  • look at the zapruder film;during the 7 or so frames you can't see the president in THIS film, after he waves, he puts both of his hands up to his throat, conally had turned around in his seat and was facing him, and jackie puts one hand on his arm and one on his shoulder.it almost looks as if they think he's choking. now go find the official autopsy pics. the wound in the back exited the front in the exact place he puts his hands up to right before the head shot.

  • A lot of people don't understand JFK's background. JFK was a WWII veteran; therefore you can assume that he knew the difference between a sound firtecracker and a sound of a rifle shot.

  • I think Kennedy was just reacting when he leaned to his left so he could wave to the crowd.....what you call a fist may just be him waving with his fingers. No other reaction in the Limo is I think very telling. By Kennedy's reaction to the first shot, it looks to me like it was a front shot. Just my opinion...

  • 1. Oswald was given a job in what would eventually become the sniper's nest well in advance of the assassination. In effect, the target was brought to him, rather than seeking out the target.

    2. The motorcade route was deliberately changed from going directly toward the freeway, to making a sharp right turn, slowing down to less than 10 mph, then another sharp left turn in front of the Book Depository, all against Secret Service regs.

    3. No Secret Service on rooftops, or rear bumper of limo!

  • Im getting suspicous about Jackie... she might have had something to do with his murder? ;(

  • this guy will never make it as a documentary host! He should have had someone else narrate this!

  • I like how during this alleged "reaction" by JFK to a gunshot, Jackie and everyone else is completely stoic... what a hilariously stupid video

  • Actually, Braden was a very short distance away from the Ambassador Hotel, in LA, when RFK was shot. The LAPD dragnetted the area around the hotel right after the shooting and who did they find, Braden, maybe just a coincidence? Read this through on a Freedom of Information website.

  • Very thought provoking. This is the first time that I've seen this film of the limo's left hand turn with the frames destroyed by the FBI, doubters would have come up with something by now to refute this altering of evidence. That Braden was a very mysterious and busy individual with an arrest record a mile long. Thought that I read somewhere that he was also involved with the LA mob. Didn't Braden also visited HL Hunt's office, which had a very good view of Dealey Plaza? Something stinks here.

  • In the autopsy they showed they show him in the back when he grabbed his throat. Clearly some people don't know what autopsies are for.

  • The Braden example was the most compelling. But that muffled gunfire example was too long and totally ridiculous. Those window shadows are beyond stretching for evidence. It seems that every possible shadow indicates another assassin's positions. There had to have been a thousand such assassins in Dealy Plaza that day.

  • The workings of a lonely mind.

  • why does your mug need to be on the screen?

  • When you are waving at a crowd to the right, it makes sense to dip your left shoulder. This would be especially true for people with thoracic or lumbar back pain.

  • I wish that more attention was given to the other buildings, as you have done. I also think that the FBI knew that there was a second shooter before Kennedy's body reached Washington, D.C. later that evening.

  • Does this mindset come from being lonely? Who has time to make up a ridiculous scenario like this? Why would it even be worth the time? I believe that even if someone admitted that they shot Kennedy some would create a video like this to refute it! CRAZINESS.

  • you all know what the true is, what is holding you back fear?

  • This is totally idiotic. WHY? Absolutely no physical evidence other than to match LHO's rifle with bullets & fragments recovered form Conolly & JFK. This hypothesis is dummb, just plain dumb.

  • @72RocknRoll "It is the mark of an educated mind when one is able to entertain an idea without accepting it" -Aristotle

  • You seem to think the President was shot right as the limo turned around the corner. If you look at the Zapruder film, the President can be seen waving (and even smiling in high quality versions) seconds before what most believe to be the first shot. If he was shot before all this, making him lean over and clench his fist like you believe, I doubt he would continue to wave and smile.

  • get a real job bob.the window had the loch ness monster,lassie,elvis presley,and martians. prove me wrong bob.stevie wonder could have better evidence than this

  • Who was occupying the room on the third floor?

  • @Patriotsurvivalist0 your daddy

  • President Kennedy suffered from severe chronic back pain. Raising his arm and waiving triggered that pain, which could have caused him to clench his fist and flinch in pain.

  • BOOORING!

    oh i mean Intersting

  • Hi. Interesting clip, but if you're saying that JFK was hit or winged by a bullet as his car was still turning on to Elm, then how do you account for the fact that he resumed waving when he was further down Elm Street?

