Actually Kennedy was reaching for his mouth because he felt the bullet go in his throat. He reacts as though he is choking it out or almost as if he
is about to vomit. The time between that shot and the fatal shot is only a couple of seconds, and if you've ever received any kind of serious injury
you know that you can't concentrate, thus he didn't have enough time to really move much. On top of this he was wearing a back brace which made it
impossible for him to bend forward. There have been some to suggest the bullet contained some kind of paralytic agent, but the simplest answer is
that it was his back brace that was restricting him as he is thinking about trying to breath and not choke from this burning sensation in his
throat.
On Greer: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the Greer/Gun theory was posited over 20 years ago, and solidly and conclusively debunked by all respected
assassination researchers who have helped to provide the evidence of the massive conspiracy involved in the President's murder. The evidence for
conspiracy in the death of JFK is quite convincing, as well as Oswald's connections to the CIA. But when it comes to William Greer, a man of
impeccable character, he was not holding a gun, did not shoot JFK, had no advance knowledge of the assassination, and was wracked with guilt for years
that he couldn't have reacted quicker so as to save the President's life. The newly enhanced Zapruder film shows that both he and Kellerman look
back in reaction to Connelly's shouting "Oh, no, no, no! They're going to kill us all!". Greer removes his left hand from the wheel as his right
hand is near his knee in order to continue steering. The act of looking back caused him to involuntarily remove his left hand which always remains at
a level not higher than his chest. He was not holding a gun, and even if he was to have fired a gun at that angle he'd have shot himself in the
shoulder.
