The Kennedy Assassination Options

[Gypsy Eyes]

We're discussing this in my great moral class and I was so suprised that nothing came up when I searched this, if there is I'm really sorry just merge it or something. Alright moving on.

Who do you think killed Kennedy? There has been so much debate over this issue, the government is saying one thing and the eye witnesses are saying another. The "conclusion" has been changed so many times in order to keep Oswald as the only killer.

I could rant for hours on this so what is your opinion? If you want some more background information this is a really good site.

Yes, Oswald shot at Kennedy. Yes, the bullet Oswald shot pierced Kennedy. No, the fatal bullet was not from Oswald and could not have possibly been shot from Oswald's gun at his angle. Over fifty witnesses claim to have heard shots from the grassy knoll - the appropriate/perfect angle for where the fatal bullet [to the head] could have come from. And there's no way a pristine bullet pierced both Kennedy and Conally.

Why not?
How exactly do you know this?

How is that the perfect angle? How many more witnesses said they heard nothing? How many more told entirely divergent accounts?

In the same documentary on the issue, they proved that the same caliber bullet, shot at the same angle, from the same distance, from the same model and year rifle, could indeed pierce boh Kennedy and Conally, given the trajectory above and without striking bone.

How did they prove it? They did it! They replicated the situation and had several blocks of "imitation human beings" made by FBI standards. Ballistic experts. Rifle experts. Scientists. The bullet reacted just as had been described in the official explanation. So, hypothetically, it is possible. There is a way.

The Zapruder Film clearly shows that Kennedy went backwards as the bullet struck his head, meaning that the shot had to have come from the front. The School Book Depository was behind Kennedy.

I meant the perfect angle as in.. well. *Points to Zapruder film bit* There were a few that were a bit off, but I don't think that interfered much with the general consensus. One lady claimed she was on the bus with Oswald at the time that he was at work. Oh, and I was wrong; according to this article, there were 51 witnesses that heard shots from the grassy knoll. I can't seem to find how many didn't hear anything.

I'm back to dial-up. I can't watch it. Okay, but to be pristine? Since I can't see it, does it confirm that Conally was hit in his wrist as well? I know the Warren Commission report states that (if you want, I can quote it for you, but I'm too lazy to find it at the moment ), but there are multiple witnesses that saw him holding his hat on the stretcher with that hand.

Yes, but the vast majority of them work under the government.

Oiii. I didn't realize this was in Debate. I swore never to post in here since I left.
