The Magic Bullet

[Micah Mileto]

Huh?

Are you saying the diagrams of JFK's neck wound the HSCA published don't depict the wounds actual location?

Gary, that Thomas Canning diagram actually depicts the back wound an inch of two higher than the Ida Dox diagram presented as authentic to the autopsy photographs. Very sneaky 

[Jerry Freeman]

The standard lame excuse for this is that Odum was older and he just forgot.  But when an 83 year old Jim Leavelle recalled stuff to Dale Myers...well you can take that to the bank.

Can you point to a Zapruder film frame that shows Kennedy's neck in the anatomical position?

Can you point to a Zapruder film frame that shows Kennedy's neck in this position?

[Gary Craig]

No.
You seem to think the HSCA should have applied (without any adjustment) the wound track shown in their "Autopsy Position" diagram to the moment Kennedy was shot.

Irrelevant!

Show the frame of the Z-film that shows JFK in the position he was in when actually hit by the

alleged "Magic Bullet".

Jerry needs to also physically put himself in JFK's position and show us how the MB worked. For the umpteenth time, get in-between 2 lasers pointed at each other, -17 deg from horizontal and show your body position that matches JFK's entrance/exit wounds and shove it down the CT's throats. WTF are you waiting for? Cheap and easy peasy, but as of yet crickets from the LNers. And you can bet your arse that every LNer that has tried, has failed, otherwise, they would have posted their results faster than a speeding MB! This speaks volumes, IMO.

Show us where there was a need for a bullet to be magic...

[EXCERPT]

"By design, fully jacketed projectiles have less capacity to expand after contact with the target than a hollow-point projectile. While this can be an advantage when engaging in targets behind cover, it can also be a disadvantage as an FMJ bullet may pierce completely through a target, leading to less severe wounding, and possibly failing to disable the target. Furthermore, a projectile that goes completely through a target can cause unintentional damage* downrange of the target".

*Seems to me JBC was the one 'unintentionally damaged'... being 'downrange of the target' and all.

Is this intact to you?

Seems to me that you are a maroon....You obviously don't understand what you posted...

Are you aware that JFK was "SEVERELY WOUNDED"   ....Do you actually believe the bullet that blew half his head away was a FMJ projectile???
