Fallacious Bugliosi Argument #26
Another round of "I don't believe a conspiracy would do X, therefore there was no conspiracy".
But why would a lone nut choose to shoot the president at a time when at least 80 percent of his body was concealed and protected by the body of his limousine either?
Yes. He had a complete and open shot coming down Houston. Much more clearly than going down Elm away from the so-called lair, with the branches in the way and so forth. I've watched enough Forensic Files episodes (free on YTV) and criminals do do strange and dumb things.
But for this particular case, this makes no sense at all. The loud boom shot heard by various witnesses was IMO the distracting shot, causing confusion in the plaza area. You can see that it did work as some of the SS agents immediately threw their heads backward to look that way.
The planners wanted to make damned sure the job got done so IMO this whole thing basically came down to overkill when the frontal shot blew his head off. What I've always wondered, too, is why not just shoot him in the head from the same gun that hit his back for the very first shot? It is something to think about but then I just answered my own question above with overkill.
