Did you figure out why no one reacted to the early shots, the way they did to the ones at the end?
We have established that the MC had a reputation, no matter how loud, of sounding like a fire-cracker when shot. This is also what everyone heard that day.
Why are you dodging the question?
The reactions following 285 and 313 were vastly different than the ones following 160 and 223. Why don't we see people ducking and spinning around and shielding their ears in reaction to the early shots?
Those shots should have been the loudest and most startling, since the limo was much closer to the alleged sniper's nest then. Why didn't they startle anyone?
And why is it that most witnesses only heard one of those early shots? The WC correctly concluded that "most" relevant witnesses said they only heard one shot prior to the very end of the attack. How could they have overlooked a 130 decibel, high powered, rifle shot?
No doubt, but in the end - No evidence.
Well of course. The top experts on the mob and its relationship to the JFK assassination, just formed their conclusions on a Ouiji board. Never mind the many hundreds of sourced footnotes in their books, or the minor fact that Marcello swore that he would kill JFK and then confessed to doing so, to an FBI informant, mafia attorney Frank Ragano, and others.
Never mind the fact that Sam Giancana was murdered exactly 5 days before he was supposed to testify about the mob's connections to the CIA, or that Johnny Roselli's dismembered body was found floating in an oil drum, shortly after telling the Washington Post that the mob ordered Ruby to kill Oswald.
Or the fact that within
24 hours after HSCA investigators began to call around, looking for Charles Nicoletti, the man was murdered.
Or the fact that David Ferrie, who Marcello described as his accomplice, was found dead, within a couple days after it came out in the papers that he was being investigated by Garrison.
Or the fact, that Jim Braden, who is in arguably, the best sniper position in Dealey Plaza that day, was rubbing elbows with Jack Ruby the night before, at the Cabana hotel, the same place where Ruby was meeting with Marcello lieutenant, Joe Campisi, who also just happened to be Ruby's first visitor after he shot Oswald.
Gosh, how could anyone be suspicious about those little details
Actually it does. It means they would have had to contract out to use people unknown to them, something the Mafia just doesn't do.
Nonsense. Anyone could have shot Kennedy in Dealey plaza as the limo crawled along at 12 mph.
Second, had the plot been discovered the United States would have hunted the entire mafia down Al Qaeda-style.
The FBI, who was responsible for the entire investigation was committed to "convince the public" that Oswald acted alone. And Hoover had been in the mobs' pocket for many years, which is why he claimed that the Mafia didn't exist.
And they carried out that agenda, over and over and over again - when they did everything possible to coverup the fact that Jack Ruby lied, when he was asked during his polygraph test, if he had been involved in the assassination.

They even went so far as to falsify evidence. This article about CE399 presents a mountain of evidence which proves that.

As long as Hoover was in charge of the investigation, Marcello had no worries at all, that he would be caught.
This was not about "business". Bobby humiliated Marcello by having him dragged out of his house in the middle of the night and dumped in the jungles of Guatemala. He swore that he would kill JFK (not Bobby) for that, and he admitted that he did it, even to an FBI informant.
Any idiot can fire a rifle and hit his target in a such a small area as Dealey Plaza. It is ludicrous to think that Marcello would have backed off on his pledge to kill JFK, because one or more rifles were required.
This is circular logic. If any idiot could hit a target in the small area of Dealey Plaza then why would you need two shooters? Why hire two guys when you can pay one? Why spread the risk?
There have been thousands of acts of terror and murder in which fewer assassins, or even one, could have done the job.
Of course, you might be partially right. Maybe they did use people who were not expert riflemen and they thought they needed 2 or 3 people to be sure they got him - especially since some of the shots were obviously fired from suppressed weapons, which are not always accurate.
First, it is silly to pretend that the large majority of witnesses, including the nonvictims in the limo, all suffered from the same delusion.
People did. That's how they knew to look up and see the barrel of the rifle in the 6th floor window.
Two or three people did indeed, look up there - probably because the two high powered rifle shots were fired by snipers on the 6th floor.
The first shot passed over them. That's why he heard it.
No sir. He was very specific, that it was the second that caused the "concussion" he felt.
The second one didn't sound any different much than the first one but I kind of got, by turning around, I don't know whether I got a little concussion of it, maybe when it hit something or not, I may have gotten a little concussion that made me think there was something different to it.
And here's another clue for you. He wasn't turned around at 150-160 or 223,

His face is not always clear, but keep an eye on his black tie.
Now look at him at 285.
http://jfkhistory.com/285.jpg
The second shot hit the President and him, it was super-sonic, and pain supersedes situational awareness.
Of course the 223 shot hit JFK, but it was not supersonic. If it was, everyone would have heard it. And if Oswald had fired that shot, there would have been a 130 decibel shock wave, which would have had those people reacting at least as dramatically as they did, following 285 and 313.
But that isn't what happened, is it?
Virtually NO ONE heard that shot - not John Connally, not his wife, not Mrs. Kennedy, not Kellerman and not Greer.
Would you like to argue that there really was, only one early shot?