  • @endeckerBM EXACTLY.

  • he did not try to coff up a bullet he had a hawthorn reflex he got shot 2 times once in the neck an once in the head retards

  • You sound like Andy Rooney

  • cont,, Most important, Bill Newmans head is not visible during head shot. Z went to WFAA to do damage control after Newmans told their story. They were closest and on the side where the shot entered, but were ignored. How could he have a better view looking through a view finder out of range? Why was he out of range? On the block where he was, the men behind the fence were in plane view. If he were not there, someone else may have been and witnessed them. 30 min early and out of range??

  • Everyone is basing their opinions of the shooting on Zapruders film. It's in accurate as it was meant to be. Misinformation, the governments specialty. If you compare it to photos and other videos, it does not match. Altgens photo is not found in any frame with the bike on the right close to Kennedy. The shooter is in the photo as well in the second floor window at fire escape landing. Both shots missed hitting windshield and trim. Throat wound came in Croft photo sooner than in Z film.

  • If you watch the other videos, you will see JFK react and then Jackie reacts. She tries to help him and then the frontal shot happens. At that time Jackie begins to climb out of the seat onto the back of the car.

  • 1: If your an assassin and your target is as high-importance as a president of a country... why would you bother your employer with information he will find out. Anyone stupid enough to do that deserves to be caught.

    2: they wouldnt need to cut the blinds, All the guy has to do is open them enough to poke the barel out of. Maybe break 1 of the blinds above the barel to use his scope(if he used one)

    I'm not poopooing your theory but I don't belive any assassin would be so clumsy.

  • @CatsBass Cutting or breaking even just a few of the blinds does not give enough room for the rifle barrel plus line of vision with the scope attached, Not to mention the direction, speed and position of the target.That would be an impossible shot.

  • @November10th1775USMC difficult* not impossible.

  • @SniprWoW If the target was staying still it would of been Difficult, With it moving it would of been impossible, the blinds would of gotten in the way.

  • yes

  • How come no one else in the vehicle reacts?

  • 1.44 middle of the picture looks like a heart

  • @StSimonMartyr Spot on Mate. they even got rid of thier own government Leaders.

  • Interesting stuff.

  • @jaroncreed mother was mixed with what?

  • I never noticed the President's reaction until the presenter pointed it out, Nice job -- and the film splice is pretty interesting too, Look at how crucial films that were "damaged" at precise, significant moments! Zapruder, Nix, etc. -- an amazing coincidence? I doubt it.

  • I have studied a little on this subject and I cant see the conspirecy in it. If I got it right, the thought is that there was more than one shooter, but the two shots that hit JFK could easily be from Oswalds position. Im not an expert so please correct me but what am I missing? Ive heard that the guy that killed oswald was injcted cancer somehow to make him die lol come on people.

  • The window wouldve been impossible due to the angle of the initial bullets impact. He was shot in the front of the face, not the back of the head.

  • Most snipers use gun that were crafter during WW2, by the early sixties those same guns were easily adaptable to silencers. Hoover hated the Kennedy's. He knew it was going to happen and let it happen. What did everyone get after that? Lyndon BLOW JOB Johnson!

  • Oswald tried for Walker, a much easier target and missed. He might have TRIED to kill Kennedy that day but he missed. Parts of the side walk were dug up because I guy complained concrete "flecks" hit him in the face! If you want red to pick a sniper to kill JFK, wtf would you select a nut job like Oswald? Why not pay a few grand, like the mafia could do and hire a pro, who never misses.

  • Mysterious planet are heading to Dallas later in the year on a research trip, they will probably spend most of their time in Jack Ruby's strip club put hopefully get to Dealey Plaza at some point.

  • @Moontv An how do you back up that statement. You can't just go on youtube saying things without back up :)

  • As the limo first turns from Main onto Houston St, doesn't JFK lean forward then recline back into his seat with a grin as he turns to Jackie? Also, no one in the crowd or in the limo reacts to any shots. Lastly, Tina Towner's father said that the first shot occurred at the same time of his photo of the limo near the road sign and that the sound actually caused him to flinch and press the shutter. Some of you info is very well thought out and presented, but not so much this one.

  • Since President Kennedy suffered from chronic back pain all his life, isn't it possible that the car just jolted, and he got a bad back twinge. His wife doesnt seem to react at all.

