JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: When Was JBC Hit?
« Last post by Andrew Mason on July 23, 2026, 01:14:05 AM »Those 25 witnesses evidently mistook the "backfire-like" sound of Oswald's first shot at "Z-124" as a backfire, a firecracker, or maybe even a blowout.And, apparently, these 25 witnesses never twigged to it being the first shot even after hearing two more - which they then realized were shots. And most of them still recalled 3 shots but never thought the first noise was a shot..... You are joking, right?

That, coupled with the fact that JFK's "startle reaction" was undoubtedly too subtle to be observable, the fact that his and Jackie's conscious head turning around Z-139 evoked their inquisitiveness, if anything, and the fact that the first shot missed everything, led them to mistakenly believe that Oswald's second shot around Z-222 was his first one -- for the simple reason that JFK's and JBC's reactions were quite noticeable only after they were both wounded by CE-399.You are using a circular argument. You are using your conclusion that an early shot occurred to explain what you think is a subtle "startle reaction" of JFK and Jackie's very slight head turn farther to the left and then using those reactions to bolster your argument that there was an early missed shot. You need evidence that a first shot occurred there first. And the problem you have (as Dan O'Meara has also been explaining) is that all the evidence - literally several dozen witnesses - is completely inconsistent with an early missed first shot.
