley Frazier has only just recently described a man similar to James Braden who threw a rifle in the back seat of his car in between the Dal-Tex and TSBD. Roy Edward Lewis is found on the Bronson, Nix, Hughes, and Zapruder films behind Jean Hill and Mary Moorman, yet he maintains/swears that he was behind the glass at the TSBD entrance and saw people hit the ground in front of him after he heard Boom, Boom, Boom. So he was and is still living in fear. The Warren Commission was super flexible with their interpretation of the evidence. The throat wound was initially okayed to be on Houston street right before the turn on ELM. Then it was allowed that the President looked back at the Sixth floor window and was shot. All they needed was creative lawyers like Arlen Specter and they could come up with any scenario. Thank you for your input! Sincerely yours, Michael