  • @TheChristopheranton1 No. There's medical evidence from the autopsy that he was initially shot in the shoulder before being shot in the head. Google it.

  • @dancerchic914

    But, why then doesnt his wife react at all to a gun shot ??? Her reaction, to what ever it was, gun shot or not, is very strange if i watch it again and again.

  • @blomaborn

    and you can see her strange reaction very clearly in this video

    watch?v=iU83R7rpXQY&feature=re­lated

  • @TheChristopheranton1 but at the same time JK is clutching his neck, the guy in front of him is holding his wrist in pain as it 2 was struck by the assassin's bullet.

  • @TheChristopheranton1 I can't believe you have thumbs up. He grabbed his throat. They shot him in the back. That's why you have autopsies.

  • @TheChristopheranton1 okay, but a bullet went through him and the guy in front of him...

  • @TheChristopheranton1 I agree. If he had been shot or shots were heard, Jackie would turn to him instantly. She does no such thing. So to me, that point is pure speculation.

  • @TheChristopheranton1 --- ya then his fucking head was ripped open and his brains were spilled across the back of a car... fuck that, fuck you, get some respect

  • @TheChristopheranton1 6:47 - that dude's got clown eyebrows 6:47

  • if he got shot then why did he keep waving for so long after

  • Fidel Castro wanted the hit, that's why Oswald wanted to go to Cuba via Mexico City. He was refused and lost it mentally, and was kicked out of Mexico for being weird. So the Mob who had ties to Castro, set it up for Oswald. As soon as Oswald took the head shot to Kennedy, everyone split to leave Oswald to fend for himself. That's why he said he was a "Patsy".

  • LBJ has JFK killed, it's known fact now.

  • @banditobandito22 Mr. Harris explanation as to why JFK pulled his hand back is not as important as the fact JFK did quickly pull his hand back, clenched his fist and leaned into the middle of the car. JFK reacted to "something" and this is the question - why?

  • @bikermandandy121 Oswald's fingerprints were not on the rifle when first tested by the Dallas Police Department. After Oswald's death the FBI found his "palm" print.

    Check the record. There is significantly more evidence that would supported a "not guilty" verdict if Oswald had lived to be tried.

  • @dejhaley ...and Oswald, having been checked for gunpowder residue by the FBI, was proven to have not fired a weapon that day at all.

  • @banditobandito22

    Talking about crap bandit, it is apparent judging by your comments that you are one yourself.

  • Hi Bob, look I've said it before and i'll say it again. Your research and findings may not be to everyones liking, but until the Govenor or the Attorney General of Texas reopens that muder - it will always be a source of controvercy. Your work is of great importance keep up the good work...DP

  • And That's Why Noone Went To Watch J. Edgar At The Theater ;D

  • nice analysis subscribed

  • whatever tampering was done by the FBI was done on the orders of J,Edgar Hoover who was no friend of the Kennedy's to the extent that he may well have had a vested interest in 'bending' the evidence.

  • By the way sir thankyou for your insight and diligent work on this. Yousba mighta be ona soumtin. Lol. Serious tho stellar investigating. I never knew a piece of film was missing AND on the Zap film too??? I'm gonna barf now

  • he should have died because they was not helping black people any ways

  • I CANNOT believe, to this day, people still are gullible to belive that Oswald assassinated JFK. Tragic.

  • The photo at 3:45 has newer cars in it.

  • I was playing search and destroy on highrise and I did some random no scope and got a head shot +1000, at first I was like wtf how did I get that, next thing it was all over the news.

  • But it wasn`t was it... the didn´t find a suppressor with the gun !!??

  • ... my epic sniping shot

  • Why don't you talk about the giant gliche in the Towner footage where a big piece was removed? Is it a coincidence that the Zap footage has the same edit? Maybe its too obvious.

  • Wow!! I think you broke the case wide open!!

  • right ok, im 14 and im looking into this, i might sound stupid but looking at 2:28 a brids eye view of the road, and a lot of people say the shot was fired near the daltex building but next to that there are a lot of tree's the first thing that came to my head was he was hiding in one of the tree's where your out of sight more or less. where tina towner is stood filming it is basically in line with the shot if not abit to the left.

  • Had there been other snipers in the area...they were not very good...especially considering they would have been planning to take down the president. Too many shots...too much time...too much of a chance of getting caught...oswald did the 3 shots and was helped with the head shot due to kennedys metal back brace keeping him vertical after the upper back-throat wound.

