I accept/accepted the SBT. Bullet damage = perfect. Alignments = perfect. Reactions = perfect. Parkland = ok. Bethesda = ok. Xrays = perfect. Witnesses = a disaster as usual. The only issue should be the headshot. Not a problem for Hickeyists.

Oswald's shot-1 at pseudo Z105 ricocheted offa the overhead signal arm & some lead splatter hit JFK in the top-right-back of his head. Oswald's shot-2 at Z218 was the magic bullet. Hickey fired at least 4 shots. The first shot wounded Tague. The last shot hit JFK in the head. The 2nd-last shot dented the chrome trim. His 4 or more shots missed Jackie by a couple of feet. Hickey at first was possibly not fully aware of exactly what damage he had done. He was lifting hizself up offa his hi-seat, & lifting the AR15 from the floor up & over O'Donnell, & he was swinging around to his right to target the TSBD, & the Queen Mary probly braked & he probly lurched forward onto O'Donnell, & he accidentally sqeezed the trigger briefly, & he then fell back down onto his hi-seat. So, Hickey would not have been looking at JFK during that time. Hickey would have known that his AR15 had fired. The stinking hot casings would have landed in Bennett's lap, & they would have ended up in Hickey's pocket before they got to Parkland. Yes there was a coverup, & everyone (Jackie Bobby LBJ SS) all knew. The AR15 was in service from 10am to 5pm & never saw daylite again.

I can't remember how many nose-witnesses were at Parkland, at least one. But Mortal Error (Donahue & Menninger) & JFK The Smoking Gun (McLaren) mention about a dozen nose-witnesses back at/near Dealey Plaza.

Bronson film shows Hickey holding AR15 near Z312. Bell film shows Hickey holding AR15 soon after. Hickey (holding the stinking AR15)(& with stinking casings in his pocket) stinks of gunpowder at Parkland.

I suppose that any/all surveys are of interest. But calling an attempted assassination an assassination is a poor start.

7. 15. There was a large blow-out exit hole... At the FRONT of Kennedy's head. At the BACK of Kennedy's head. Not sure. This should include At TOP RIGHT of head.

6. 14. The “back, and to the left” head snap seen in the Zapruder Film was caused by... A jet-effect A shot from the Grassy Knoll or picket fece A shot from the top of the overpass or other location from the front of the car Frame removal and/or alterations to the Zapruder Film Not sure. This should include A muscular reaction.

Typical assassination krapp. It was.... (1) a (potentially successfull) attempted assassination, followed by (2) an accidental negligent homicide, followed by (3) a cover-up, followed by (4) the murder of Tippit, followed by (5) the murder of Oswald, followed by (6) a sham 1964 Commission, followed by (7) a sham/stupid 1979 HSCA investigation, followed by (8) this stupid survey. edit... i am ok with this survey if it is merely (8) a survey of stupids.

Weissman in his report shows a small blowup of the 2019 91983 & 91985. 91984 (& all of the other even numbered frames) is only a repeat of 91983 so that the 12 fps Bronson film runs at 24 fps for modern viewers. But in some of the Museum's other Bronson films every second frame is duplicated, i think this is based on converting 16 fps to 24 fps (which is a mystery) (care needed). Anyhow, the small blow-ups of 91983 & 91985 in the report are too blurry to show a head jerk i think. Weissman says that Z305.0 equals 91973.0. If so, & if Z runs at 18.3 fps & B runs at 12 fps, & if Hickey fires at Z312.0, then Z312.0 corresponds to 91981.59. We see Hickey with his bum back down on his hi-seat (sitting on 2 leather cases) holding his AR15 at 50 deg in UYB09 (2017 copy of film) which is 91985 (2019 copy of film)(this part of 91985 is shown in Weissman's report). So, Hickey has from 91981.59 to 91983 to 91985 to fall from his ¾ standing pozzy down to his ½ standing/sitting pozzy. This is say 1.41 Bronson frames (the even numbers are only repeats), to fall down a half head vertically, plus fall back a small distance horizontally. Two Bronson frames is say 2/12ths of a second. Not impossible. It was rotten luck, he was only doing his job.

