The timing, accuracy and wounds SCREAMS Oswald with his FMJ bolt action rifle

[Ross Lidell]

Most witnesses said the 2nd and 3rd shots were simultaneous; one right on top of the other.

You figure it out.

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the coverup."

Are YOU part of the coverup?

Most witnesses said?

So you accept the estimates of these witnesses as absolutely accurate?

Do you accept the testimony of "all" witnesses (Warren Commission & HSCA) as absolutely accurate?

Timing

Multiple shots spaced over many seconds is typical of a bolt action rifle.


Accuracy

Yeah sure a triangulation of snipers are going to continually miss their target which was moving relatively slowly down Elm Street, as if! Whereas Oswald who was a little rusty missed his first shot and realistically his second shot can also be classified as a miss because JFK's head must have been the target and then the last shot was too high and almost missed, some professional.

Wounds

Kennedy's neck wound was a straight through and through injury a classic FMJ wound whereas a sniper's bullet would have caused a terrible wound and most probably would have killed Kennedy immediately but Oswald who only had a military weapon left two neat holes. Also the theory that Kennedy's back of neck bullet only went in an inch is not supported by the Xrays and beyond that the physics of a slowed bullet only entering an inch, yet not falling short is illogical.

This is true ....but that is NOT what virtually all of the ear witnesses reported they heard.   Nobody reported hearing evenly spaced shots .....  the vast majority reported that the sounds of the shots were NOT the shots that would be expected from a bolt action rifle.

The shots were reported to have been a single distinctive Boom and then a space of a few seconds and then two sharp bangs that were so close together that they sounded nearly like a single shot.

The sounds were    Boom...........................Bang ..Bang,

A bolt action rifle cannot be fired so rapidly that the reports sound one on top of the other.....

Do you accept the testimony of Howard Brennan as absolutely accurate?

When a large number of witnesses all report the same thing, the odds of them all being identically mistaken go down drastically.

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the coverup."

Are you part of the coverup?

"When a large number of witnesses all report the same thing, the odds of them all being identically mistaken go down drastically."

Not merely a "large number.".....  The vast majority of the witnesses reported that the last two shots were nearly simultaneous......  That's impossible with a bolt action rifle....

Hi Bob.....I thought that you would have had a little fun with Mr Mytton's  referring to the rifle as a Full Metal Jacket rifle.

"Oswald with his FMJ bolt action rifle"...John Mytton....

I have a question that I?ve wondered about, which may take a psychologist to answer.

Didn?t most everyone testify they first heard  1) firecracker/tire blow out/backfire 2) gunshot 3) gunshot  so that all the testimonies that subsequently said  shot, shot, shot have technically been testimonies that have been changed?  What made them all change their testimony?  How is a human?s perception of sound vs time-sequencing influenced by first hearing a sound that is internally judged inconsequential (fire cracker etc.) and is just dismissed, but later the individual has a rapid change in awareness/alertness as they realized a shooting was happening after hearing/realizing two gun shots occurred shortly thereafter?

IMO...The first BOOM that was heard was a firecracker...it was a signal to he killers to open fire.....because the signaler with the firecracker had received the thumbs up from the man who would have the power to could cover it all up..... once That SOB Kennedy was dead.

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe............Oh please stop my ribs hurt!!!

[John Iacoletti]

Oswald most likely was aiming at the head the whole time. He was trying to kill, not wound.

Calling wild-ass speculation "most likely" doesn't actually make it anything other than wild-ass speculation.