  • think i have it mixed up! did he do that twice?

  • i have seen on footage the incident with JFK retracting his hand, it is due to him being shot! you can see from the front his jacket flick out as the bullet passes threw him it then continues on threw the bodyguard sat in front of JFK and you see his jacket flick also as the bullet passes threw him

  • that was so amazing

  • Are there any records showing that window was replaced in building in 1964? Can that info be researched?

  • I thought silencers drastically worsened the accuracy of a gun. Also wouldn't the individual panes of glass, in older buildings especially, be at slightly different angles so reflect the light oddly?

  • was LHO a right handed shooter? He would then never have chosen the TBD, as this favors left handed shooters to follow the object, not right handers (would have to place body between rifle and window, very awkward)... The daltex is ideal for following the object, if a right handed shooter (for object is turning slowly left on elm st).

  • this guy watched the movie "jfk" way to meny times

  • can you use your eye's please? that window is not open see how black the inside looks on the window that IS open and see how it looks nothing like the window that you think the shots came from its not hard to see that window is not open and the little black blob that you think is a hole cut out for a gun tell me would they not have to fix the hole after the hots so no one would find it and in the other pic you show proov's NOTHING

  • great video.Well that scumbag Hunt basically proved what millions of ppl knew that Kennedy was killed by others then Oswald.Thanx for your hard work Peace

  • Bob i am sure your a nice guy,but there are things in this film that you will never see because your blind to them.Did you know that the bullet from a carcano rifle can go 4 feet into a block of solid wood.your saying 2 soft targets wouldn't happen? 6.5 ammo was made to kill as many soldiers as possible if they were in a straight line.Also there was some damage to the seats that matched the bullet size that has not been reported.

  • your insane.i bet you think lincoln did it.

  • The first shot missed the car completely/ kennedy reacted to the guinshot by looking in the opposite direction sharpley then blowing it off as a firecracker.

  • Sorry Bob... I cannot get on board with your analysis. The Zapruder film CLEARLY shows Kennedy both smiling and waving well past the sharp turn onto Elm Street. Frames 170-200 when the limo goes behind the sign show Kennedy relaxed and smiling. The first shot hit Kennedy at frame 220 when our view is obscured by the sign in the Zapruder film.

  • One thing in favor of your conclusion is that it is exactly at that point in the video, with the limo now committed to Elm St., that the shooting would have begun. It makes perfect sense.

  • I enjoy your videos Bob. One thing though, if that first Daltex shot was noise-suppressed, what then was Kennedy reacting to? It would have been too noisy for him to have heard the shot. Is there any evidence of a bullet strike on the pavement or anywhere else near that vicinity?

    Also, Kennedy displayed a clear pattern with his waves to the crowd. He would give a very brief wave and then pull his hand back almost immediately. I think one could make a case for that happening here.

  • Kennedy was shot from the front not from behind. Back of his skull was blown out. The driver did the second shot. Connely himself said there were 2 shots.

  • CANCERMAN SHOT KENNEDY.

  • CANCER MAN FROM THE X FILES SHOT KENNEDY.

  • @cruisersism Spot on Mate. One day, the truth will set the USA FREE and other countries as well ? :)

  • y woulnt he just open the window?

  • by the way..what kind of sniper is going to take up position on the third floor when he can take a more covert position elsewhere...3rd floor seems kinda low...by the way I'm on ur side...but I must be objective.

  • I believe the government isnt telling the truth...but ur doing alot of speculating...ur evidence needs to be more firm...ur beliefs are just that.l.beliefs...but we need more.....im at 3:24 so far...ill get back to you ;)

  • y is no one else reacting...his wife sits there without a change of expression on her face...

  • this is my theory: there were maybe 2 to 3 gunmen

    1st shot miss

    2nd shot hit JFK and through connallys back

    3rd shot hit conallys wrist and thigh

    4th shot miss

    5th shot killed JFK

    i recon that there was a shooter in the school book depository and one on the grassy noll i got my theory from the space of time i took conally to slump in his seat after being hit and the time between the throat shot to JFK and the fatal head shot.

  • Why couldn't a DTB sniper simply stick the rifle between the slats of the blinds-the gap would still have been enough not to mar the killer's view. And it would have less easy to spot him.

  • If the Dal Tex window was broken the hole would be as dark as the background in the other open DT windows. Too much is being read into JFK's movements in the Towner films and photos. And he IS clearly smiling around frame 160 +. in the Z film.

