    I have heard it said that Altgens is on the Extreme (R) shaking hands with a cop. That's his "goody bag" draped over his shoulder.

That is quite possible:

His first few photo's were taken from that location.

But a lone single-shot bolt action rifle on 11.22?

I am skeptical.

The only two recovered bullets and the three recovered shells were positively matched to Oswald's bolt action rifle to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world. No other bullets and no other shells were recovered. All the wounds to JFK and JBC were caused by shots from above and behind them. There were almost 4 seconds between the first and second shots and almost 5 seconds between the second and third shots. That is plenty of time to operate the bolt and fire the rifle twice more after firing the first shot. Oswald's Carcano was the murder weapon and there is no evidence of any other weapon being fired in Dealey Plaza that day. Why would you be skeptical?

   ROBIN & DUNCAN - Thanks for your great work/postings. It seriously raises the bar and the discussion on this forum.

It's too bad that Oswald, moving around in his white t-shirt, was cropped out.

   Who proved on 11/22/63 that Oswald was running around the TSBD in a "white t-shirt"?

   And here on the (R) is Officer Haygood at his motorcycle near the Triple Underpass at the 12:35 time period. Thanks to my good friend "The Professor" for helping to prove that Todd was wrong once again.
Hackerott gives us "an estimation of the time as 12:36." You try to turn that into "12:35." Your attempt at misleading everyone aside, there is nothing in Hackerott's analysis that  contradicts what I've been saying.

This is the level you're down to.

Looks like a "projector" hot spot, from pausing the film in one place for too long.

TG--

Brian Roselle's positing a bullet fragment splitting off from JFK's skull and then striking the curb near Tague's feet, but with enough force to send concrete upwards across Tague's face and leave a cut...

Then we have the additional problem that the WC and HSCA say the bullet entered the lower portion of JFK's rear skull, and then exited the right upper portion(that's why there are those large missing skull fragment in the JFK skull x-rays).

In fact, the whole "jet effect" argument is that the bullet and matter were violently ejected to JFK's right, propelling his head to hisleft.

But Tague was way to the left of JFK.

Like JBC's wrist wound, the Tague shot seems to defy explanation. I don't have an answer, and I have never read an answer that holds water.

Like the heavy smell of gunsmoke in DP-GK area in the immediate aftermath of the JFK. The odd man flashing Secret Service credentials on the GK area, to DPD Joe Smith and Sheriff Weitzman. The numerous witnesses who report rapid gunshots on 11.22, too rapid to have been issued by a single-shot-per bolt-action rifle.

Well, the curtain is closing on the JFKA, the decades have gone by. The topic is finally fading.

I easily concede that there are crackpot CT's galore, each worse than the next.

In his first statement, and most contemporaneous, Amos Euins said he thought the 11/22 shots had been fired so quickly he suspected an automatic rifle.



JBC also said he thought the shots were so close together that he thought it might be an automatic rifle. If it were actually an automatic rifle, you wouldn't hear individual shots. Most automatic weapons fire at a rate of 10 rounds per second or faster. People often erroneously use the term automatic when speaking of semi-automatic weapons. When the trigger is pressed on a full-auto weapon, it will fire continuously until the trigger is released or the ammo is exhausted. A semi-auto uses the gasses from one shot to eject the empty shell and chamber the next round, just as a full auto does but it requires a second squeeze of the trigger to fire the next round. A semi-auto fires one and only one round for each squeeze of the trigger. A semi-auto can fire much more rapidly than a bolt action rifle or a lever gun and I'm sure JBC was referring to a semi-auto when he said he thought the shooter was firing an automatic weapon. As it turns out, he was wrong anyway.
