At this point, what difference does it make?

And what is your conclusion?

Really? I find that fascinating because I’ve had about the same experience and for about the same number of years and with melons and so forth.

But you’d have to put a melon on some kind of spring or something to behave as the neck. But aside from that, with the ballistics experts that show bullet tracts through that jell-o stuff on TV, the bullet does more damage if it tumbles, hasn’t gone through something solid or partially solid first and so on, but even those don’t simulate a head moving attached to a neck and body, they are just big blocks of Jell-O sitting on some kind of table or something.

In reality, if Oswald shot him 3 times, the third (kill)shot would have gone through the back of his head and splatter would have gone all over Conally, not Jackie. and I’m reasonably certain that his head/body would have snapped forward.

Wow. What film are you watching? The only movement the head makes is a snap backwards and to the left, then he slumps towards Jackie.

Oswald definitely did it. The only question is why? It certainly didn’t further soviet interests

Oswald had transferred his allegiance to Cuber. I believe he killed Kennedy to impress Castro.

Like I said in the post I actually made to you, show me the equations.

Physics is a science, and the observations you've scene that are different from mine just prove my point.

Kennedy's head reaction to the third shot was exactly what I would expect from a shot from behind blowing out a chunk of his skull just above his eye socket.

Kennedy chickened out at the Bay of Pigs and refused the air support the invasion needed for its success when the popular support for the invasion didn’t immediately appear. His cowardice invited the soviet missiles.

The tactical issues aside, Kennedy was made to back down on the world stage. That was the finger in the eye the soviets wanted.

Youre asking for logic from a limited mind but he simply may not have the comfort for the shot in his eyes. I believe he certainly made the shots so his choice of vantage was good enough

When any two people know anything in Washington it's a conspiracy.

Shall I believe the Warren Commission Report and the “Oswald Was The Lone Gunman” finding or the Zapruder Film and my lying eyes?

I have some as well....Why would not the Warren Commission take Ruby to Washington to testify? Why did no one on the Commission except Warren see the autopsy photos? Why did 50 people, including cops, immediately run to the grassy knoll? What happened to JFK's brain and why did it happen?

Qui bono? Oswald was allowed to leave SU because he was that type of disillusioned useful idiot communists are afraid of the most. I mean an insane leftist who has tasted a fruit of real socialist paradise and didn’t like it. It made sense to expel his wife as well, because she could be influenced by his agitation on Soviet regime.
There wasn’t any communist interest to kill Kennedy. He was a kind of Obama of his time, adjusted to his era. Khruschev and Castro routinely played him for the fool and took every advantage the Putin and Chinese does to Zero.

I agree. a weakling like JFK was a soviet wet dream. LHO was just another stooge marxist who was trying to become famous and important. In an odd way he did.

I have also read almost everything published about the events in Dallas that day. After doing so, I’m much more disturbed by the events that followed over the following years pointing to a massive coverup by our government. Hundreds of strange and convenient deaths involving all sorts of people who might have had knowledge that had to be silenced. I hold LBJ responsible along with Hoover, the C.I.A. and Nixon for what happened that day. Oswald was set up as a fall guy without his knowledge, then killed to cover it up. Read everything available and this is what you conclude.

LOL

My head’s fine.

Oswald did it, alone, and there is no evidence that states otherwise. What IS otherwise stated? Fables, fairy tales, conjecture, baseless speculation and meaningless oddities and anecdotes that are clumsily stitched together to make something appear to be there.......that isn’t there.

It’s a very, very simple and very uncomplicated case. You’re wasting yours and others time by making it otherwise.

Not true. His head initially goes forward for an instant. His chin then impacts his chest and can go no further forward at that point. Clearly visible looking at the film frame by frame.

Except now you’ll leap to: “Well, the film was tampered with!”

Then after that, something else, and after that.....

Right? :)

Here’s an article for you. You & Stone need to get a place together. He made millions off his fable like the dirty dog he is and he is still peddling fantasy in this article. It’s laughable as his points in the article have been directly and completely refuted ten years ago if not more.

Good one! Obviously a coup by the mob and LBJ! and others...duhhh! How any conservative can be so gullible as to not see this and defend their stupidity to the death is truly sad.

something like 65 people “mysteriously” were killed shortly after the assassination..imagine that...and the body was ILLEGALLY whisked away from the hospital shortly after death..imagine that. I guess all of those people just also imagined those shots and even ducked...imagine that! Come on man..wake up!