How did Robin Unger miss 6 of the 26 frames? Weissman tells us that the Museum gave him 26 2017 frames & 26 2019 frames. So, we can assume that that Bronson sequence in mid Elm St had at least 26 frames. But, praps there were more than 26, ie the Museum might have hidden some frames. But lets assume that there were only 26. (1) Praps the Museum's 2017 youtube had 6 frames missing koz the Museum wilfully hid 6 frames. (2) Praps the Museum's 2017 youtube had 6 frames missing koz the Museum accidentally hid 6 frames. (3) Praps Robin Unger missed seeing/finding 6 of the 26 frames on youtube. (4) Praps Robin skipped copying the 6 frames koz the 6 were too blurry. This is unlikely, if true then whey did Robin include his last frame UYB20 even tho this was very blurry. Re (1), would the Museum hide frames that obviously showed the AR15?

One contrary fact & Hickey is out. Give me one fact.

MEMBER SURVEY ----------- I reckon that Hickey fired an accidental auto burst of 4 or 5 or 6 shots with his AR15, & that the last shot hit jfk in the head at Z313, & (say) the first shot bloodied Tague. I am wondering which members agree that ..... 1. Hickey fired at least one shot. 2. Hickey fired the fatal shot at Z313. Anyone not agreeing with (1) or (2) need not answer -- a no answer is a NO & NO vote -- but comments & insults are welcome. SURVEY RESULT TO DATE ---------- I think that 33 members voted NO & NO (see below). Plus one possible YES & NO (Jamey Flanagan)(22). Plus one possible YES & half YES (Denise Hazelwood)(26). And my own YES & YES. SURVEY COMMENTS ---------- 1. Vince Palamara –---- obscene dumb theory. 2. Pat Speer –----------- Hickey would have to be standing at Z313, not seen in Bronson. 3. Micah Mileto -------- its stuff like this that makes me seriously worry that one day….. 4. Larry Hancock ------- a truly bogus shooting scenario -- needs to be buried. 5. Lawrence Schnapf -– stupid – needs to be buried. 6. Ken Davies ------------ fantasy – no basis in fact – no evidence supports it. I will vote for anyone who can kill this thread🥸 7. Michael Davidson --- a shot or shots came from Daltex (Michael originally thort the book was ok, but now thinks there is a lack of support from witnesses). 8. Jeremy Bojczuk ------ ridiculous nonsense. 9. Joseph McBride ------ preposterous – a distraction. 10. Mark Knight ----------- no insider has ever come forward. 11. Denny Zartman ------- the Smoking Gun doc is naturally satisfying to lots of folks. No one believes this theory except you. 12. Tom Gram -------------- complete waste of time – should be allowed to die. 13. David Von Pein -------- absurd – the theory is bogus. 14. Chris Davidson -------- shows giff of Bronson showing Hickey seated. 15. Ty Carpenter ----------- Hickey theory is trash. 16. Pete Mellor ------------- just to get a reaction – the book Moral Error should be avoided. 17. Gerry Down ------------- did not vote – commented re Hickey's high seating pozzy. 18. Ron Bulman -------------- this thread was a Mortal Error. 19. Karl Hilliard --------------- a strange poll. 20. Sean Coleman ----------- not convinced marj. 21. Derek Thibeault ------------- I don't believe he fired anything. 22. Jamey Flanagan ------------- (1) possible YES ………….(2) NO. While I certainly don't think Hickey was responsible for the headshot, I do think it is a more plausible explanation than the magic bullet theory, lol! If I were the FBI or CIA, as soon as Hickey died I woulda took that theory and ran with it and wrote it all up as a big accident as kind of a limited hangout. I woulda been like, hey, you got us, we've been covering up but here's why and it's this innocent explanation and we had to lie about it to save this man's reputation. And many conspiracy guys woulda bought that and fell for it. Several would not have but many would. 