Not really, just calling your bluff, and trying to keep the truly gullible ones from thinking this might be real.

  I agree. This is the way that JFK Assassination Urban Legends are generated. Someone then mistakenly repeats this baloney as being a Fact. This is exactly the kinda stuff that Oliver Stone gets ragged for doing.

Please cite the source of the alleged quote from George Hickey. Or is this supposed to be a joke?

Boy oh boy are you gullible, Charles.

TG-

I don't know the answers to your questions.

Dear danny BOY o'meara,

It's funny how Rosemary Willis is STILL not looking at JFK and Jackie in Z-207, but is STILL looking back towards that doggone TSBD!

I wonder why the heck THAT is?

Any ideas, danny BOY o'meara?

(LOL!)

Regardless, you posted:

Glen Bennett (notes written on 11-22-63, 24H541-542): "At this point I heard a noise that immediately reminded me of a firecracker. I immediately, upon hearing the supposed firecracker, looked at the boss's car. At this exact time I saw a shot that hit the boss about 4 inches down from the right shoulder. A second shoot followed immediately and hit the right rear high of the boss's head." (While the precise meaning of Bennett's words are open to debate, they do on first glance suggest that he felt the first shot missed. Since he did not see Kennedy's reaction to the first shot, but only saw him at the "exact time" he received the second shot, it seems possible the blood seen by Bennett came from the first shot. But we'll call this one a first shot miss.)

Nice spin job, danny BOY o'meara.

The thing is, Bennett said he looked at the limo after he heard the sound of what seemed to be a firecracker. Since JFK's assistant, Dave Powers, was sitting in front of him on the jump seat, Bennett had to lean far to his right to see around him. That's exactly what we see him (or Powers?) doing as early as Z-144 https://assassinationresearch.com/zfilm/z144.jpg and as late as Z-196 https://assassinationresearch.com/zfilm/z196.jpg , which is interesting because HSCA photo expert Cecil Kirk said in the mock trial that the fact that the right arm of JFK, who had just finished waving to some people on his right, is extended straight out, upward and to his left in Z-199 indicated to him that JFK had just been shot.

Also, Bennett didn't say he saw blood coming from JFK's back -- he said he saw a bullet strike him in the back.

Brian Roselle may have been actively looking for photographic evidence of an early, missing-everything shot.

"Good on him," because he sure found it: SEVEN prime witnesses (FIVE of whom were passengers in the limo, and two of whom were nearby) whose rapid, conscious head movements in response to hearing Oswald's first, missing-everything shot at "Z-124" were recorded on film as being within half-a-second of each other.

You quoted George Hickey. I've inserted the part he was evidently too embarrassed to include:

"I heard what seemed to me that a firecracker [that] exploded to the right and rear. [About five seconds after leaning over and barfing on the pavement,] I stood partially up and turned to the rear to see if I could observe anything."

PS I reiterate: Knock yourself out with your litany of virtually worthless eyewitness / earwitness "testimony" regarding what oodles and gobs of startled and traumatized people allegedly saw and heard in the echo chamber known as Dealey Plaza sixty-two years ago today.
