Yes re Lattimer's tests. All of that iz in my thread re the lapel flip.
And, there iz no bulge & no flip unless the slug yaws before it hits Connally.
Which confirms the SBT.
Anyone (eg wecht) that duznt see that the SBT iz true in less than one day must hav a mental disorder (or 2 ovem)(or more).
And i did my own analysis of zapruder re jiggle, in the same thread i think.
My jiggle measurements contradicted others'.
I looked at jiggle in all of the zapruder footage. I karnt remember the rezults. But there woz no useful jiggle at about Z312.

Of course there would be no jiggle at Z312. In each case the jiggle would occur AFTER the bullet struck. The muzzle velocity of the Carcano was roughly twice the speed of sound so the bullet would hit the target before the sound reached Zapruder's ears. The headshot would have been fired at or about Z311. The sound of the head shot would have reached Zapruder's ears at or about Z315. The jiggle occurred at Z318. That would mean Zapruder's startle reaction occurred about 3 frames after the sound of the shot reached him. Seems about right to me.

Anything which duznt accord with my timelines iz wrong.
Some witness etc statements etc partly accord.
One hazta weigh the facts/statements. One haztahav a good BS meter. I made zero errors...

...that you know of.

Yes, one has to weigh facts and statements. The problem which you don't seem to recognize is that statements are not always entirely correct. In fact, more often than not they are at least partly wrong. Someone else could weigh the same factors and reach an entirely different conclusion and both could be plausible. What you are calling facts are simply your conclusions based on evidence. That doesn't mean they are facts. You might want to apply that BS meter to your own conclusions. On second thought, let me do that for you, step by step. What follows are some of your assertions.

"Oswald gets to the 2nd floor after 48 sec.  He stops."
What is your evidence Oswald stopped? I look at the same evidence and it seems to me Oswald never stopped but when he heard Truly and Baker coming up the stairs and immediately ducked into the lunchroom. Both your scenario and mine are plausible and neither of us can prove we are right.

"He hears Adams & Styles klomping down the stairs in a real hurry on a mission."
What is your evidence he heard them coming down the stairs or that they were even on the stairs at the same time he was? Sounds like an assumption to me.

"They pass. He comes back out. What to do next?
He can't decide.  He will be less conspicuous if he takes the front stairs, but he would then have to walk back into & throo the storage area to get his jacket in the Domino Room.
He decides to continue down the back stairs.
He makes a start but then Truly hollers up the elevator shaft, so he goes back up.
Then he hears Baker & Truly galloping up the stairs, & he retreats to the coke machine a second time.
He walks slow & cool."
How could you possibly know what Oswald thinking at the time? Let me answer that for you. You can't. You are making assumptions about things that are not in evidence. They might sound good to you, but they are anything but established facts. I have no reason to believe Oswald ever hesitated once he reached the second floor. My reading of the evidence is he immediately ducked into the lunchroom upon hearing Truly and Baker coming up the stairs and at no time came backout the same way he went in. My reading of the evidence is that as soon as Baker and Truly left, he bought a Coke and then headed for the front stairs through Mrs. Reid's office. Again, I can't prove my scenario is the correct one any more than you can.

"But just in case more dumb cops are entering along the corridor he goes via the office.
Damn, he meets Jeraldean Reid as she returns to her desk"
We both agree he exited through Reid's office. You are the only one pretending to know what he was thinking at the time which is something you couldn't possibly know.

"Ok, things aint so bad, praps he can take a chance & get his jacket from the Domino Room anyhow.
Hmmm – he can get his jacket by going out the front door & down the steps & around & entering via the Houston dock (like he does each morning), & walking 16 paces to the jacket."
What evidence do you have that Oswald was the least bit concerned about getting his jacket from the Domino Room? Another big assumption on your part with no supporting evidence. You simply assumed it. 

"So, off he goes, but he gets a little ways up Houston & he sees Officer Barnett on sentry duty at the dock, & Barnett looks vicious.
So, a quick U-turn & back down Houston.  Buell Frazier sees him walking south along Houston."
This one is a doozy. What evidence do you have that Oswald went down Houston at all after leaving via the front door? What evidence do you have that he saw Officer Barnett? What evidence do you have that Barnett looked vicious? What evidence do you have that Oswald did a U-turn? Finally, what evidence do you have that Frazier saw Oswald walking south on Houston? I just reviewed his WC testimony. Houston is mentioned 10 times. The first time he was speaking of the city of Houston. All the others were in reference to how he and Oswald arrived at the TSBD that morning. No mention of Oswald or Houston post assassination. Now if you know of another source which indicates Frazier saw Oswald on Houston following the assassination, please provide that. Otherwise we can just assume you made all of this up.

