@-danR The time separation between the throat, Connally, and final head shots rule out any single rifle theory. Eye witness testimony from multiple people aligns with Zapruder, in that they heard bang.....buh-bang. Connally insisted that he was not hit when Kennedy was first hit through the throat, as he was turning around to see what was going on when he heard the first gunshots and commotion in the back seat.
Then he was hit, which means single shooter obstructionists now face an impossible dilemma of explaining James Tague, the Curb, the tree, JFK’s throat, Connally’s chest, wrist, and leg, and then the final head shot that came from the front.

@jeremygilbert7190 It is physically impossible to create the wounding effects and head behavior we see in Zapruder with a rear shot. I’ve been in the field of ballistics for over 40 years now, to include funded research in both projectile behavior, terminal performance from a combat trauma management perspective with access to volumes of forensic data, and hands-on live tissue studies with animals. I have also seen people shot in the right forehead with high velocity rifle fire and was able to study post-mortem photographs of their injuries. Additionally, I have lost track of how many rifle projectiles I have watched in real-time through optics impacting hard and soft targets, as well as review of high-speed photography videos. In particular, I am especially versed in 6.5mm projectile behavior, having studied them for many years, ranging from light varmint to heavy-for-caliber high SD bullets fired from the 6.5x52, 6.5x54 Mannlicher Shoenauer, 6.5x55 Mauser, 6.5x284, 6.5 Grendel, .260 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, .264 Win Mag, and 6.5mm Rem Mag.
If someone tells you that what you see in Zapruder is from a rear entrance to JFK’s head, then they have no credibility from a terminal ballistics perspective. Additionally, the Parkland doctors all said that it was an entrance wound to his forehead/hairline with a large exit in the rear of Kennedy’s head. There literally isn’t any evidence from Zapruder or Parkland that supports a rear entrance. The Parkland doctors were threatened with loss of credentials if they wrote or talked about this. The doctor who did the threatening said he felt it was unethical to capitalize off any books or public statements about the incident.
There was way more than one witness of the men who were setting up behind the fence. Multiple rail workers and bystanders saw the men, and others saw muzzle report and smoke. Several people charged up the hill to go see who the perpetrators were, and were confronted by men posing as SS agents or police.

@jetcat132 An unidentified man in a suit and hat picked up a bullet from the South side of Elm St, and was photographed doing so. You can see photos of that.
The whole crime scene was left open to anyone and was contaminated out of the gate.
The initial FBI Report was a problem for Hoover and the WC because it established correctly at least 4 shots. They were Dallas field agents gathering raw evidence without concern for the narrative.
Once WC nailed-down only 3 spent cases and the Carcano that had to have been fired by Oswald alone, the WC staffers had major problems on their hands:
The initial story ignored James Tague entirely, but local news kept running stories on it since he was an eye witness and 3rd victim of minor GSW fragmentation, pointed out to him by a Dallas cop witness. That shot missed the limo entirely, which is odd. Even with the Carcano that couldn't be zeroed, it was about 5" right and 5" up Point of Impact at that range. If you were aiming at JFK's head, the impact would go somewhere between Nellie and Gov Connally's jump seats. If you yanked the shot low, it would impact the trunk and penetrate through Kennedy's back. Missing the car entirely is over 25 mils off target. The rifle's POI was off by ~ 2 mils right, ~2 mils up. 1 mil is 3.6" at 100yds for reference.
That forced the WC staffers to have to take the initial FBI report and invalidate it, then try to find a way to compress the 4 shots into 3.
This created 2 magic bullets, not one.
CE 399 has been the crux of endless argument for 60 years.
But the bullet that hit JFK's head is even more of a problem.
X-rays show tiny lead fragmentation in the front of his skull and residual brain matter, with a 6.5mm diameter portion of a bullet in the rear.
CE 567 and the other fragment comprise the nose and tail end of the bullet, which WC says were found in the front of the limo.
Problem is, lead showering or fragmentation happens immediately after the entrance and those fragments don't penetrate as much due to low mass.
Larger fragments and portions of the bullet penetrate deeper. The nose and tail should not be on totally opposite sides of the mid section, which was shown on X-ray to be in the rear.
Also, if the entrance was at the inferior right occipital region, the bullet shouldn't exit the R parietal side at a 90° angle, and if it had, those fragments would have flown out onto Elm St.
The totality of the evidence points to a R frontal entrance at the hairline as explained by Parkland ER doctors, with a large exit wound in the occipital region as they also described.
WC staffers like Arlen Specter had to massage all this data into 2 magic bullet theories.
This is one of the main chaffing points for 3 of the WC commissioners themselves. They just didn't believe it because they knew the evidence didn't match the conclusions.

