Why the James Tague Wounding Refutes the Lone-Gunman Theory

[John Corbett]

     The same goes for the SBT. Total  Not only do they get away with pushing these kook THEORIES, they get the National Media to provide a platform for the megaphoning of this baloney.

I always find it amusing that the people who claim the SBT is  never explain why it is  or offer a viable alternative. Could it be because there is no viable alternative that explains JFK's non-fatal wounds and all of JBC's wounds.

There is that gouge on the Elm st manhole cover which would line up with a shot fired from the TSBD SE 6th floor window about  2.5 secs after Z313. But since there was no copper element found in the examination of the curb then the question would be if striking the manhole cover could have separated the copper jacket and lead core such that only a lead fragment hit the curb? IDK

This scenario would work if Z224 was the 1st shot , Z313 was the 2nd shot and then the 3rd shot was fired in about 2.5 sec after Z313 , which struck the manhole cover.

There was no shot fired after Z313.

   Knott Lab and forensic science has declared the SBT, "Is Impossible". Follow the Science. Over the last 40 yrs, Knott Lab has been the Gold Standard when it comes to tracing bullet trajectories. Admitted as Evidence inside courtrooms across the USA.

I looked at the Knott Lab 3D animation and compared to Dale Myers' work, it is primitive, even though Myers did his animation 20 years earlier. It looked like Knott Lab was using 1980s technology. By Knott's own admission, their simulation was a work in progress. Mostly it show still frame from various perspectives and not ones that would demonstrate the path of the bullet in relation to JFK and JBC. In one view they showed JBC from various positions in front of JFK. They started with JBC directly in front of JFK, which is not where he was when the bullet struck, and gradually slid him to the left, showing where the bullet exiting JFK's throat would have struck JBC. When directly in front of JFK, it showed the bullet hitting JBC on the left side of his back. They then gradually slid JBC leftward showing where the bullet would have struck him in various positions. At one point, it showed the bullet striking JBC exactly where it did, just to the left of his right armpit. By the time they slid him to the far left, they showed the bullet hitting him in the right arm. Since they showed this animation from a side view, we cannot determine just where JBC was in relation to JFK at any point but it appeared to me when JBC was aligned to be struck by the bullet near his right armpit, it looked very close to the position he was actually in when the bullet struck, slightly to the left of JFK. In every position they placed him, their simulation showed the bullet would have hit somewhere from the left side of his back to his right arm. We know he wasn't hit in the left side of his back and we know he wasn't hit in the right arm. He was struck just to the left of his right armpit. Logic would dictate that whatever simulated position JBC was in to be struck by the bullet exiting JFK's throat, that must have been where he actually was at the time.

I'm all for following the science as long as it is good science. During Covid, we were told to follow the science and now we know Fauci was full of sh*t.

Very hard to convince me a BULLET aiming for the president's head deflected off a leave (which by all accounts is not supposed to be strong enough to deflect a bullet).
Bullet hitting a curb and knocking a piece of rock/glass and hitting an onlooker? Plausible, i guess.
A bullet deflecting off a tree leave? total

Just to be accurate, Posner's theory is that the alleged lone gunman's first bullet hit a limb of the intervening oak tree -- not a leaf, but a limb. Then, so the theory goes, the bullet's jacket separated from the lead core, and the bullet then sent two large fragments streaking in different directions, one striking the pavement behind the limo and the other magically weaving through the other tree limbs and jetting straight to the Tague curb site over 400 feet away.

Yes, it is fairy-tale material to assume that a supposed "sharpshooter" aimed at JFK's head or upper back but was so wildly off the mark that the bullet hit one of the tree limbs, and even hit far enough up the limb so the limb didn't snap or bend. No sensible, rational, objective person is going to buy such an utterly absurd scenario.

Specter and the FBI recognized immediately that the Tague wounding wreaked havoc on their single-assassin theory, which is why they ignored it for as long as they dared. Indeed, as mentioned, when the WC finally asked the FBI to investigate the Tague incident, the Dallas FBI claimed they could not find the Tague curb scar and theorized that street cleaners had wiped it away!

You're full of beans.
