11/22/63 -- for us old-timers only

The crux of the issue here, concerning the "magic bullet",
is that the alleged gun used by Oswald
CANNOT hit JFK at frame 313 and then
hit Governor John Connally at frame 324
(less than a second later at 18 fps).

The first JFK wound (throat) was before frame 225,
(the Warren Report says wound was between 210-225)
and the last JFK wound in the temple at frame 313.

Oswald theorists claim that 1 bullet accounts for
Connally's hit (frame 324) and JFK's throat (before 225).
Its clear on the video that
Connally was not hit till 5 seconds after JFK's throat wound.

"Reclaiming History : The Assassination of President JFK": Interview with Vincent Bugliosi
July 8th, 2012

Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" (W. W. Norton & Company; May 15, 2007) is quite possibly the single greatest book ever written on the tragic events of November 22, 1963 and its aftermath. "Reclaiming History," at 1,648 pages sans footnotes, is more a collection of volumes than one single book on the assassination of President Kennedy.
Included are a 320 page minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour narrative of the tragedy entitled "Four Days in November," as well as a 280 page biography of the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Along with Larry M. Sturdivan's "The JFK Myths: A Scientific Investigation of the Kennedy Assassination," "Reclaiming History" is the strongest refutation of the conspiracy mythology that has haunted this tragedy for almost 50 years.
This interview was conducted on "The Leonard Lopate Show" on WNYC-Radio in NYC, NY on May 15, 2007. Vincent Bugliosi (born August 18, 1934) is an American attorney and author, best known for prosecuting Charles Manson and other defendants accused of the Tate-LaBianca murders, and for defending Stephanie Stearns in the Sea Wind murders of 1974.
His most recent books are "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" (2007), "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" (2008), and "Divinity of Doubt: The God Question" (2011). NOTE: For some reason I am unable to fathom this video cuts off the last 15 seconds of the interview. Bugliosi ends by saying: "The Los Angeles Times" said that this is a book for the ages and when I wrote the book that was my intent to write a book for the ages and the "Times" says "'Reclaiming History' may finally move those accusations of conspiracy beyond civilized debate. At last someone has done it - put all of the pieces together. It is a book for the ages."

Connally was not hit till 5 seconds after JFK's throat wound.

Oswald theorists have spent all their lives making this
single bullet from before Zapruder frame 225 match the path of
JFK's throat wound and the back, wrist and leg wounds of
Governor John Connally of Texas.
Yet Governor Connally does not react from his various wounds
until after frame 324, over 5 seconds later (18 fps).

I'm too short for this ride...

but I was old enough to know tricky dick was really a crook.

I was at the counter at Leed's shoe store, buying fetching tiny heel shoes,
now called.. kitten. The radio above the counter said what was happening. I paid and got out of there.

I walked back to campus.

Vincent Bugliosi has completed a massive 1600+ book that's examined everything,
and concludes Oswald acted alone, and there was only a single bullet. . . .

Every year, it seems, on this date somebody posts a thread on this subject.
This year nobody seems to have done so yet, so I nominate myself to ask - -

Where were you on Nov. 22, 1963 when they plugged JFK in Big D?

Almost 50 years ago, two strangers were forever linked by an unspeakable tragedy.

On the afternoon of Nov. 22, 1963, first lady Jackie Kennedy watched helplessly as her husband died at her side. President John F. Kennedy had been traveling with her through the streets of Dallas in a presidential motorcade, when 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have shot him.

But Kennedy wasn't the only victim that day. As the alleged murderer fled the scene, a heroic police officer named J.D. Tippit intercepted him. Oswald shot Tippit four times, killing him on the spot and leaving yet another woman a widow.

As her husband's and Kennedy's death anniversary approaches, Marie Tippit, now 85, has opened up about the sorrow that brought her and Jackie Kennedy together -- and how the former first lady comforted her in her time of grief.

In an interview with NBC Nightly News, Tippit described how Kennedy wrote her a moving letter in the days after their husbands' deaths. The handwritten note reads:

Dear Mrs Tippit,

What can I say to you - My husband's death is responsible for you losing your husband. Wasn't one life enough to take on that day?

I lit a flame for Jack at Arlington [Cemetery] that will burn forever. I consider that it burns for your husband too and so will everyone who ever sees it.

With my inexpressible sympathy, Jacqueline Kennedy

According to NBC Nightly News, this is the first time the heartbreaking letter has been shown to the public.

"That's the thing that you always want," Tippit told the news outlet of Kennedy's gesture. "That somebody can just understand how you feel -- and she did. She recognized that I was suffering too and isn't that wonderful? That we had a First Lady who was so caring for everyone."

After her husband's death, Tippit, who is now a great-grandmother, was left alone to care for her three children. Life has been challenging without him, she says.

"It’s been so much more difficult not to have J.D. there so I could depend upon him," she recently told the Daily Mail. "I miss him terribly. He was a hero. To me a hero is how he lived his life every day."

According to the Associated Press, Dallas police say they will be paying tribute to J.D. Tippit this month in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his death. Police badges bearing his name, number and date of death will be on sale this month.

In March 1963, Oswald purchased a 6.5 mm caliber Carcano rifle by mail-order, using the alias "A. Hidell",[79] as well as a .38 Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver by the same method.[80]

The Warren Commission concluded that on April 10, 1963, Oswald attempted to kill retired U.S. Major General Edwin Walker, firing his rifle at Walker through a window, from less than 100 feet (30 m) away, as Walker sat at a desk in his home; the bullet struck the window-frame and Walker's only injuries were bullet fragments to the forearm.[81] (The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations stated that the "evidence strongly suggested" that Oswald carried out the shooting.)[82]

General Walker was an outspoken anti-communist, segregationist, and member of the John Birch Society. In 1961, Walker had been relieved of his command of the 24th Division of the U.S. Army in West Germany for distributing right-wing literature to his troops.[83][84] Walker's later actions in opposition to racial integration at the University of Mississippi led to his arrest on insurrection, seditious conspiracy, and other charges. He was temporarily held in a mental institution on orders from President Kennedy's brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, but a grand jury refused to indict him.

Many people don't think, or remember, much about the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald killed two men on 11/22/63.

The widow of the other man killed--police officer J.D. Tippit--this week, for the first time, publicly shared the extremely gracious and compassionate letter of condolence she received from Jacqueline Kennedy.