  • Lol, why did you use a Airsoft pistol, and Assault Rifle for the supressed shooting tests? This was apparent because there was no released shell cartroges and I could hear the BB's bouncing around, also I want to add, if he had been shot, dont you think he would be screaming in pain, and dont you think he would have told his wife, and the police? Also there would be the apparent blood, which the crowd, JFK and police would have noticed... Then again, considering you "shooting tests" you probabl

  • Great theory. Therefore you're also saying the President was a complete idiot, as he started waving again before disappearing behind the road sign in the Zapruder film. The man was a veteran. The President had back issues due to that fact, and was sitting in a car waving in a back brace. No way could he be feeling discomfort from his known issues. Lets just assume he was being shot at w/ a silencer, sure. I guess Oswald didn't get the memo and opted not to suppress his weapon that day.

  • Half way through legacy of secrecy. I've been interested inthis since the oliver stone movie. Kennedy was a legend. What a tragedy.

  • Actually the sixth floor and it was a carcano rifle and it was from Texas Book Depository

  • @guitarrmasta: this was a sacrifice of Joe Kennedy! He made a deal with the Texas Devils for a brief moment of glory for his son. Joe wanted Jr to be President but Joe died. The taxes oilers wanted LBJ to run but Joe got them to agree for LBJ to be vice president. LBJ would never win on his own he didn't have the charisma so the deal was to accept the exchange since nobody knew how long JFK would live anyway battling health issues. JFK probably knew in the back of his mind but never imagined th

  • Nobody can tell me that they don't have better close range footage of the assignation! I've seen several scenes such as this one and you mean to tell the world that suddenly as he was shot all close range disappeared except for Abraham zepruder film which spelled differently is code for presidents murder! After Abraham Lincoln. I know there must exist close range footage of the shooting! I bet people turned it in to be helpful and never got it back!

  • Now i can't sleep. I don't know why...

  • @niKKolas12 same here

  • well the most responsible person for this is kennedy himself, i mean why the hell would you be on a CONVERTIBLE bullet proof limo? makes no sense, and i believe if kennedy was smart he would've realized that he had enemies, therefor the most logic thing to do is to increase your security and not exposing yourself like this

  • What nonsense!!!!!!

  • man. i bet the goverment had a huge argument over this

  • Kennedy was a true leader though and obama is an elietist puppet

  • I've noticed the hand pulling back too. I always thought he had started to wave and smile to someone and they probably screamed communist at him and gave him a rude gesture. Mr. Kennedy was certainly hated as much as Mr. Obama is hated today by many Americans---and this was in Texas. Regardless, amazing work on these videos, sir.

  • It's impressive and Kennedy is reacting to something and it is suspicions that in both films a crucial point is damaged (does look like heat damage too). The real key to your making a really major breakthrough is the wider contexts before, during and after the assassination. What do we know about that room? Who was the first in there afterwards? When was that window repaired? Are there statements from witnesses who saw sparks? DId the police ever find physical evidence on the street?

  • People would be better served to study the pavement chip caused by a bullet near the underpass that richoted and hit James Teague on the check glancingly. If you draw a line from that point to TSBD 6th floor you get a line that misses the limo by 22 feet overhead (at the point of the head shot). Unless another later shot was attemted this is puzzling...missing by 22ft. Clearly that shot was fired from a lower level somewhere behind.

  • Love the vids bro thanks!

  • I think it seems very unlikely that to cut out a piece of the curtain as you say, it will be very visible from the street. A sniper would rather choose to have the window open, be on for example a table with clothes order to blend in ...

  • Dear Mr. Harris, a small point: is it possible the blind cord was not cut, but just a portion of the blind had been lifted to allow the shooter (if he were there) only as much of a gap as he needed? That missing part of the cord might not be visible because it is horizontal and out of the light. Not that that conflicts with your argument, but rather supports it. (I've got hooked on your splendid videos!)

  • When you say destroyed "apparently by the FBI," it seems like a lot of speculation to me. It's a hard pill to swallow, but I think Oswald did it. Was he working for someone else, I don't know.

    On your suppressors -- the technology has improved significantly, so I hope those were not newer suppressors you were using. Keep in mind subsonic ammunition has poor accuracy, compared to supersonic.

