JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: The First Shot
« Last post by Benjamin Cole on Today at 12:52:21 PM »
Typical bullets for handguns in 1963 were ordinary lead, especially for .38s.

Hollow points were rare to non-existent in 1963.

FMJ for more-powerful handguns did exist.

Only lead was detected on the curb strike near Tague.

Hard to see how FMJ's fired at the limo subsequently made a lead-only strike on the Tagee curb. I put very low odds, indeed vanishing, on that.

The second official investigation into the JFKA, the HSCA, concluded there had been a gunshot at the GK.

As a JFKA amateur-layman-hobbyist-buff, you are entitled to disagree.

Respectfully, I put more weight on the HSCA's findings than yours. That was a serious investigation, by a lot of smart and skeptical guys, many professionals. 

Reasonable JFKA speculation is that a handgun, fired on the GK, could have send a lead slug towards Tague and the nearby curb.

Does that explain the Tague shot? It is a reasonable explanation. No more, no less than that.

No, the LNT'ers and CT'ers cannot prove their views.

No surgeon testified to a bullet being removed from JBC's body Only fragments. Try putting 2 and 2 together some time and see what it adds up to.

 :D no one is saying that.
try and follow along

I see exactly what it says. Call it stupidity all day long.
 Thumb1: Right back ya. He is referring to the bullet and what he was told about fragments

How can you think a memo with the name OP Wright and the word bullet is referring to fragments as the same?
I'm not aware of him finding - being given  - or having anything to do  - with any fragment JBC or JFK.
He only found a bullet.

The WC holds that JFK was struck in the lower rear half of his skull at Z-313. That puts his skull between the bullet that struck him, and the curb near Tague.

Some WC-backers contend the bullet-strike to JFK's skull caused a "jet effect," of matter exploding to the right of JFK's skull.

Jet effect is a real phenomenon but probably not the primary cause of JFK's rearward movement. That was likely a neuro-muscular reaction to the massive brain trauma.

There are blow-outs on the right-side of JFKs skull in available x-rays, but none on the left.

Hard to see how a lead fragment could have squirted out of FMJ hitting the lower right of JFK's skull, and which caused a blow-out on the right-side of JFK's skull...but then a lead fragment went over left towards Tague.

When the bullet struck JFK's head, he was leaning hard to the right. The would have rotated the upper right side of his head toward the top which is why we see the dispersion of blood and brains going forward and upward in Z313.
Quote

A handgun fired from the GK would not have used a FMJ, but rather an ordinary lead slug. Only lead was detected on the curb strike near Tague.

There was no handgun fired from the GK. If there had been, the shooter would have had a choice of lead bullets, FMJ bullets, and hollow points.
Quote

Maybe a handgun is the source of the Tague strike.

That's as dumb as anything you have ever written.

I have never read a compelling explanation of the Tague curb strike. LNT or CT.

I by compelling you mean provable, you never will. The cause of Tague's injury will remain a mystery. Unlike the bullets that hit JFK and JBC, we can never prove that.

I think an appropriate monument would be to place a urinal over his grave.

I don't have the patience at the moment to deal with your stupidity. Read the memo again. Read it very carefully. Try to understand what you read.

I see exactly what it says. Call it stupidity all day long.
