Merged bullet hole in the windshield of JFK's limo/ You might be...

TokenMac said:
At that angle the shooter would have to be on the bridge over I-35 on ramp.

and it would be pretty eazy to spot some one up there.

I thought about the bridge, but the angle still doesn't seem right. Also, why shoot someone who is sitting in a open topped convertible, which will be passing below you, through the windshield, especially when the rearview mirror is in the way?

Setting common sense aside, it still seems the angle isn't right. The crack in the windshield is about the same height as where Kennedy's head was, plus or minus a few inches. I would say to execute that shot, the shooter would have to be standing, or even crouching, right in front of the limo.

If only there existed a video tape or pictures or eyewitness testimony that show an assassin idiotic enough to stand in the middle of the street and shoot the president....

True if that's your main quack qualifier. I was reminiscing about all of the wacky and zany characters that the JFK "research" community has. Mark Lane, Jim Hoffman, Fletcher Prouty, Robert Groden, David Lifton, etc.

You forgot Jim Fetzer! He was a prominent and zany JFK kook long before he was a 9/11 kook.

How could anyone be able to tell by looking at an actual bullet hole in a windshield, from which direction the bullet was fired?

Windshields are two pieces of glass laminated with plastic in between. Only the outside glass was cracked directly opposite a smattering of lead residue left on the inside of the windshield. There was no "bullet hole" in the windshield.

ETA: Maybe the "magic bullet" that is spoken of is the one shot from the front, caromed over the top of the windshield, ricocheted off the president's head, and smacked into the inside of the windshield, cracking it.

RoboTimbo, I think TK understood that, but he was posing a question about Evalea Glanges' story in the YouTube link. She said that she looked at the limo and saw a hole.

Of course, it would be easy for a person to make a mistake like that, seeing a crack and thinking it was a through-hole, and of course the Secret Service or FBI would move the limo away from gawkers - it's evidence from a crime scene and a personal tragedy for those involved. The YouTube segment made no important points.

But to answer TK's question - it would be easy to tell which direction the bullet came from by looking at a hole, or even a crack, in the windshield, if you could examine it closely. The glass will bevel the hole in the direction of the bullet travel, so that the exit side will be wider than the entry side. Or, if it didn't go all the way through, you may see a crater on the opposite side from where the bullet hit.

Thanks. I guess it's not as difficult as I first thought.
 
Obviously the driver planted the bullet fragments in order to distract everyone from the shooter standing on Zapruder's sholders.

Of course Prof. Plum was the brains behind the plot and Miss Scarlet used her womanly wiles to distract at the crucial moment.

Something is rotten in the Conservatory!!
 
There was no penetration of the windshield.
The third bullet, its impact seen in the Zapruder film frame 313, went forward, impacted the chrome edging for the windshield, fragmented there, some pieces going into the right front seat area of the car, some cracking the windshield, and one piece going over the windshield to strike a spectator standing near the underpass on Main Street.
Anyone taking the time to gather the actual information available... the Zapruder film, the Warren Commission Report, the House Select Committee on Assassintions report, all available on CD, and understanding these, cannot in all conscience accept any of the conspiracy theories, all of which fall flat on their asses when compared to the actual information.

The lady i linked to on the youtube video at Parkland(a doctor and gun affeciondo)seems very credible, as do several others who saw the windshield in Detriot, and in fact removed it. They all state there was a clean unmistakable bullet hole in the glass, independant of what you are referring to.

Obvoiusly the driver was a robot.

No robot at all.

He actually brought the limo to a stop, took his left hand off the wheel, shot Kennedy in the head from over his right shoulder, then sped up the limo and drove off. And ended up in Johnson's White house for his work.

Very clever, and the way the Zapruder film has been edited to make this harder to see is quite laughable.

um...Poe?
 
Bill Hicks loved the driver theory.

"It makes sense, after all who ever looks at the driver in that clip? We're all watching the same thing...

...Jackie's ass as she jumps in the back seat. " :newlol