Newsflash.  I posted the incontrovertible evidence of the liquefied steel at Ground Zero on my 9/11 Science 101 thread, referenced above.

You've proved squat, doctor, and you're getting schooled left and right on this thread by people who actually understand and respect science. Now please go away forever? As you can see, nobody is interested in your 9/11 baloney here.

Most of what you are arguing is based on time frames for which there is no reliable source. Nobody was running a stopwatch on 11/22/63 so we don't know how long it actually took anybody to move from point A to point B. You could do ten reenactments and it still isn't going to prove anything. All the approximations can do is show what is possible, not how long it actually took anybody to move the distances they did. You also have no way of knowing how the various actions sync up with one another. We simply don't have the data to do that. You've constructed a scenario you believe fits within the established parameters. Due to the variables involved, there are hundreds of ways to construct a scenario that would fit within the parameters equally well. You are also making assumptions about Oswald's mindset at various times. It's OK to speculate as long as we don't treat our speculations as established facts.

Here's what we do know. Oswald reached the lunchroom before Truly and Baker reached the second floor landing. It is impossible to say precisely how long after the third shot it took any of the three men to reach the second floor landing. We can only approximate that. For reasons stated in my previous post, it is likely Oswald entered the lunchroom just seconds before Truly and Baker reached the second floor landing. That is my speculation but it is speculation based on what we know is true. Oswald entered the lunchroom before Truly and Baker reached the landing and did so seconds before Baker spotted him because if it had been longer, the inner door would have closed behind him and Baker could not have spotted him.
Anything which duznt accord with my timelines iz wrong.
Some witness etc statements etc partly accord.
One hazta weigh the facts/statements. One haztahav a good BS meter. I made zero errors.
I feel sure that i will never hav to change one word of my timeline.
My timeline iz the only one that works, & will work for ever.
And its not az fixed az u might think.
For example, if u convince me that Baker & Co took an extra 15 seconds to get to the lunchroom then my timeline can accommodate that by adding 15 seconds to Oswald's trajektory.
Hmmm.... i notice that i hav not explained what happened to the (empty?)(partly full) bottle of coke. When/where did Oswald dump it? Could Oswald hav gotten 5 cents for the bottle. Woz there a bottle centre near Tippitt? I will be back.

I find it interesting that Lattimer tested that. I've long hypothesized that there could be a brief time lag between the single bullet passing through JFK and JBC and JBC's jacket bulging out and wished that somebody would test that hypothesis. Now you are saying that had been done. I am surprised at how much lag time you and Lattimer believe there was, but I don't dispute it. 

I don't think we can assign precision to these tests because of the variables. Did Lattimer fire a shot directly through the jacket? If so, it would be pristine and meet much less resistance by the jacket as it passed through the material. The single bullet was not pristine as it exited JFK's throat. It began yawing immediately and based on the shape of the entrance wound on JBC's back, the axis of the bullet would have been almost perpendicular to the flight. It likely would have had a similar orientation when passing through the front of JBC's jacket. A pristine bullet, i.e. one that is not yawing, is going to meet little resistance when passing through a soft object. I have shot empty aluminum cans with my .44 Magnum and they don't even budge. My layman's opinion is that the more yaw, the more resistance a bullet will be met with. The more resistance, the quicker we would expect to see the jacket bulge. Again, this is my hypothesis, but I lack the means to test it out.

To me, the best indication of the time each shot was fired is the jiggle we see in Zapruder's film following each shot. Because the distance from Oswald's rifle to Zapruder's ears was a constant for all three shots, we should expect a similar time lag between shot and jiggle for all three shots. Let's start with the third shot since that is the easiest to pinpoint. A bullet striking JFK's head at Z313 would have taken about 2 frames to travel the 88 yards from Oswald to JFK. That would mean the shot was fired at Z311, followed by a severely blurred frame at Z318. That gives us a baseline of 7 frames between the shot being fired and Zapruder's involuntary response. If we apply that to the second shot, we see a blurring at Z227. Working back 7 frames would indicate a shot fired at Z220, close to what you and Lattimer have hypothesized. If we apply that to when I think the first shot was fired, we see a bad blurring at Z158 which would equate to a shot at Z151.

