Jfk reloaded deal with it gif
I also believe that the shooter in the Oswald window was not expected to hit anything, a fact he probably was not aware of.Īfter nearly half a century emotions still run high in Kennedy assassination research. The exception was the Texas School Book Depository, which was chosen to incriminate Oswald and not for its desirability as a shooting location. I assumed that every shot was a credible attempt to hit the president. I assumed that the shooters were professionals who chose locations that maximized cover, effective shots and ease of escape. There was also a tactical reason for choosing the 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano and that is described in the narrative.
Knowing that the FBI would manage the cover story, I believe the assassination planners were more concerned with killing the President than with giving the FBI a clean crime scene. The decision to pin an inferior Italian rifle on the patsy was a sign of disrespect for the FBI. However, it is clear that the shooters were confident of their ability to control the crime scene. Consequently I maintained a doctrine of economy of shots.
No witnesses described Dealey Plaza as a “war zone” or a “shooting gallery.” Witness estimates range from three to eight shots fired. My hope is that the following scenario is or is close to the one we can agree on. With such a scenario in hand we can concentrate on other unresolved issues and someday push through to a conclusion. What is necessary is focusing on the totality of circumstances and creating a shot scenario that assassination researchers can agree upon. It is no longer necessary to prove that the Warren Commission was wrong about the shots in Dealey Plaza.
