When a head explodes...blood blows all over the place.
Plus the limo was moving open aired...who knows exactly where blood will go.
I'm not saying I'd bet my life that a shot came from the Grassy Knoll...but I think it did.
It didn't hit the grass behind the limo either. That is where your "think" fails. It was not in his head. There was no exit wound, and there was no continued travel of the bullet. It evaporated.ConcordCowboy;3887885 said:It didn't hit Jackie because she was leaning forward in from of him trying to talk/see what was wrong with him.

That is what you believe if you believe the shot that killed Kennedy came from the knoll.
That is the real "magic bullet."
In the car, no way they get there from the knoll.CowboyDan;3888029 said:No matter where the 3rd bullet came from, it was never found. Only fragments.

Sorry about that.Hoofbite;3887890 said:You know a little too much about blood splatter.........
Got a few skeletons in your closet?
I have never fired a bolt action that took longer than a half second to chamber a round if you are looking to shoot fast.Anjinsan;3888090 said:No, but I've shot several bolt action rifles where the action takes much longer to operate than the Carcano.

Here's one of the endearing mysteries of the assassination for me. What happened to Jackie's hat? It has never been found to my knowledge. Some nurse was reported to have had it at the hospital but she doesn't remember what she did with it. On Air Force 1 she wasn't wearing it and it was never seen again.
Her blood stained outfit is in the National Archives, but not for public view as far as I know. I think that is sad. Maybe people think it is too gory an image. I think it is too important an object to be hidden.
I had never seen that before. Interesting that he thinks he turned left, when the film shows right. He also thought different shots hit him and the President but we know it was the same shot.Aikmaniac;3888112 said:Governor Connally interview excerpt from 11/27/63 for those interested.

Operation of any bolt action rifle also has a lot to do with how tight the bolt action is in the rifle. Some are worn and do not operate as smoothly as they should. At least, that's what I have experienced.
CowboyWay;3888145 said:I worked at a place that Oswald had applied for a job for, just a couple of months prior to the assasination. On the application which was had written by oswald, someone had made a notation after they interviewed him and this is exactly what it said......."Supervisor (I won't mention his name) does not recommend this man because of his communistic tendencies"......
They still have the application there, and it is really weird to see it in person.
On another side note, I worked with a man who was on the jury for the Ruby case, and he tells me to this day that he, and none of the other jurors felt that anyone other than Ruby had anything to do with his actions.
Personally, I think the Mob was behind it all. They got JFK elected, and to thank them, his brother goes after them. They don't take too kindly to that.