23. Chris Davidson ------------- Too many variables --------- I am predicting that Hickey doesn't do what you imagine him doing. It's not too difficult following his movements from the beginning, especially after he turns from looking in Z's direction to straight ahead. The flesh/face tone is quite obvious. Maybe enlarging/rotating the film will help. 24. Sean Coleman ----------- Marjan, you give me the confidence to voice my theories of Mr.Z shooting JFK with a weapon concealed in his camera, the triple overpass train driver shooting JFK with an ice bullet and Jackie O shooting JFK with a pistol concealed in a lamb chop puppet….keep up the good work! Rock n roll!! 25. Michael Griffith ---------- I answer No to both survey questions --- You're talking about Howard Donahue's theory, a theory that is now championed, with some modifications, by Denise Hazelwood. Donahue, a firearms expert, recognized that the ammo that hit Kennedy's head did not behave like the ammo that Oswald allegedly used. 26. Denise Hazelwood ------- I am putting Denise down as a YES & half YES. 27. David Josephs ------------ There is no one there buddy.... Hickey is not standing up... Maybe take a few days and read thru this forum... give you a much better idea of what occurred than wild speculation... 28. Karl Kinaski ------------------- This is a clownworld thread, isn't it? I heard JFK slipped on a banana peel in Dallas.- 29. David Andrews ---------- Off topic, but for those who posted videos: perhaps the greatest JFKA song before Dylan, The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC. I'm convinced the "pumpkinhead" reference was inspired by Z-313. You are not a better threadkiller than me. I can get the votes. 30. Evan Marshall --------- An AR-15 is a semiauto rifle and is incapable of firing a burst of rounds. I currently own three and they are weapons designed and capable of firing only one round at a time. Well, perhaps but it wasn't fired anyway and did all the bullets you claim were all end up in JFK? Nonsense. I've shot thousands of rounds out of AR-15's. M-16's, and M4's and the round never landed in my lap though I did once get a hot 5.56 case between me and my body armor in the middle of a drug raid that left me with a nifty scar! 31. Matthew Koch --------- Still doesn't beat the Professor Brothers.. 32. Joe Bauer --------- It seems to me that Hickey didn't raise his automatic rifle until after the JFK head shot. And Clint Hill himself was in the line of fire when Hickey started blasting away...correct? 33. Michael Crane ----------- The dictabelt or whatever they used to hear gunshots didn't even pick it up. That would be a big no from me Dog. That's right up there with Greer shooting JFK. Those dogs don't hunt. 34. Norman T Field ----------- Perhaps you could just stop wasting our time with this disproven theory that does not align with other known facts? 35. Donald Willis --------- I find the Hickey story intriguing, mainly because an LN on alt.assassination.jfk, Claviger by name, endorsed it, some years ago. He still considered himself an LN because, even if the Hickey story were true, Hickey was not part of a conspiracy. Like everyone before him (such as Dale Myers), Claviger made the trajectory fit his theory. I couldn't quite get HOW, but it made me question all the other official and unofficial trajectories. And, yes, not incidentally, Claviger also read my 12 points re DPD Insp. Sawyer, and agreed that he came off as somewhat of a loon.

