The rifle was seen poking out the window as the shots started and stayed there for the duration of the assassination as the sounds were heard by the bystanders....of which the VAST majority stated 3 or 2 or 3 shots......

It is therefore highly likely that the shot that struck JFK came from the SE corner window up on floor 6 of the TSBD and therefor had an entry velocity of some 2000 ft per sec....and unless that bullet strikes the spine (which it did not) it will indeed exit soft tissue other than by virtue of some bizarre and almost impossible reason ....

Yes there is conjecture there, but it is certainly extremely well reasoned and sound IMO.

Nothing you said shows that the bullet that struck JFK's back was a 6.5mm traveling at around 2,000 fps. As I stated, you are, of course, basing your opinion on speculation.

Care to try again, Patrick?

Show the evidence, for example, that there wasn't another shooter shooting from behind...

Oh, you don't have any evidence... :lol:

But I'm sure you're well aware of testimony & statements putting a shooter in the Southwestern side of the TSBD...

The FACTS THAT WE HAVE simply don't support transit, and it takes quite a bit of faith to believe that a bullet struck JFK in the back (particularly since the evidence shows a T3/T4 location) and exited the throat. Witnesses at the autopsy didn't believe it.
