JFK Assassination Forum

The animation came from a computer program "JFK Reloaded" from which I created the 4 separate POV's and composited them into a single GIF. The reason I showed each view at a stationary angle as the Limo passed, was to show the corresponding angular velocity and therefore demonstrate the difficulty in tracking the shot.

JM--

I can't prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt.

I lean towards believing that Dallas PD officer Joe Smith, war vet, smelled gunsmoke near the GK, about where Sam Holland other railroad workers said they saw a puff of smoke, in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA.

Of course, they were not the only ones who saw smoke and smelled gunsmoke (gunsmoke gives off a particular scent).

It is a fact a snub-nose .38, especially if freshly oiled, would give off a lot of noise and smoke, especially with certain cheap ammos or hand-packed ammo. The snub-nose .38 was the default concealed weapon of the day.

It is notable that DPD Smith and Dallas Sheriff Seymour Weitzman both encountered a man flashing an (apparently) fake Secret Service credential near the GK, in the aftermath of the JFKA.

That's my take.

I cannot prove my case, but that is the way I lean.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

Robin would a clearer blowup show Bell standing/filming in front of the peristyle in the uppest part of that pix.
