There are so many stories floating around over the years about shooters in so many places it makes your head spin, which is, I'm sure exactly what some people want; to keep us from being able to sort it all out.
I also want to add that if the shot to the throat and the fatal head shot came from the same gun , then why the difference in the severity of the wounds ?
If the throat shot was indeed an exit wound , then it paled significantly to the severity of the head wound .
If the throat shot was an entrance wound , there had to be a second shooter .
Researcher John Cahill, a veteran sportsman and gun aficionado, writes, "The long, heavy 6.5 [Mannlicher-Carcano] has often been described as a ballistic overachiever, with 'killing power' far greater than one its paper ballistics would indicate, and greater than one would think, given its diminutive size and modest velocity."(18)
Cahill also notes that the type of ammunition used for the assassination was favored by turn-of-the-century elephant hunters.(19) Any bullet capable of penetrating elephant hide can be expected to inflict considerable damage upon a human being without suffering excessive mutilation of its own.

have studied the shooting for years and I have no doubt that a political coup took place before our very eyes , that day.
Kennedy had made so many enemies within his own government and various agencies , that a number of theories could hold water and they would all still point to a coup .

More like the back of the neck There are autopsy photos of this. Google neck wound or back wound and you get a plethora. The magic bullet path was straight. When they lined everything up including the jump seat placement, the position of JFK and Connelly, then there is a straight line all the way back to the 6th floor window of the depository building. It has to line up, that is where the bullet came from.

Yep, same here. I was alive then and I've seen all the things you're talking about. I think it was easier to research before the internet was around. I've definitely seen more BS since then.

Because books have citations listing every source from which information was obtained and it is easy to find the material to verify the facts. Youtube videos that are a dime a dozen can say anything.

wont happen, people who were involved in that day are still alive and a part of big government.
Could you name one or two? Just for giggles?
Well, there was a document that came out that George Bush was there in Dallas at the time. George Bush Sr. claims it wasn't him, even though he was CIA back then. I can't prove he was involved but it's very suspicious.edit on 1-4-2013 by texasgirl because: (no reason given)
I disagree . If the throat wound was an exit wound , then Kennedy would have slumped forward as the bullet hit him from behind and this was not the case .
Look how he reacts as the bullet hits the throat . Both hands go instinctively up to the throat with no forward motion of his body . This would suggest an entry wound .
And before the internet , exactly what research could you rely on ? You had books and nothing else , so what makes you think it was easier ?