@djf750 It is absolutely impossible for anyone in the 6th floor of the TSBD to have fired the final head shot. That was a frontal impact. I've observed terminal bullet performance for over 40 years now, to include viewing through optics, high-speed photography, military wound ballistics laboratories in the medical side, and in funded ballistics studies specific to 6.5mm. What you see in Zapruder is a frontal impact, which is exactly what the Parkland doctors said it was, with a huge exit wound in the rear (occipital region of the brain blown out).
Craig never said they found the 7.65 Mauser on the roof. He was upstairs with Boone and Captain Fritz when they found the rifle.
All of them indicated it was a 7.65 Mauser which they read on the barrel, and indicated so in their written reports. When the 6.5x52 Carcano was produced and paraded around in Dallas PD HQ, the officers were all told to amend their statements. All but Craig complied.
Craig was scheduled to testify before the Church Committee, and like many other witnesses, died a suspicious death before he could appear before Congress.

@mikev4621 So I've been involved in ballistics research, to include 5 decades of practical and professional experience in the field, with funded and published studies on the subject.
I've seen a lot of live projectile impacts through optics, high-speed photography, and extensive human and animal terminal wound ballistics.
When you watch the stabilized Zapruder film in slow-motion, you can especially see initial spalling and explosive response from the highly vascular, right frontal quadrant of the cranium that is consistent with an impact in that location.
Rifle projectiles fired at high velocity experience violent deformation on impact with a hard surface, sending some material outward radially at supersonic speed.
That blood splatter is from a frontal impact, not an exit. The observations of the ER Docs at Dallas all pointed to an entrance in the front, and a large exit wound in the rear.
With skull injuries from high velocity missiles, they don't always follow the initial bullet path either.
Due to the curved shape of the skull, any impact off-center will usually be deflected from the initial flight path. We've seen a lot of head injuries in the military and crime where impacts outside of the center 1/3 of the skull penetrate the soft tissue only, then skirt or circumscribe the skull and exit the scalp on the far side.
At closer ranges, high velocity rifle impacts almost always "canoe" or cavitate part of the skull. This is what happened to JFK. His right brain was mostly evacuated from the skull due to high velocity missile trauma.
The angle at which the shot came from could be more from the right of the motorcade, then redirect from its impact to the skull and blow out the rear. His head reaction to the left and rearward is consistent with a right frontal impact angle up to 45° from the direction of travel of vehicle.
Also, given the quick succession between the last 2 shots we can see between Governor Connally and the explosive frontal head shot on JFK, it is an absolute certainty that they were not from the same rifle. Zapruder and multiple ear witnesses confirm this definitively.

@pepp4560 If you read the 2017 document dump, there’s an FBI report with a witness saying one of the Officers on the overpass had a rifle aimed at the motorcade, and his name was J.D. Tippit. It also says Tippit was the Dallas Chapter Chairman of John Birch Society, which is interesting because General Walker was JBS. Back in April, someone tried to kill General Walker. WC hung that around Oswald’s head posthumously, with statements from George de Mohrenschildt and Marina to back that claim. George de Mohrenschildt was former OSS-gone-CIA, born in Czarist Russia, and knew CIA Agent George H.W. Bush at the time. Before George de Mohrenschildt was to testify before the HASC in the 1970s, he reached out to CIA Director Bush asking for help, since he and his wife were being followed, wire-tapped, and harassed mercilessly. Bush responded with a letter saying he looked into the matter and couldn’t help him. George de Mohrenschildt then was found dead of a self-inflicted GSW.
The 2017 document dump has some major bombshells in it.

@jeremygilbert7190 The problem isn’t what the bullet did after it hit Connally, but what it did before. There is a clear time separation between JFK’s throat injury and Connally being hit. Connally was adamant about this too, that at least one shot had already been fired that hit JFK, which caused him to turn around and look in the back seat to see what was happening. THEN he was hit, like a hammer to the back. Then JFK was hit in the front of the head, clearly visibly by the spalling of his forehead/hairline and rearward movement of his head to the projectile momentum.
Then you have the bullet that supposedly ricocheted off a tree limb, hit the curb, hit a pillar under the overpass, and fragmented into James Tague’s cheek. That’s a bare minimum of 4 bullets, at leas one of which was fired from the front at the motorcade. There is no need to get lost in the terminal ballistics of Connally, though it is interesting from a purely forensic perspective.

