JFK's Head Snap and the Implausible Jet-Effect and Neurospasm Theories

[Gerry Down]

Shouldn't this kind of a shot have knocked Kennedys head forward not back and to the left?

[Michael Carney]

Gerry,
If you watch all the simulated "melon" shooting you see in most instances that the melon explodes out the front, the the back part of the melon goes backwards.
Imagine a bullet that explodes when striking something. It is moving so fast, 3,300 ft/sec, it enters the head, travels some distance and then explodes. Let's say it travels 6 inches and explodes, remember, 3,300 ft/sec, it doesn't take much for it to travel the 6 inches. Now where is the bullet when it explodes? It's just below JFK's front right forehead and it explodes. It blows in all directions; blowing that area of JFK's skull out and away and also blows backwards thus pushing JFK's head back and to the left.

The bones broke at the front of the head. Wouldn't the breaking of these bones pull the head forward?

"The bones broke at the front of the head. Wouldn't the breaking of these bones pull the head forward?"

No, because the blast is forward coming out of his forehead, like a rocket taking off. Blast goes one way the rocket goes in the opposite direction. Another example: It’s kind of like a rifle recoiling; you have this explosion when the bullet is fired, it goes forward and you get the kick backwards.

This sounds like the jet effect. Are you saying the spray coming out the front of the head caused Kennedy to be thrown backwards. Just like the recoil of a rifle?

The bullet is moving so fast, 3,300 fps, the destruction in the brain is so great that the head explodes. And if the "explosion" opening is located in the right frontal lobe, then the head will be forced away from the explosion, thus back and to the left.
