JFK Assassination Forum

The Iranian  strategy is making Trump look weak.  WAKE UP TRUMP and stop acting like Biden.

    Badgeman was one of many highlights in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy". That British presentation was far from a "1 Trick Pony". The Gordon Arnold segment did give us a pretty good look at that area between the N-S Picket Fence and the short wall. Even though that view was 25 yrs later, how many images do we have of that area?  And the segment where they detail the hiring of the foreign shooters was also interesting.

I thought the description of where the 3 shooters were positioned was novel. I have never heard anyone claim/speculate that a shooter was positioned in the rear, "almost on the horizontal". In view of SS Paul Landis recently claiming that he recovered a bullet in the backseat area of the JFK Limo at Parkland Hospital, does give credence to a possible "almost on the horizontal" shooter being connected to JFK's "shallow" Back Wound.
    Sure, there is more wrong than right in TMWKK, but you're making a mistake if you casually "throw the baby out with the bath water" here. I also think if you knew how the Gordon Arnold story eventually came to light, you would view Arnold and his story in a much different light.

MTG-

As usual, in chaotic situations, there are eyewitnesses and other eyewitnesses.

However, three eyewitnesses place Sirhan close enough to RFK for the fatal shot, and Coroner Noguchi's estimates of the gunshot distance are only that, estimates.

Sirhan said that RFK turned suddenly away when he (Sirhan) put his gun towards RFK's face. So that explains the shot to the rear of RFK's head.

In addition, witnesses described all gun shot reports as the same in pitch and volume---in other words, all shots sounded as if they were the same, from Sirhan's .22 or an identical .22.

This tends to rule out the idea that RFK was shot from behind by security guard Eugene Thane Cesar, who was armed with a .38. BTW, Cesar's connections to the "Deep State" are non-existent.

That said, Larry Hancock and John Hunt did careful work (see Hunt's book), and concluded that more than eight shots were fired that night in the Ambassador.

It is risible Sirhan was hypnotized, although he may have been deranged, and put himself into a state or stupor.

Sirhan was a loveless, nearly penniless, diminutive, baleful anti-Semitic crackpot, who murdered RFK for the Senator's support of Israel, and said so many times.

I open to the idea Sirhan's brother, a Palestinian extremist who bought the .22 handgun for Sirhan, could have also fired some shots that night. There were many reports of someone who looked a lot like Sirhan at the Ambassador.

The LA DA wanted a prosecutable case, and went with the LN narrative.

Hey Steve - A "picket" is pointed or sharp. A stockade fence is Blunt or Oval at most.

I believe this is why "Picket" Fence is used to describe the Dealey Plaza fencing.
