Why the first shot missed

[Tom Mahon]

So you wanna rely on what they label a "conscious reaction" vs a "startle reaction"? I would contend the seven witnesses have been "noise conditioned" by the consistent backfires of the DPD motorcycles which are spread throughout the motorcade. That "reaction" well was poisoned by all of the motorcycle backfires.

Since all seven of those witnesses were, according to you, already conditioned to hearing shot-like sounds (does a motorcycle backfire produce a supersonic "crack"?) that day, their conscious (i.e., non-"startle") physical reactions -- as "captured" by the Zapruder film -- to the 1) muzzle blast, and 2) the supersonic "crack" of Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot must have been slower than if they weren't "conditioned." And therefore it must have occurred even earlier than "Z-124".

    A poisoned well/ear can Not be relied on/used. That is what I am saying. Your insatiable thirst to move the 1st shot to an earlier point in time has now become obvious.

1) How many bullets do you think hit JFK and/or JBC?

2) Were there any shots that missed both of them?

3) If so, when was the first missing shot fired, and from where?
