JFK Assassination Forum

If the WC had the benefit of modern technology and more time to look at blow ups of the Z-frames.  they might have figured out that JFK's right hand was still moving down at Z225 and didn't start upward until Z226, the same frame JBC's arm started up. Coincidence? Hardly.Another example of the WC missing clues because they lacked the technology to do a frame-by-frame study with magnified frames. What they did was create still photos of the magnified frames but that didn't allow them to see the subtle changes from frame to frame like the bulging of JBC's jacket or JFK's hand still moving downward at Z225.

He knew that JFK had moved.  He mentioned that in his hospital bed interview.  He would also know how difficult it is to miss a target the size of the limousine from anywhere in a place as small as Dealey Plaza.

But JBC doesn’t have to provide that evidence.  There at least 21 witnesses plus another 15 witnesses along Elm St . who put the first shot striking JFK. Then there are the 47 witnesses who recalled the last two shots closer together that further nuke the first shot miss.

Nellie was no worse a witness than any of the other 20 first shot hit witnesses that you reject.  According to the SBT adherents, all those 80+ witnesses got it completely backward.
Altens did say “almost simultaneously” “a fraction ahead of my picture” in his testimony to the WC but in his wire story written shortly after the events on 22Nov63 he said he heard a noise like fireworks popping and he snapped a picture of the motorcade “at about that time”. The reverberation may have affected his perception of the exact time of the noise.  The WC was suggesting that if he took his photo at the time of a shot that it was the second shot. 
His #5 photo was on Houston just after the turn at Main.

His sense of time was a bit peculiar. He thought the shots were quick but estimated the time between first and last to be “less than 30 seconds” (7 H 520).

In his 6th Floor interview he said oither agents told him that there was a shot just after he jumped off as he was running beside the QM.
He may have been concentrating on other things when he was running.

 
I suggest that the change in JFK’s head and hand beginning at z193-194 was the beginning of his reaction.

Because it did not strike bone, he may not have realized what happened and the reaction began with a realization that something was wrong.   It may be that it wasn’t until he tried to breathe about two seconds later that he began struggling to breathe. JBC may have taken about the same time or a bit less to process what he had heard and decide to turn around to see JFK.  So it doesn’t strike me as being unexpected that JBC’s visible reaction began about the time that JFK’s struggling to breathe reaction appeared.

I don’t ignore it at all.  All I am saying is that it is not a reaction to being hit in the back by a bullet. Rather it is a reaction to hearing it and preparing to turn around, which he then does.

You ignore the fact that no one said that JBC turned around after the second shot and looked rearward in the 3 seconds following the second shot before laying down?  Hint: maybe it was because he didn’t.

?? He was trying to get a look JFK, He was sitting on a  low, cramped floor-mounted jump seat. It wasn’t easy to turn around especially since JFK had moved to the left.Without a proper model of a twisted torso the best I can do is ask you to turn around like JBCis at z271 and note the positions of the edge of the right scapula, the fifth rib and the right nipple.
