Why the first shot missed

[Charles Collins]

You can't tell?

Do you think it's just an "artifact"?

I just want to know where you believe the moving white object is located. If you are not going to answer this simple question, I cannot help you.

So if it could be an inadvertent  squeezing trigger as the shooter STARTS to lean over then perhaps the Z143-45 movement of SS agent Hickey may indicate it was at that point which a bullet was fired.

So the angle of the rifle is not dependent on the Z frame point in time because the angle of the rifle as the shooter is holding it while he is in transition to placing it on the boxes could have been much less acute than would be if he had aimed a shot at Z143.

Therefore that angle was perhaps a lot less acute , and thus the bullet could have ricocheted off the asphalt and was the “something” that Virgie Rachley saw striking the pavement.

The bullet must still be somewhere in Dealey Plaza.

Going with Murphys Law that if an object is dropped it will roll into the most inaccessible part of the room and adapting that to a bullet fired at 2000 ft/sec striking at  a slight angle to the asphalt pavement  and the “room” being Dealey Plaza area, that the most inaccessible area would be drain/sewer pipes.

  Murphy's Law = "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". Not sure how this "Law" applies to dropping an object inside a room.

Which object are you referring to?

   You wanna use SA Hickey? He thought the 1st Shot was fired from "Ground Level". Due Diligence Required!

Oswald obviously missed the 1st shot because his scope was grossly misaligned. The LNers seem to think he must have seen a puff of smoke where the bullet struck the pavement next to the limo and decided to use the iron sights for the magic bullet shot that entered JFK's back at T1 and out his throat at C7. Then he waited for Greer to slow down the limo to the turkey shoot point (Z313) and fired the 3rd shot with a frangible bullet that exploded in JFK's head. Oswald must have been a sharpshooter savant, too dumb to practice and sight-in his scope but quick-witted enough to improvise on the fly.

Maybe Oswald knew he was the designated patsy. Maybe he smuggled the rifle into the TSBD in pieces inside a paper bag and reassembled it without leaving a single print on the rifle. Maybe he took some shots from the SN and wiped off all his prints, ditched the rifle, bought a coke from a vending machine in the lunchroom within 90 secs. Maybe the MC wasn't leaky enough to deposit any nitrates on Oswald's face as he took the shots. Maybe Oswald was such an elite sharpshooter he could pull off a headshot using a crap rifle with a wonky scope and no practice. Maybe the magic bullet did zig-zag thru JFK and Connally and showed up on the wrong stretcher in near-pristine condition without a trace of blood, flesh or bone on it. Maybe the DPD were just incompetent with the evidence and inadvertently served up Oswald to Ruby. But none of those maybes exclude Oswald from being a pasty. LNers are actually WC Defenders, since Oswald was clearly a patsy, not a lone nut. And if the Big Event was a conspiracy, there is no way in hell they would rely on the patsy to use a crap rifle with a wonky scope to single handedly take out the POTUS. Besides, there isn't even a valid trajectory from the SN into JFK's back and out his throat. That's why the WC was forced to move the wound up his back closer to his neck to make their LN narrative plausible.

Why would he use the scope for such a close-up shot?

[Jack Trojan]

Why would he use the scope for such a close-up shot?

Why didn't he take the 1st shot when the limo turned on Elm when JFK was a mere 60 ft in front of him?

Why would he leave the scope on the rifle when he disassembled it before smuggling it into the TSBD? Less rifle to smuggle in.

Why would he leave the scope on the rifle if he didn't intend to use it? It would only have gotten in the way if he intended to use the iron sights.

Why would he not have sighted in the scope and practiced with it? Any sharpshooter would have, especially for such an important mission.