James W. Courson Larry Sneed University of North Texas Press Chapter View Citation Additional Information In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: JAMES W. COURSON Solo Motor cycle Officer Dallas Police Department "We were taught in the Marine Corps on the rifle range to count your shots, then on the police department the same thing on the pistol range: count your shots! That's one reason that I know there were three shots, and they probably came from the same gun..." Jim Courson served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War and joined the Dallas Police Department after his discharge in 1954. Two years later, in 1956, he became a solo motorcycle officer and was assigned to escort the Kennedy motorcade on November 22, 1963. The Kennedy motorcade was much the same as many others which I had escorted. We went to work fairly early that morning and spent a lot of time getting our equipment shined and polished since we always wanted to look sharp on those escorts. At that time, we were riding Harley-Davidsons, which was a tradition with the police department. We were given our assignments that morning through our sergeant which had been coordinated between the Secret Service and the police department. It had been raining that morning, so we had to wear our yellow slicker rain gear out to the airport. Just as we pulled in to Love Field and just as the plane arrived, the sun came through making for a beautiful day. We then stripped off the rain gear and put them in our saddle bags. 128 NO MORE SILENCE After the President had met with many in the large crowd, we all left the airport, made a left tum on Mockingbird Lane, then a right on Lemmon Avenue. There were people scattered all along the route. In the early stages of the escort, they were not big crowds, but as the sirens were heard, businesses let their employees out and it appeared to be a good tum out. It was all fairly routine for us. The motorcycle officers were concerned with the traffic, with side streets and driveways, and making sure that no one ran out into the motorcade. Tactical officers and patrol officers were stationed at all the intersections including all railroad trestles and overpasses throughout the entire route. There was a lot of security out that day. No traffic was moving except for the motorcade. The motor jockeys in the escort were all experienced and were graduates of the Motorcycle Training School. When they got through with you, you were ready for just about anything. The newer, less experienced men were stationed further back in the escort. The ones in the front and around the President's car were the more experienced. The route itself was fairly straight, with the exception of a few turns, and was designed for convenience and quickness. It would have been shorter and safer to have gone a more direct route between Love Field and the Trade Mart, but Kennedy wanted to be exposed to as many people as possible, so the route included the downtown area which was out of the way. By the time we arrived in the downtown area at Harwood and Main, many of the City Hall employees and policemen came out to watch. On Main Street, the crowds were very heavy, three or four deep. All was going well until we had just made a right tum from Main onto Houston Street due to the limousine having to make the sharp left tum up ahead on Elm which slowed the motorcade. We had to stop, thus I was sitting on my motorcycle in the left lane on Houston looking more or less at the Book Depository. That's when I heard the shots! I couldn't tell exactly from where the shots came because of the echo pattern, but there were three very distinct shots. The first two were fairly close together then there was more space between the second and third. I could tell that they came from JAMES W. COURSON, MOTORCYCLE 129 one location, but really I was concentrating more on the President and seeing if they needed help up ahead. People near me were just astonished: there were surprised, shocked looks. They didn't know what had happened. I looked to my left and tried to see down across Dealey Plaza what was going on then sped to catch up with the President's car. At that point, we forgot about the rest of the escort; we were just concerned about the President. We had orders if...

Did Ellis do a U-turn on the on-ramp? Courson caught up on the on-ramp, & led to Parkland.