We need to recognize the limitations of our time piece which is Zapruder's camera. When I say there would be a 7 frame lag between the firing of the shot and Zapruder's reaction, that is an approximation. Even if that figure is a constant for all three shots, there's no reason to assume that number is going to be an integer. In fact, most likely it is not. Maybe it is 6.74 frames or maybe it is 7.31 frames or any number near 7. We would need to conduct a test using a camera capable of thousands of frames per second to determine a more precise lag time between shot and reaction. The best we can do with what we have is calculate an approximation, accurate to with 1/18 of a second.

Dear Royell,

Unlike you, I've got the basics right:

Lee Harvey Oswald, a psychologically disturbed, self-described Marxist and former Marine sharpshooter, fired three shots at JFK over 10.2 seconds in the echo chamber known as Dealey Plaza. The first shot, a steeply-downward-angled one at "Z-124," missed everything and may have left a mark / divot in the asphalt very close to where JFK was at the time -- which mark is visible in a Secret Service reenactment film. Oswald's second shot, at approximately Z-222, struck JFK in the lower-neck / upper-back and, until it fell out inside Parkland Hospital, was shallowly embedded in JBC's right thigh. The only hard bone it hit in the two men was the radial bone in JBC's right wrist which it sideswiped while twirling. Oswald's third shot hit JFK in the back of the head and caused it to go downward and forward about two inches between Zapruder frames 312 and 313.

Police Officer Cop Officer Marrion Baker, after parking his motorcycle on Elm Street near the concrete "island," surveying the scene, and hearing Chief Curry say over the radio to get men onto the triple underpass, entered the TSBD about 35 seconds after the final shot, and he and Roy Truly were confronting Oswald inside the vestibule of the second-floor lunchroom when Vicki Adams and Sandra Styles, who were in the process of coming down from the fourth floor, were quickly walking from one stairwell to the other in the N-W corner of said floor.

While running to the TSBD steps, William Shelley and Billy Lovelady, who had intercepted Shelley's friend, Gloria Calvery, at-or-near the "island," were "captured" in Couch-Darnell as they were beginning to walk towards the railway yard / parking lot.

Several witnesses either saw Oswald shoot Police Officer Cop Officer J. D. Tippit or saw him running away from the scene with a pistol in his hand, and he tried to kill at least one other police officer cop officer while he was being arrested in the Texas Theater.

Case Closed.

With respect to your three girls ID, how can Anyone rely on Anything you post when you are continually throwing crapola out there? Please just do the required JFK Assassination Research and stop embarrassing any others being burdened with this same surname. I look at my friend The Nutty Professor as being a JFK Assassination Thomas Edison. He is gonna continually try his own 100+ light bulb filaments in an attempt to "scientifically" solve any JFK Assassination issue at hand. You? You just throw xx out onto this forum. Again, please just do the research and broaden your JFK Assassination Foundation.

...to your satisfaction.

   We now have Officer Baker pictured with Lovelady just outside the TSBD front door. At the same time, we also have the 2 Guys standing outside of the "getaway" car. Only 20 seconds after the Kill Shot, there is just 1 place these 2 Guys could have come from to be pictured alongside the car. They were previously inside the car. The Couch Film shows these "2 Guys" immediately after they exited the car. They are in the process of quickly distancing themselves from it. This now abandoned "getaway" car would remain abandoned there for 3+ Hrs following the Kill Shot.

So you don't think Baker could be in the same location at two different times.

Still waiting for your proof the car was a getaway car.

     Baker is pictured with Lovelady. Lovelady is standing very close to the TSBD front door. At this same time, the 2 Guys are pictured standing alongside the car. This means that it is impossible for 1 of these 2 guys to be Lovelady. And the Lovelady ID on that still frame is very solid. This man not only looks like Lovelady, but that man is in almost the same position that Lovelady is in on the Altgens Photo.
    The car being a "getaway" car traces back to the Wiegman Film NOT SHOWING a car parked alongside the Island, several feet back from the corner. This means this car was traveling down the Elm St Extension as Wiegman filmed the area around the Island. The car was traveling down the Elm Ext while shots were being fired at JFK. The car parked alongside the Island inside a clearly posted, "NO PARKING At Any Time" zone. After the 2 Guys inside the car bolted, that car sat parked there for 3+ Hrs after the kill shot. This car moving down the Elm St Ext while shots were being fired, and then parking in a "NO PARKING..." zone was well planned. I believe this "getaway" car was intended for the shooting team inside the sniper's nest.
