Would JBC have turned around so far to see where the shot had come from?

[Tom Graves]

When we look at Z-260, we've got to ask ourselves, "Would JBC really have turned around so far to see "where the shot had come from" and "try to catch a glimpse of JFK over his shoulder"?

I say he wouldn't.

Especially since we know now that, having heard the sounds of Oswald's first, missing-everything "Z-124" shot and having consciously and rapidly turned his head to his left starting at Z-150, JBC, in a futile attempt see where the shot had come from and to try to catch a glimpse of JFK, started turning far to his right in Z-165 and was still turned significantly in that direction when both he and JFK were struck by CE-399 at Z-222/Z-224.

Therefore, what we're seeing in Z-260 is a largish man who has been was struck by a bullet (CE-399) two seconds earlier -- but whose spinal cord and vital organs are still intact.

And who was in so much shock and pain that he couldn't remember later that he was finally able, on his second attempt, to see JFK with his peripheral vision if not directly.

"Case Closed"

If I remember correctly, JBC said that his initial thought after he was shot was that it was going to be fatal for hisself. I tend to agree that the turn and look JBC made around Z260 was a little over two seconds after he was hit. I think the reason he didn’t remember seeing JFK was something called repression:

“The psychological term is repression, a defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously blocks distressing memories or thoughts from their awareness to avoid emotional pain. It differs from suppression, which is the conscious decision to push thoughts away. Another related term is denial, which involves consciously or unconsciously refusing to acknowledge an unpleasant reality.”

I also think that is probably the same reason Jackie said she had no memory of crawling back onto the trunk lid of the limo.
