JFK's Throat Wound Was an Entrance Wound: Refuting the Shored-Wound Theory

[Royell Storing]

I'd be willing consider the Knott Lab conclusion the SBT is impossible if they would tell us why it is impossible but the CTs who cite their work always leave that part out.

  Can YOU explain the splitting of the Atom and Nuclear Fission? Or do you believe that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were simply a hoax? Try to be consistent.

I guess I'm just supposed to blindly accept the Knott Lab conclusion without them explaining how they arrived at their conclusion.

What storm drain are you referring to? Not by the GK as shots from there were impossible. I'm saying the one removed by Dallas at the corner of Elm and Houston. That's the only place a upward angle shot could have come from. On one was laying on the ground obviously.

HUH??? I guess you haven't read the Knott Lab articles on their SBT trajectory analysis nor watched any of the videos on their analysis.

We all know that if the Knott Lab analysis had found the SBT to be possible, WC apologists would be endlessly pointing out that Knott Lab is a respected forensic reconstruction engineering firm and that their analysis dwarfed all previous analyses in the amount of data collected for it.

The SBT died when we learned there was no hole through JFK's tie and no nick on either edge of the tie knot. It also died when we learned that the autopsy doctors determined beyond any doubt that the back wound had no exit point, and that men around the autopsy table could see the end of the probe pushing up against the lining of the chest cavity. It also died when we learned from the released transcript of the 1/27/64 WC executive session that the first two drafts of the autopsy report said nothing about the throat wound being an exit point for the back wound (yeah, because they knew for an absolute fact that the back wound had no exit point).

But SBT believers still cannot bring themselves to face these cold, hard facts.

Your factoids are not facts.

Just a reminder that the only theory that WC apologists can offer to explain the throat wound's small size and entry-like appearance is the impossible shored-wound theory. We know from Humes' own notes that Dr. Perry told him the wound was only about 5 mm in diameter. In his 11/22/63 notes, Dr. Perry

The Parkland doctors said the throat wound had “no jagged edges or stellate lacerations”  (6 WH 3), had “relatively smooth edges (6 WH 54), and was “rather clean” (3 WH 372).

In addition, two of the Parkland doctors seemed to indicate the wound had an abrasion collar; one of them specifically said it had bruising around its edges (7 HSCA 302; 6 WH 42). When Dr. Perry was interviewed by Harold Weisberg, he specified that the throat wound had an abrasion collar. Entry wounds usually have abrasion collars, while exit wounds usually do not.

Again, the only theory that WC defenders have offered to explain the throat wound's small size and entry-like appearance is the impossible shored-wound theory. Even today, some WC apologists still cite the theory to explain the throat wound, unaware the theory has been debunked.

You really show your ignorance with this one. The reason exit wounds are usually larger than entrance wounds is because lead bullets will deform when striking a body whether they hit bone or soft tissue. A deformed bullet will not make a nice neat round exit wound. Oswald was firing a FMJ bullet. These bullets do not deform when striking soft tissue. They make the same size hole going out as they do coming in when they don't strike bone. Lead or lead nosed bullets are more common and an experienced ER doctor like Perry would have seen more exit wounds caused by soft lead bullets than FMJ bullets. It's amazing that somebody who has been at this as long as you have needs that explained to you.

You don't get to dictate what options WC defenders have. We get to decide that. The back wound was unquestionably an entrance wound. If the throat wound was also an entrance wound, there was no exit for either wound. That means there should have been two bullets in the body. There were none. These bullets apparently vanished inside JFK's body. That requires not one but two Magic Bullets.
