When Was JBC Hit?

[Andrew Mason]

Not all five quickly within half-a-second of each other.

Why not? What if someone like Mary Woodward and her friends shouted to the President and both he and Jackie turned and smiled and waved? And what if JBC turned to his right as well due to the same shout? And what if Mary Woodward said the first “horrible ear-shattering noise” was just after this?

Wrong side of the street.

Woodward and her friends were standing on the north side of Elm Street (i.e., to JFK's right).

JFK temporarily stopped waving before the limo reached Woodward and Co., and about a half-second later he turned his head quickly to his left at Z-143.

Jackie turned her head, in an accelerating manner, to her left at Z-143.5, and had a concerned look on her face when Robert Croft photographed her at Z-161. 

At Z-150, Connally turned his head quickly to his left, and was therefore captured "looking straight ahead" in the Croft photo.


Nice try, though.

So random turns in different directions can only mean that a gunshot occurred.  That means there were several on Main Street. They just weren’t caotured on film and didn’t hit anyone.

Connally was hit when he himself said he was hit: Z234. That's why just four frames later his right shoulder is driven downward, his cheeks puff, and a pained expression appears on his face, in perfect agreement with what forensic science tells us about involuntary reaction times, and in perfect agreement with how Connally described the powerful impact of the bullet.

So much of the evidence relating to the shooting is actually simple and straightforward, but those who are chained down by the lone-gunman theory won't accept it because it doesn't fit their theory of the shooting.

I guess when he suddenly flipped his right arm upward at Z226, he was just anticipating being shot about a half second later.
