Nov 22nd 1963 --- 50 Years --- Nov 22 2013

I have always liked the "Mortal Error" theory since I read the book in the early 90's, also known now after the latest show as the "Smoking Gun" theory

I am not sold on it entirely but I like the ballistics point of view that was put forth, I especially liked how he straightened out the Single bullet, path. I like the theory that the first shot was deflected by a pole or stoplight.. This gives a good reason why the easy close shot missed..

That is about where I stop with my beliefs in the possibilities of that theory, the rest makes some good sense, and it explains a ton of the cover up, but I am not sold yet :)

Also there was some conjecture that Oswald did have the rifle sighted for him, and was a very good shooter with the rifle... This came from a story from a Father and Son IIRC that saw him shooting at the range..
I do know for a fact that a rifle can be "Off" for most shooters and "On" for only one, my old hunting partner Joey shot opposite eye, he held Right yet shot with his Left eye, this meant that his scope was off for anyone else using his rifle... He could shoot it fine, yet I had to compensate over 5 inches at 100 yds to shoot it

Oh man I gotta dig for it but I have almost the exact same pic of me from 1966 in Lubbock TX only the horse is white and named "Plug" :rofl2:

youse guys are way more cynical about this subject than the people on the astronomy site i frequent. wow. i don't think anyone alive right now will ever know the truth. the kennedy family has the pink dress, in apparently pristine condition, put away till 2103. there are a lot of little things that make you think. and the more times you watch the zapruder film and see the back of his head flying off in that direction, makes you wonder where that shot came from. and the above point about the frangible bullet out of a .220 or a .22-250 is a good one. and i thought the scope on the carcano always did look a little lopsided.
but now matter how it happened, it was a very hurtful event for this country.

That horse was my father's, my horse was named Flicka,,,that photo was taken in Little Rock, Arkansas, I believe.

"My friend Flicka"

Yep read those books too, along with "The Black Stallion" series hehehe


:OT

A few years ago I attended a lecture on high velocity gunshot wounds, presented by Dr. Janis Amatuzio.
One thing I remember very clearly from that lecture and the pictures is that the cranium is not flexible enough to expand and contract with temporary cavity, and tends to blow apart. ( temporary cavity )
It is very possible that a shot to the back of the head will cause the skull to blow out in the direction of the impact; it's not from an expanded projectile passing through, it's from the pressure wave pushing against the skull, and that portion has already been weakened.

It has been suggested that Oswald may have had sabotted Rnds,Far more damage caused by them.

I haven't heard her name in a while. Before they moved up the road a ways she used to work across the hall. Still have her home phone number in my book! LOL

The Kennedys relied on the Mafia for years...came to power then leaned on them. Goodbye, gotta go. ...wait is that someone at the backdoor?
