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.

That's why Oswald missed everything with his first shot at "Z-124," half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming at Z-131. (Herb Huskr at "JFK Truth Be Told," claims he spotted a mark on the asphalt in the Secret Service reenactment film that would have been the closest-to-JFK a missing-everything bullet could have possibly come at "Z-124")

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.

Thanks Robin, it's good to see you posting again and all these GIFs, videos and images are really helpful in visualizing the events surrounding this tragic day.

Thanks John.

That's an interesting animation. Where did you get it? My only criticism is it shows the scope stationary. Oswald would have been tracking his target as soon as it turned onto Elm if not before. I doubt his scope was stationary at any time.

Do I find problems with Obama playing golf 41 times a year? I would if he insisted he needed a huge ballroom that would dwarf the White House itself for safety reasons, while still going golfing 41 rounds a year. It is inherently harder to guard a President on a golf course than at the Washington Hilton.

If Trump insists he needs a ballroom, while the Washington Hilton seems adequate, the would-be shooter never got close to him, but insists on going golfing 50 times a year. Golfing is not a security threat but not having the Golden Ballroom is. Makes no sense.

  The golf stuff above is age old Fake News clap trap. You demean yourself by willfully becoming nothing more than a myna bird.