PENN JONES T H E CONTINUING INQUIRY VOLUME IV, NUMBER 9 APRIL 22, 1980 THE STOP-AND-GO MOTORCADE by Gary Mack When retired Dallas Police Officer Earle V. Brown told me the motorcade stopped on the Stemmons Freeway access ramp (see March 1980 TCI), my first thought was verification. From all written information, including the Warren Commission volumes, there's no direct indication whatsoever that such an event really happened. The TCI printing deadline was moved back some 10 days to accommodate all I knew at that time. Afterward, I called Brown again to ask if he was absolutely certain about what he saw. He said he'd been thinking about it for the past week and there was no doubt - the motorcade, with the Kennedy limousine in front, came to a halt for some 30 seconds. Brawn didn't remember any specifics - there may have been one or two motorcycles, he couldn't recall anyone getting out of a car, one of the men had what appeared to be a big automatic rifle. But the two men in the front seat of the limousine were talking and gesturing, and that's why Brown concluded, right then, they didn't know the location of the nearest hospital. Secret Service guidelines, of course, required that knowledge. 3 I'd heard that Jesse Curry can be reasonable with critics and remembered that his wife had called our radio station two years ago to say thanks for treating her husband fairly on our talk shows. So, seeking verification of Brown's story, I called the former Dallas Chief of Police. Since this was to be our first discussion, I decided not to press the man too hard for answers. He's in the phone book, I dialed the number and Chief Curry himself answered. If he recognized my name or the radio station, he gave no indication. He did agree to answer a few questions. When asked if his car was ever behind Kennedy's, Curry denied it by repeating his Warren Commission testimony that he led the motorcade to Parkland. When I next told him some "newly discovered" films and photographs showed he pulled to his left in the Triple Underpass, slowed down, then speeded up and cut in between JFK and his Secret Service escort car, Curry still denied being behind Kennedy. There was no real reason to argue the point, so I asked about the speed of the motorcade out of Dealey Plaza and on up to Stemmons. Curry said they were accelerating "pretty good" until the motorcycle officer pulled up and they talked briefly. He didn't remember the officer's name, even when I mentioned Martin, Chaney and Jackson. "I leaned out my window and said to him 'Were those shots?' and he said 'Yes and the President's hurt pretty bad.' And I said 'Well get us to the hospitall' " I asked where this conversation took place and he said "somewhere just before Stemmons." %'he big question, how fast were you going, made him pause before answering "Probably '^tive or six miles an hour." When told of Officer Brown's account, Curry denied they stopped, but revised his speed estimate to "pretty slow, maybe two to three miles an hour." Before I could ask him to think about it more carefully, Curry unexpectedly volunteered "You know, they didn't even know where the hospital wasi" "There have been rumors about……… …………….. *>“In the telephone conversation not long before he died Curry confirmed to me that another police officer had witnessed [second hand testimony] the motorcade came to a virtual halt on the *access ramp to the Stemmens*. Patrolman Earl Brown was on the railroad overpass which spans Stemmons (not the triple underpass) and saw the cars come to a complete stop for nearly 30 seconds as it approached him. He told this information to Earl Golz of the Dallas Morning News, and repeated it to me when I called him for verification. Unknown to me was that Jim Bowles, in his reconstruction had already allowed for 15-20 seconds for the temporary stop in addition to the time it took from the Plaza to the access road. Curry told me they slowed down for two reasons: to find out from motorcycle officer if anyone was hurt, and to inform the Secret Service of the location of the nearest hospital.” NOTE: The access ramp to the Stemmons FWY is some 700 feet beyond the Pavilion where Zapruder filmed the JFK head shot – and some 400 feet beyond the triple underpass. Earl Brown was 400 feet to the right on another railroad overpass. In reading Vince Palamara’s ‘Fifty-nine Witnesses: Delay on Elm Street’ , I see enough controversy between “the car slowed down” to “the car stopped momentarily” to conclude that choosing which testimony is correct is a matter of the bias of the person attempting to make a case one way or the other……………. The following info re the motorcade stopping on the Stemmons onramp is from the www & forums. DPD Officer Earle Brown, on the railway overpass above Stemmons, told Earl Golz in March 1980 that he saw the limo and 4 other cars stop on the Stemmons on-ramp for at least 30 secs. Brown later repeated his story for Gary Mack. Officer Doug Jackson told Mack in 1981 that he and Chaney raced after the lead car, caught up with it after about 30 secs, and Chaney spoke through the window to Curry. Curry told another researcher in 1979 that Chaney caught up with him as they began climbing the Stemmons on-ramp. Curry told Mack that he slowed down in order to find out if anyone had been hit, as he was unaware that anyone had been hit until Chaney told him. He also said he then had to tell the limousine driver, Secret Service agent Bill Greer, how to get to Parkland Hospital, before issuing “Go to hospital” order. Curry told the Warren Commission that he did not transmit on Channel 2 until after he spoke to Motorcycle Officer Jim Chaney. DPD Officer Courson said the lead car had slowed sufficiently for him to catch it on the Stemmons access road, and Courson was 100-120 feet behind McLain in the motorcade, and McLain was himself about 140 feet behind the Presidential limo when the shots were fired. Courson was approx. 80 yds behind JFK at Z-313. The following info re the motorcade stopping on the Stemmons onramp is from the www & forums. DPD Officer Earle Brown, on the railway overpass above Stemmons, told Earl Golz in March 1980 that he saw the limo and 4 other cars stop on the Stemmons on-ramp for at least 30 secs. Brown later repeated his story for Gary Mack. Officer Doug Jackson told Mack in 1981 that he and Chaney raced after the lead car, caught up with it after about 30 secs, and Chaney spoke through the window to Curry. Curry told another researcher in 1979 that Chaney caught up with him as they began climbing the Stemmons on-ramp. Curry told Mack that he slowed down in order to find out if anyone had been hit, as he was unaware that anyone had been hit until Chaney told him. He also said he then had to tell the limousine driver, Secret Service agent Bill Greer, how to get to Parkland Hospital, before issuing “Go to hospital” order. Curry told the Warren Commission that he did not transmit on Channel 2 until after he spoke to Motorcycle Officer Jim Chaney.