  • The first shot came from behind the Stemmons freeway sign, fabricated into the Zapruder footage for obvious reasons (to hide the first shot that was never going to miss).

  • Hey bob, I respect your work, alot of people dont really think about this stuff anymore. I am a former Marine, i agree in your observations. I am a rifle expert in the field of shooting one, and taking fire from one. When there is a sniper, taking a shot, you will not know "at the time" of where it first came from with out examination later on. So it is extremely realistic, that JFK didnt even know when the shots were missing. Varaibles are different when a round is traveling some distance.

  • i have watched your videos so many times studing what you have said and from what ive heard you have me convinced there was more shooters as a 14 year old this is helping me in my history at school thanks for the facts bob.

  • I have a question:

    in frame 6:51 in discussing jim braden, who is the man in the second photo from the left? His shirt is different, his nose is not the same as the one on the farthest right and his hairline is different. Also you will see that the earlobes from pic 2 and 4 do not match.

    Also with the pics below of the other man...the hairline is different and what is with the earlobes?

    Sincerely would like explanation of these things.

  • The window evidence business is one I disagree with. I respect the work and time you have put in but honestly, are you going to tell me that of all those people looking up at the windows and trying to spot "a" shooter, is somehow going to miss seeing a "broken" window with suspicious blinds cut out? I doubt it. Everyone was looking at those windows. Quickly scanning them. All of them missed this? No way. I do enjoy your videos and think you bring a lot to the table but this is a reach IMHO.

  • @concretefire This was a very old building. According to at least one witness, there were several other broken windows in the Daltex as well.

  • I was just wondering why the motorcycle cops had disappeared altogether.

  • @bellavia5 Right? Lead car has several motorcycles, Secret Service car has motorcycles, but President/Governor car w/ wives? No motorcycles! Every time I've seen these videos for years this has annoyed me.

  • @concretefire he's also comparing two different windows in "the other angle" photo, that doesn't mean he wasn't shot prior to turning onto houston, there are many witnesses still alive who heard more shots actually during that last turn and setting up for the turn. he also may not know that ruby (rubenstein) was killed by the same cancer virus they were all working on together to kill castro, which is why jfk wanted to break up the cia to "a thousand pieces", it still happened that way

  • @concretefire well tbh such thing would be so unexpected that i would be mildly shocked and rather look around me or around the car in amazement of such thing actually happening, not searching the hiding spot of the shooter since you are never prepared for such things. The logical thinking would come only some times after natural response - in such situation you just wouldn't come to that thought to think "logically" or "fast enough" except when you have prepared for such thing before (like we).

  • Even with all the hard work you've done Bob, there are still people out there that still find all this hard to believe and that LHO was the sole assasin. But just the evidence of a known gunman in the Deltex building would have had alarm bells ringing off the hook today.. But !!! Not on that day apprently...

  • I'm wondering if anyone ever tried to check with local window repair services having a record of replacing that glass pane or any others in the area.

    Also, professional assassins would have setup several firing positions & lord knows there were a lot of potential positions to choose from. It is so hard for me to understand how the Secret Service ever allowed the motorcade to follow that route.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm no arms expert, but wouldn't the sound of the weapon firing be further suppressed by it being inside the confines of a small office? Assuming that the muzzle didn't protrude past the window, most of the noise would be reflected off the glass back into the room. Assuming they were pros & training to hit Castro in exactly the same manner (my assumption), it would be nuts for the sniper to expose the weapon & his firing position by sticking the gun out past the plane of the window.

  • Mr Harris just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos on the JFK assassination, you bring some good old common sense into the debate.

  • @orgaz1 Thanks. It took me a looong time to figure out some of this but after more than 15 years, I think I discovered a few things that are important. This early shot is one of them.

  • Like pieces on a puzzle....

  • I was reading a CIA hit manual and they said that with rifles, suppressors and 'known' technologies, gunshots could still be heard from a rifle shot from the bullets cutting through the air. This book was from 1956 I believe.

  • @n0gar It depends on the weapon. High powered rifles cannot be totally suppressed but less powerful guns can. And there would be no shock wave if the bullet wasn't supersonic.

  • @10Faenorr

    Of course we have to use the films we have to figure out what happened: unless you have better evidence stashed away somewhere?

    Naturally if there were other shooters in other locations they could get away if there is a diversion at another location. A well-known tactic.

  • Good catch on Kennedy's reaction before and recovery after the mutilated frames.
