Gunman in the pergola window...

[Jake Maxwell]

Take note of Zapruder's testimony in this dialogue below... Zapruder follows the line of thought that Kennedy was hit on the right side of his head, and that the shot came from behind him... and that he was in the line of fire...
This fellow shooting from the pergola window is likely what Zapruder heard...

Mr. ZAPRUDER. Yes--after the shots--yes, some of them were motorcycle cops--I guess they left their motorcycles running and they were running right behind me, of course, in the line of the shooting. I guess they thought it came from right behind me.

Mr. LIEBELER. Did you have any impression as to the direction from which these shots came?

Mr. ZAPRUDER. No, I also thought it came from back of me. Of course, you can't tell when something is in line it could come from anywhere, but being I was here and he was hit on this line and he was hit right in the head--I saw it right around here, so it looked like it came from here and it could come from there.

Mr. LIEBELER. All right, as you stood here on the abutment and looked down into Elm Street, you saw the President hit on the right side of the head and you thought perhaps the shots had come from behind you?

Mr. ZAPRUDER. Well, yes.

Zapruder's got his mistaken impression the bullet struck the right side of JFK's head because he saw the right side of JFK's head open up. Such an explosive wound is more associated with an exit. In fact the bullet entered the rear of JFK's head and exited near his temple. It shattered his skull and the pressure cavity caused an explosive blowout wound between the entrance and exit wounds.

Conspiracy hobbyists always look to the least compelling evidence to get their answers rather than the most compelling. In this case, it required and autopsy to determine the true nature of his wounds. The autopsy positively established the two shots the struck JFK entered in his upper back and the back of his head.

Case Closed.

Case Closed.

When the closest witnesses to the event give their testimony, confirmed by the response of trained police officers - not to mention the reaction of crowds of people swarming the grassy knoll to investigate what they heard - it's not a matter of case closed - but "mind closed"... closed to all testimony and all visual evidence that might go contrary to a pre-conceived theory.

Mind closed.

And perhaps "eyes closed"...
Moorman's photo suggests the profile of a sniper from the pergola window, and it warrants further investigation.

You don't need an open mind to see a sniper in the pergola window.

You need a hole in your head.

It's a good thing that evidence doesn’t depend on insults...

You are an insult -- to rationality.

You are an insult -- to rationality.

Reason and openness to new evidence endure, even in the face of your middle school insults.