Courson was approx. 80 yds behind JFK at Z-313. So, it makes sense that the JFK limo stopped for at least 30 sec on the onramp, to get directions from the SSA agents on Queen Mary, which also stopped (probably side by side). Both limos turned off their flashing lights & sirens so that they could converse (Hoffman). Using their radios would have been quicker, but would have been public & embarrassing. Why did Curry (in the lead car) stop on the onramp & ask Officer Chaney if anyone had been hurt? Curry could have driven up to the rear of the 2 limos & asked them directly. But i suppose that Curry did not suspect that JFK & Connally had been shot, Curry was probly only worried about the general public etc getting shot. JFK & Connally ducking down out of sight was of no concern. Anyhow, it appears that the guys in Queen Mary were no wiser re the best way to get to Parklands. So, Greer & Kellerman must have hollered to Curry & Co when the lead car finally reached the limos. Curry then probly told Greer to follow the lead car, & the lead car probly took the lead again (Curry was the driver). And it makes sense that the JFK limo was stopped for at least 30 sec.

Courson (on his motorbike) caught up to the jfklimo, ie he confirms that the motorcade stopped on the Stemmons on-ramp for 30 sec. And SSA Hickey in Queen Mary pointed his AR15 at Courson. Was this before or after Hickey pointed the AR15 at Ed Hoffman (who was up on the Stemmons overpass). Jimmy Courson, retired Dallas motorcycle officer, dies at 81 By dallasnews Administrator 10:51 PM on Feb 14, 2014 CST LISTEN During his 25 years with the Dallas police, Jimmy Wayne Courson rescued people, roped calves and played a part in history — all from his motorcycle. On Nov. 22, 1963, he escorted the limousine carrying the mortally wounded President John F. Kennedy to Parkland hospital. Courson, 81, died Monday of heart disease while recovering from a broken hip at Beacon Harbor Rehabilitation in Rockwall. Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Rest Haven Funeral Home in Rockwall. The family will receive friends for 90 minutes before the service. He will be buried in Rest Haven Memorial Park. Breaking News Get the latest breaking news from North Texas and beyond. “He loved being an officer,” said his wife, Sue Courson of Rockwall. “He loved his men, and his men loved him.” Courson was born in Como, where he graduated from high school. In 1951, he joined the Marines and served during the Korean War. He was once pinned half in and half out of his bunker after it collapsed during enemy shelling. He joined the Dallas Police Department as an apprentice in 1954 and became a patrolman in June 1955. The young officer discovered his passion for motorcycles and became a motorcycle officer in September 1955, said his son Kris Courson of Helena, Ala. In November 1955, he married Martha Sue Carter. In 1962, he was nominated for the outstanding traffic award for his 1,912 arrests in 1961. Two of his 1961 arrests involved one motorist at the same Oak Cliff location. On both occasions — 11 months apart — the man was driving a stolen Corvette. In July 1962, Courson swam fully clothed against the current to rescue a motorist whose car had washed off Hillcrest Road. In 1963, he was a motorcycle escort several cars behind the presidential limousine. Amid the confusion after the shooting, he accelerated to the president’s car. “He said that when he got up to the presidential Lincoln, one of the Secret Service men actually turned toward him with a machine gun.” The agent turned away after recognizing Courson as a Dallas officer. “He led the car to Parkland,” his son said. “He said he almost crashed his motor because they went over the railroad tracks. He was speeding excessively with the car. He actually left the ground and almost lost control.” At Parkland, Courson helped the first lady get out of the car and assisted others to get the president out of the vehicle, his son said. He later escorted the hearse from Parkland to Love Field. Courson resisted suggestions that he seek promotion to lieutenant, his son said. “Dad just didn’t want to do it; he didn’t want to be stuck at a desk job,” his son said. “He wanted to be out on patrol with his men.” In 1975, Courson used his motorcycle to help round up calves on Grand Avenue that had escaped a wrecked cattle truck. He retired in 1979 but wasn’t through with law enforcement. About six months after he retired to a corporate security job at LTV Corp., Courson followed a suspected drunken driver he spotted until officers arrived. “He just felt that that was his duty, even as a retired policeman,” Kris Courson said. In October 1981, Courson spotted an off-duty officer with his gun drawn entering a downtown jewelry store. When Courson entered the store, the off-duty officer was holding two suspects at gunpoint. Courson took a gun off one of the suspects and searched for additional robbers. He received the involved citizen award for assisting in the arrests. “He never stopped being a policeman,” his wife said. In addition to his wife and son, Courson is survived by two daughters, Kathy Dunn of Dallas and Cindy Bietendorf of Rockwall; another son, Kyle Courson of Flowery Branch, Ga.; 11 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

