Title: Does your CT dismiss the lapel / tie flap, etc?
Post by: Tom Graves on May 17, 2026, 11:42:26 AM

Lone Gunman Advocates tend to see things like the simultaneous rising of JFK's and JBC's right hands in Z-225 - Z-226 and the outward flap of Connally's lapel and tie in Z-224 (iirc) as indications that JFK and JBC were both struck from behind by CE-399.

If you're a Conspiracy Theorist, what do you see in the Zapruder film that leads you to disavow the Single Bullet Hypothesis?

JBC's continuing to hold onto his Stetson way past Z-222?

JBC's "speaking while turning around to see where the shot came from and whether or not JFK was okay" way past Z-222?

What?

I think the wind would have to be ruled out as the bullet hole is several inches below the lapel. A hand-held hair dryer will definitely and easily cause a suit lapel to flip open. Too bad the documentary “Beyond the Magic Bullet” that purported to simulate the SBT shot did not have the ballistic mannequins clothed as were JFK and JBC and photographed from in front of JBC.
