I watched a short mini-documentary on Japanese TV (filmed in the US) in which a retired sniper was unable to fire off how ever many shots Oswald is meant to have with any degree of accuracy.
I vaguely recall other re-enactments which show it is very difficult - even for an expert marksman - to accurately reproduce Oswald's feat ... especially with the weapon he used ...

I've never been convinced of that. I just don't think this mysterious shooter could manage that and also manage to escape given the number of people around. And even if he did manage to escape at the time I can't believe that those who knew about him would have remained quiet all these years. On the other hand, if it was a mob hit then maybe everyone with kno ...[text shortened]... inner workings was also killed. But that all seems far too complicated to me to be workable.
How do you explain why so many people ran in the direction of what now is called the "grassy knoll" after the shots were fired. Why did they do this ?
Originally posted by ivanhoeIf you're suggesting that they ran towards a shooter to subdue him, I just don't think that's the way crowd mentality works. But if that is what happened, then why didn't they capture him?

Originally posted by ivanhoeThere was one rather odd line in it when Garrison concludes "that we all did it." As I recall it was that Kennedy stood in the way of the military industrial complex. It was kind of like Shakespeare in that everyone had a hand in it from the military to the New Orleans mafia.
What kind of motive did Oliver Stone suggest as the major one to kill JFK ?
Originally posted by kirksey957The problem with Oliver Stones's movie is that it is merely based on reality, so you never know what is true and what is fiction. This is one of the reasons I did not go and see the film.

Originally posted by no1marauderhave you ever seen someone get shot in the head? There is SOME brain/blood that shoot back at the shooter, but the VAST MAJORITY of brain/blood gets shot out the back of the exit wound.
Wrong. See Newton's Third Law.
In Kennedy's case, some blood shoot forward but the VAST MAJORITY shoots out the back of his head....consistent with a shot from the front.
Google "Gunshot to the head video" in google and see for yourself.