The motorcade stopped on the on-ramp. And all of the wordage re chaney & curry & lawson & Co is fodder for the stupid. Hoffman said "we" instead of "i". This supports my theory that he had a passenger (in his falcon). Or, he gesticulated with a stammer. Hoffman said that he had a camera. But, it appears that he did not use it. This supports that he left his camera in his falcon during those seconds.

Back in 1963 the AR15-601 had SAFE SEMI(ie 1 shot per sqeez) AUTO (ie shoots while sqeezed)(until magazine empty if desired)(ie 20 i think). There was no (say 3 shot) burst back then. Praps BURST came in for the 602 (karnt remember). I don’t know for sure about the 2 leather cases, they could have been for the shotgun or tommy gun or AR15 & ammo (all of which were on Queen Mary) (& possibly on the jfklimo too). I am presently looking at my (very blurry) copies of the Bronson footage frames, to look for the headshot etc, & to recalculate the timings (relative to the Z footage). I will be back.

Re the head jerk, i will have a good look. I did have a good look at the happenings in Queen Mary, but i dont think i ever put the jfklimo under the microscope. I will be back.

The fact is that, before & after, Hickey is sitting (half standing) on top of 2 leather cases with the top of his head level with the bottom of the standing agents' heads. And, along the way, Hickey briefly rises a half head. It is impossible to fully stand in the narrow space between his seat & the jump seat unless he shimmies over to the area between the jump seats (not important), or praps unless he gives O'Donnell a good hard shove (not important), or praps unless he puts his right shoe on his seat (not important). Firstly. Hickey duznt need to be fully standing at the time of the headshot. Hickey could shoot JFK while sitting low on his seat, if he held the AR15 on his head. Hickey could shoot JFK while sitting on the 2 cases, if he held the AR15 at chin height. Hickey could shoot JFK while raised a half head, if he held the AR15 at chest height. Nextly, if the say 4 shot auto burst was from say Z305 to Z312 (ie 8 Z frames), & if Hickey during that time stumbled forward onto O'Donnell, & then fell back onto the 2 cases, he could achieve that there falling back in a few Z frames, ie during the period Z312 to say Z316. And i say that the Bronson frame that is supposedly at Z313 is actually at Z316.

Weissman in his report to Bonar Menninger wrote that he eyeballed the film directly using 20X, & inspected the 2017 scan & the superior 2019 scan (provided to him by the SFM), & he could see no visible evidence of the head shot (ie splatter etc)(at Z313) which was about halfway through the Bronson footage (ie that sequence of 20 Bronson frames).