In one of the residences, one of the characters named Oswald had some .303 Enfield rifle cartridge boxes, a spotting scope, pace counter, multiple cameras including a Minox spy camera, compass, flashlight, and Fair Play for Cuba communist pamphlets.
There were several Oswalds though who lived in Dallas and New Orleans, with trips to Florida, Cuba, and Mexico City after the Oswald we think we know returned from defecting to the Soviet Union.

@mikev4621 When a high velocity rifle projectile impacts a hard surface that also has soft tissue attached to it, you will see explosive effects of spalling at the point of impact, especially one so vascular as the face and head.
In Zapruder, we see 90° spalling of blood and facial matter from the POI. You just don't see 90° spatter from exits. You might see 30° splatter from exits.
For a lightly-constructed bullet, such as those used for varmints, this effect is even more pronounced.
Watch video of varmint shooting and you see outwardly-explosive terminal effects.
With frontal impact of a high velocity projectile to one hemisphere of the skull, left or right, if the skull is penetrated, we typically see that hemisphere cavitated and terribly disfigured, with significant destruction and fragmentation of that side of the skull and brain. Brain matter is displaced and ejected from the skull normally in such a scenario, which is exactly what happened to JFK's skull and brain.
The projectile, which is typically spinning at over 200,000rpm, sheds some of the jacket as it impacts the skin and skull, with the thin copper jacket exploding into tiny pieces.
The lead core, no longer held together by the jacket, fragments and splatters along a wound path generally aligned with the bullet flight path, though it may redirect due to bone and soft tissue resistance/shaping.
The core is also spinning at over 200,000rpm before it travels through the medium.
There is a tremendous amount of force entering the target with both directional energy along the bullet flight path, as well as rotational energy.
The scalp tends to hold together very well and is surprisingly tough, so it will often drape or fill in voids where the skull used to be.
The Parkland doctors all said there was a large exit wound in the occipital region of JFK's skull. People with no real A&P knowledge have tried to manipulate a strange narrative about this, saying the Parkland doctors didn't know what they were looking at, which is incredible. These are all guys with extensive hands-on experience with human anatomy & physiology, to include hundreds of gun shot wounds.

@alexsouthpb55 When you look at Zapruder in slow motion and listen to Connally's testimony, JFK had already been shot before Connally was hit, so the angles and jump seat relative to Kennedy's seat don't matter.
It forces the analysis to account for:
1. Bullet deflected off a tree, as indicated by WC.
2. Bullet deflected off a curb.
3. Bullet deflected off the overpass pillar.
4. James Tague's cheek injury from a bullet fragment.
5. Bullet through JFK's throat.
6. Bullet through Connally's chest, wrist, and left leg.
7. Bullet through JFK's head, which came from the front.
WC says 1-4 are the same bullet, which isn't plausible, but let's give it to them and still see if it works. That's 1 round performing unrealistically, requiring suspension of disbelief.
Next is one through JFK's throat. Parkland Doctors all said it was an entrance in the front. Let's say they got it wrong and it's a weird type of exit that pulls the epidermis inward instead of leaving an outward, more ragged exit as you would expect.
That's #2 per WC.
Next is the bullet that hit Connally like a hammer, WC says through his back, chest, wrist, then landed in his left leg.
That's #3.
Then we have the final head shot, #4, which came from the front.
The lone gunman theory of Oswald firing 3 shots in close succession has already fallen apart with the round that perforated Connally.
In totality of the forensic evidence, we're looking at multiple shooters, at least 2 of the shots having come from the front.
We also have the Canadian photographer from Toronto's very detailed photo of the 6th floor window that he said contained 2 men, which vanished after he dropped it off to be developed.
Ruby Henderson, another eye witness, saw two men on the 6th floor of the TSBD, one with a light-colored shirt or jacket, the other with dark complexion and a dark/dull worker's type shirt.
Carolyn Walker also saw two men on the 6th floor, one with a light colored shirt/jacket, the other with a dark shirt, dark complexion, and a rifle.
The FBI tried to make her believe the dark shirt was a box.
Inmates in the jail across the Plaza with direct line-of-sight to the 6th floor TBSD said they saw 2 men, who they thought were security for the motorcade. Johnny L. Powell saw two men on the 6th floor of the TSBD "fooling around with a scope on a rifle". They had "darker complexion than whites", one wearing a light-colored shirt, the other wearing a darker brown work uniform.
None of them saw anybody that matched Oswald's photos.
