Indeed.  Far too much coverage was given to Lady Di.  But I won't mention that again. Wink

It's unfortunate that J.F.K. died that day as I'd say the death of Huxley and Lewis were great losses too.  They obviously died natural deaths.

The percentage of coverage given to each of the three died in 11/22/63 was much closer to accurate in terms of life merits than to the two died in the later date.

 ^ Correct, nothing magic about it.   And thanks, Dean, for the reference back to that old thread.

James:   Connally's wounds [he had a total of about five, as the bullet passed through his chest, wrist, and stopped in his thigh] were reasonably analyzed right after the shooting in Dallas at the same hospital JFK was taken to.   There is little doubt one bullet hit him from the upper rear after traveling through the President.   We're told that bullet, the famous "magic" one, was found on his stretcher at the Dallas hospital.   Much has been made as to how it got there, and that Jack Ruby ~ who we know was at Parkland when this was all happening based on several very credible witnesses (who were never called to testify) ~ may have planted it.   This is pure speculation, though it is odd Ruby would be racing around Dallas, first at Dealy Plaza "to see the fireworks" as a friend reported, and then 20 minutes later at Parkland.   What was he doing there?

In short:

There was no magic bullet. Connolly was sitting a little to the left and below JFK. There was a perfect straight path to the bullet.

There is an old thread on this subject where (I think) David talked about the Governors wounds.


/edit: close, it was GaryB who mentioned the wound: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82736&PID=4582745#4582745

Oswald did claim he was a patsy, but that may have just been obfuscating words.

I don't believe the lone gunman theory.  However I've not read much about the JFK Assassination so I cannot really comment.

My dear fellow, stop shouting, go away from the computer, and calm down a bit before you come back. Otherwise, rightly, you will be banned.

My son is twelve year's old. He has great difficulty in achieving a balance between expressing intelligent opinion and pissing people off. It is my job as his father to try to point him in the right direction, especially in the social interaction discipline of life.

So it is with you. Your comments regarding Obama (and it does not matter a damn whether you are Democrat, Republican, Socialist, Trotskyist, Monster Raving Loonyist......) crossed the line between intelligent debate and nastiness.

Refrain from the latter. It will serve you well in later live.

And if that sounds patronising from a middle aged so and so, it was meant to be, but for the right reasons.
