JFK Assassination Forum

You don't "get" it.

Why is nobody addressing the 1,000 elephant in the room? What she describes the JFK Limo doing is Not on the Current Zapruder Film. "The car momentarily Stopped and Pulled Slightly To The Side and then took off at High Speed". Her description does validate Motorcycle Officer Hargis "rolling stop" and ASAIC Kellerman claiming the JFK Limo suddenly accelerated to the point of, "jumped out of the G.D. street".  Again, none of this is on the Current Zapruder Film.

Wowie zowie!

All of the other photos and films, not to mention the X-rays taken at Parkland Hospital) must have been ALTERED, TOO, huh?

1000 elephants?

OMG!

Maybe they were just a DIVERSION for some of the bad guys as they were shooting at JFK from the bushes (but missed everything!) and then as they were driving their low-clearance, highly noticeable 1958 Pontiac Bonneville down Elm Street Extension to either unexpectedly abandon it next to the "island" or intentionally leave it there for the OTHER bad guys to get away in!!!

I already addressed this, but here it is again.

Thanks Ben, I looked into this and researched what happens to fabric when acted upon with a bullet because at face value something didn't add up, for a start the hole appears to be square and the dimensions of the hole exceed the size of a 6.5 mm Carcano bullet and on either side of the hole, the fabric was excessively ragged.

Then as they say in the classics, corroborated evidence is some of the best evidence, so I went back to Dr. Gregory's testimony where he says that the bullet entrance was linear and perhaps 3/4 of an inch long and looking closely at the higher quality image of Connally's shirt it became immediately apparent that the shredding started at a point which corresponds with the approximate size of the actual wound, now we are getting somewhere.
So next I investigated the properties of fabric after a bullet passed through and as I posted, in every example the hole was far less than the diameter of the bullet and in each case we see the familiar shredding as seen on Connally shirt. Ergo the bullet struck Connally's shirt while the bullet was yawing.

Mr. SPECTER - What did the wound of entry look like, Doctor?
Dr. GREGORY - It appeared to me that the wound of entry was sort of a linear wound, perhaps three-quarters of an inch in length with a rounded central portion. Whereas, the wound of exit was rather larger than this, perhaps an inch and a half across.











One fact to add is that CE399 was flattened on one side which indicates that after
CE399 enters Connally at an angle at a relatively high speed, it smashed through his ribs side on which resulted in only one side being flattened!

That's exactly right, John.  The size of a bullet hole in fabric does nothing to tell you whether the bullet entered straight-on, entered at an angle or was tumbling.

I saw that one in that photo but not in the Towner film. Thanks for the precision, though.

The boy in a red cap? Never saw him! One man in a JFK thread on Facebook that he wears a red cap in a film. I didn’t believe him. I’ll contact him.
