I think the assassination may well have been considered a 'suicide mission ' given the level of protection afforded JFK from the cops & SS; The shooter would surely have realised that they weren't going to take long to figure out where the shots came from and swarm all over the building. This is what makes me wonder why the assassin would waste precious seconds trying to conceal the weapon?...unless, of course, he didn't...

But how much time would be gained? As it turned out, less than an hour?...

According to the official story, an assassin fired from the 6th floor of the TSBD; the assassin fled the "sniper's nest", leaving behind boxes with prints on them and spent cartridges on the floor. During the escape, the assassin took the time to hide the rifle behind some boxes. Why would he bother hiding it? It's not as if the rifle had the assassin's name written on it or anything... Why not just leave it in the sniper's nest with the spent cartridges? Or take it with him in case he was approached by a police officer or whoever? Apparently, he still had a bullet to shoot someone with...

I presume the scope is offset to allow for operation of the bolt? Looks like the iron sights can still be used?

They just plain forgot...yet another easy mistake to make...😂

Was Marina's English reading & understanding good enough at this time for her to be able to navigate her way through all these postal forms?

Wow, really? Is that all true?

What type/colour jacket is he wearing in that pic?

I can't help thinking the way "Lee Oswald" is written on the envelope looks to me like it's been done by someone trying to copy Oswald's handwriting...it just looks too deliberate, neat and doesn't give me the impression that it's naturally spontaneous or "free-flowing"...doesn't quite have the same "lean" to the writing either...very precise on the line...

Didn't Frazier testify that the aiming was high & to the right? The all look low and to the left?

Maybe draw a line on the pic?

What would be good, I think is if, say, a movie producer with the resources available, to commission a mannequin to JFK's height and build etc., mark the mannequin with the (supposed) positions of the bullet entry & exit wounds and, assuming (as we seem to be doing) that the bullet passed through JFK in a straight line, drill a hole through the mannequin at the marked points. The mannequin can then be used to correctly represent what CE903 is purportedly representing and see how that looks. No need to impale any living (or deceased) people David (I'm not sure why you're so obsessed with impaling people?). Just a matter of finding such a person with the resources who is interested enough in the truth, I guess.

Seems like he thinks the HSCA doctors were!!!😁

That's why I suggested a mannequin be used!?!?... CE903 does not depict the true bullet path (as you have conceded) and would require more than "...a few millimetres..." of movement to match the true bullet path - or the WC interpretation of the true bullet path, I should say.

Bowley said he picked his daughter up from the R. L. Thornton school at 12:55. A quick look on Google maps, using a car, shows that the journey time is pretty much 15 minutes.

CE903 Shows the path of the bullet above the right shoulder of JFK. A mannequin should have been used with holes in the bullet hole locations and the rod passed through those holes. CE903 does not show the true path of the bullet.

How reliable was the dictabelt? Did it always start/stop reliably based on signals? There's a "Long pause of about 15 seconds" noted in a transcript - what's that? Some more information: The Dallas Police Department's Channel 1 Dictabelts: The Chain of Possession (jfk-assassination.net)

Would still be good to know what type of clock was being used in the dispatcher's room - analogue or digital. If digital, then the time stamps could always be 59 seconds out either way just on that clock, if analogue, it may be worse as it is likely to be less accurate, the times could me estimations by the reader and, depending on the clock location relative to the person reading it, parallax error could also be introduced.

Strange, I just clicked on the link & it worked and I don't subscribe...

Duplicate as I thought this hadn't worked!

Bumped for current interest... https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/docid-32265274.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjh24nc2or5AhXJiVwKHezEAz44ChAWegQIGRAB&usg=AOvVaw3BxOrGzQsnG_ljtOW15F7a

9Emphais mine) What did LHO reportedly say he took to work on the morning of the 22nd?
