Study: JFK lone-gunman evidence 'not a slam dunk'

[JohnDoe]

Where are you getting this information that it came from the back of the head? The first bullet went through upper back, neck, and out of his throat. The other bullet went in through the back of the head and blew out a large chunk of his skull above his right ear. If he had been shot in the front, the bullet would had to of gone either through the windshield or off from the side where there were many witnesses. And several witnesses near the depository heard all three shots come from above.

There are 5 consecutive shots on a tape from a policeman's motorcycle mic/hand radio....saw that on one of the Discovery channel specials on this....

also....exit wounds are ALWAYS larger than entrance wounds, from my understanding....but I am not 100% certain?

Yes the exit wound is always larger. Because the bullet either tumbles or fragments. There would not be a three inch entry wound in the back of his head. That would only be an exit wound. An entry wound would only be the size of the bullet.

As for Hoover being in Dallas I haven't heard much on that. If he was there the day before that would only be normal as he was head of the FBI. But he hated kennedy and thought the man was a disgrace to the presidency. The man had more shit on more people in washington than carter has pills. There's no way he didn't at least know something was coming down.

Exit wounds are not larger using full metal jacket ammo.

There are not 5 consecutive shots. The sounds have not been identified conclusively as shots.

Why is it you people willing to believe coverup will ignore conclusive evidence in favor of inconclusive evidence? I don't get it.

Gunny I think this is the only area you and I ever disagreed on. I do believe there was a cover up. Who and why will probably not come out till long after we are gone.

You know as well as I do that a full metal jacket round is not going to put a three inch hole in the back of someones head on entering. Blood splatter and bone fragments would not come out from the bullet going in. They come out at the exit point. And the size of the hole will depend on how much tumbling the bullet did after entering.

I believe there was more than one shooter and that the government was involved in a cover up or were completely inept at carrying out the investigation and tried to cover that up. Which would make a lot more sense as conspiracies go.

I don't believe there was a coverup. If that bullet hit the base of the skull glancing downward, as the Zapruder film supports, it most certainly would not make a clean entry and easily could make a 3 or more inch hole. Oswald was shooting down on a moving target which easily explains a not so clean entry wound.

And once Oswald's shooting was broken down, I was less than impressed with his marksmanship. It's not the miracle shooting it's being made out to be. Matter of fact, he was pretty sloppy, in my professional opinion. At 200+ feet with a scope he should have blown Kennedy's head clean off.

Yes, the Zapruder film clearly shows the kill shot blowing a spray of blood out forward. There is no doubt he was shot from the back of the head.

I mean we all watched a bunch of jihadists highjackers crash planes into buildings on live TV but people still don't want to believe it was that simple.

Oswald was a flamming marxist socialist pig, who renounced his citizenship at one point to go live in the USSR. During his time in the Marines he was on outcast and always getting into trouble, and he was mentally unstable since his youth. Lets not forget he attempted to kill General Edwin Walker who was an avid anti-communist just weeks before the JFK assassination, and he did kill a police officer right after killing JFK.
Its strange that despite all the evidence and motive a lot of people (most seem to be the liberal types) can't accept that this American hating left wing nut simply sat up in that room and shot up the President. A President that had the balls to stand up against the communists and Cuba.

I believe it was that simple. The only one who doesn't is Rosie O'Donnell.

I have always thought the Mafia killed JFK. They helped him get elected, then double crossed them with making Bobby AG

When you make a deal with those guys, you better keep your word

Oswald didn't have any known association with the Mafia. Just because the Mafia, Johnson, or anyone else disliked or even hated the President doesn't mean they had him killed. Every President is hated by alot of people, it doesn't make them all guilty if he is killed. All the evidence clearly shows Oswald was the killer. I'd say if anything it could of been the Soviets behind it, but even they wanted nothing to do with Oswald after they found out what a loon he was. Oswald was a deranged liberal who hated his own country so when he heard about the President's route which was made public days in advance, he set up that sniper nest and it was easy pickings from there.

You're not addressing what I said about the exit wound. The entrance was in the BACK of the skull, not the front. Why do you people keep claiming there was a huge exit wound in the back of his head?

Where is anyone's evidence to the contrary??
