JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: When Was JBC Hit?
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 12:31:59 AM »Just to take one example from your litany of lame rationalizations, you say "Jackie moved [turned, to be more precise] her head [to her left starting at Z-145] to acknowledge the crowd."
Rhetorical question: Is that why she had a concerned look on her face as she was looking directly at Robert Croft in his well-known Z-161 photograph?
Seems like a strange way to "acknowledge the crowd."
(Was Secret Service Agent Roy Kellerman turned so far to his right in the Croft photo to "acknowledge the crowd," or to "keep an eye on them xxxxxxx"?)
By the way, you never gave a rational answer to my question:
Why did Secret Service Agent George Hickey lean so far over the side of the car, and when did he begin that motion?
Answers:
Hickey began his conscious response to Oswald's first missing-everything "Z-124" shot by Z-146.

He maxed out in Z-157

Very compelling evidence of an early shot, however I still maintain there is no definitive proof of how early. We have clues but it comes down to how we weigh those clues as to when that first shot was fired. The clearest reaction is JBC's head turn at Z164. We just don't know how quickly he reacted. A shot at theoretical Z124 would have been heard by JBC at theoretical Z126. That's 38 frames or just over two seconds. It's possible but certainly not definitive. If you are going to postulate a shot before Zapruder resumed filming, I don't know how you can pinpoint it to a theoretical frame.
Hickey did not testify before the WC but he did file a report.

The report is a bit vague. He describes the first sound as a disturbance but clearly states the next two were gunshots. I can't find it any reference to this in his report but somebody had stated years ago on McAdams website that Hickey had looked over the side of the car because he thought a tire might have blown out. I don't know where they got that from so I don't know how reliable that claim is. What is interesting to me is that he described the last two shots as sounding different from the first. The question is why did it sound different. You have suggested it was because the first shot was fired with the muzzle inside the building. I have suggested the roar of the accelerating motorcycles could have muffled the sound of the first shot. There is no definitive proof for either explanation.
