JFK Assassination Documents to be released this year

I'm sure that was considered, as was an attempt at the Trade Mart itself where the bulk of the security detail had been allocated. The TSBD had the advantage of surprise, concealment and offered a better chance of escape, as events proved. There was no return fire from the security detail and the gunman/gunmen were able to escape the building.

Any location offered surprise. Both Ft Worth and the TSBD offered better concealment and chance of escape than the Grassy Knoll. Ft Worth offered a more exposed, unmoving target with clearer fields of fire and a much longer time to aim a first shot.

So why would a competent Conspiracy choose Dealey Plaza over Ft Worth?

[Fiver]

They didn't. The shooting of JD Tippit was not even disguised as a felon fleeing justice: it was a cold-blooded execution intending to silence a man for good. Whether Tippit was up so something at the time- his actions suggest he was- or whether his experienced eye just spotted someone he didn't think looked right I am not sure. But I cannot see his murder was planned beforehand.

If Tippit was executed for knowing too much, then the Dallas police must have falsified the forensics evidence to pin the blame on Oswald.

Why would the Dallas Police agree to a plan that involved the unnecessary murder of one of their own men?

[Fiver]

So all the witnesses who saw the person that wasn't Oswald shoot tippet, they lied , were mistaken , were idiots , didn't exist?

Maybe we should put your dozen in that category .?

Your position requires that the over a dozen witnesses who saw Oswald shoot Tippit or flee the scene are liars. Your position requires everyone who saw Oswald attempt to use his gun are liars. Your position requires that the Dallas police fake the evidence. Your position requires that all forensics experts brought in as well as most of every committee that examined the Tippit killing are liars.

So you're calling at least 60 people liars.

Against that we have the Clemmons, Wright, and Holan stories which contradict each other on every point yet you believe all three of them to be true.

That being said George ,we agree the fatal shot came from the front .

The forensics evidence shows the fatal shot came from the south knoll. I do not discount a possible almost simultaneous shot from the rear, but from a lower vantage point than the TSBD.

I know what she said: that her husband's wounds were all caused by one bullet, the second of 3 in total that were fired. According to the governor that wasn't before frame 130 in the Zapruder film, but the thing is that he held his right hand at about shoulder level from frame 128 or so to at least frame 179 and then again at least from frame 320 until 330. So, the point is: how can he have been hit both in his upperbody and his wrist by a downward shot when he held his hand, holding the hat, clearly above the point of exit in his upperbody? And how could he still have held his hat after the third and, according to the Connally's, final shot?

Hi Frank,

Just to be absolutely clear, you are suggesting, as am I, that Connally's injuries could not have been caused by one bullet?

Best regards, George
