Experiment proves no bullet penetrated the limo windshield

[Gerry Down]

Experiment shows that a bullet fired through a 1961 Lincoln Continental windshield would make a very large noticeable hole rather than the small hole that a pencil would go through as some witnesses reported. These witnesses were most likely describing the concentrated crack in the windshield as can be seen in photos, which from a distance might mistakenly look like a through-and-through hole.

Thanks for posting.

The "JFK was shot from the front" narrative has always been squishy.

There are zero witnesses to any gunsels in the front of JFK. Sam Holland's railroad crew was atop the Third Street overpass.

The forensics papers seem written with agendas, on all sides. 

The purported blowout in the rear of JFK's skull, on his right side, should have thrown matter onto motorcyle cops to the limo's right. But matter was thrown to JFK's left.

My take is JFK was shot from behind. The GK? Maybe.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions....

The windshield was placed in the conference room where the Warren Commission held the witness testimonies. Many witnesses saw the windshield. None of the witnesses who wrote of their experience in the Warren Commission’s conference room said there was a hole through the windshield.

Why would any witness be expected to comment in the record on something sitting there but was not asked about?
Most witnesses in Dallas gave depositions to one attorney and stenographer at the U.S. Attorney's Office in the local Post Office Building.

“Assignment: Oswald” by James Hosty, page 193:
On the day of his testimony to the commission (May 1964 if I remember correctly):

In the middle of the room was a long conference table. At the far end was a large executive-type desk, and sitting on it was the windshield from President Kennedy’s limousine. The day before, Stern had shown this windshield to Belmont, Fain, Quigley, and me. We could see pock-marks on the inside of the windshield. Stern explained that forensic experts had determined that the pockmarks were consistent with highspeed bullet fragments hitting it.

So it was Hosty and his testimony drew no questions from it.
So not many.  A few FBI agents informally not expected to comment on it

“Yes, the windshield from the JFK assassination limousine was brought into the Warren Commission's hearing room and accepted as evidence on March 9, 1964.
The item, designated Commission Exhibit (CE) 351, was carried into the room wrapped in a blanket for examination by the commission members. Secret Service agents, including Roy H. Kellerman, who was in the front seat of the limousine during the shooting, were present to testify.
The windshield was a key piece of physical evidence in the investigation, particularly regarding the path of the bullets. FBI experts determined that an abrasion on the inner surface of the glass was caused by a bullet fragment impacting it from the inside of the car, corroborating the conclusion that all shots came from behind the limousine.
Today, the windshield is preserved as evidence and held by the National Archives. You can view images of the windshield through the National Archives catalog.”

So, it was brought into the room on March 9, 1964 and was still there in May when Hosty testified. I would assume that many other witnesses saw the windshield in that room.

It was shown to a few witnesses that made no comment..and there is no basis to assume others had seen it or expected to comment.
Or that it was even in the same room that witnesses testified in from March until May. It was wrapped in a blanket

Hosty testified April 8, '64 (google A-I)- was probably called in March 9th with the other FBI agents to view it. Kellerman was March 9th.
there are certainly not "...many other witnesses"
