Connally wounds


William Paris

Recommended Posts

Unless I misunderstood the Landis info...  it's more than possible that bullet was the back wound.... If there is a "specialist" in the Connally wounds some input/info would be appreciated...

IF..

One shot from the back hitting JFK in the back

One shot from the back missing

One from the front throat wound

One from the front head shot...

What about Connally's wounds... is that the 3rd shot from the TSBD?  Taking the magic bullet out of the equation, what is the most logical theory regarding Connally's wounds... one shot? more? from where?

 

Thanks

I like the (not very popular) idea of a SW window shooter hitting Connally as witnessed by Arnold Rowland….

Theres also a sketchy pic of a face in the window with a corresponding ceiling light visible above his head, not near my books and can’t find it to post tho…..Because I’m in Las Vega$!!!! ……losing money like a money losing fool…

I don't know if I qualify as a "specialist" but I have read in detail everything I could find in the public record regarding Connally's (JBC's) wounds.

My conclusions: 

1. JBC was hit by a direct shot, not one that passed through any other object. And not by a tumbling bullet. (See small round hole in the rear of JBC's assassination day shirt.)

2. JBC was struck from behind and above. But also may have been struck by another missile to his wrist. 

3. The bullet passed through JBC, taking out four inches or rib, evidently tunneling along the rib. The bullet met a lot of resistance doing this. 

4. By his testimony, JBC was "pushed forward" by the bullet that struck him. That happens about Z-296. 

5. JBC testified that he heard the first shot, and turned over his own right shoulder to look for JFK, could not see him, and then began to turn forward,  when he (JBC) was struck. The Zapruder film confirms this narrative. I do not believe JBC made a 180-degree turn in his chair after being shot through the chest, which is the WC and even the HSCA version. 

6. JBC was not struck by a bullet that struck JFK first. 

7. JBC's wrist was also shattered by a bullet. The oddity about this is he was struck in the wristwatch (dorsal) side of his wrist. Try holding your wrist so that a bullet could exit your chest and then enter the wristwatch side of your wrist. JBC's surgeon (Shaw) thought it likely JBC had been struck by another, separate missile in his wrist. JBC's surgeon questioned the wrist surgeon, asking if there was a way the bullet could have entered the volar (non-wristwatch side) of JBC's wrist. The wrist surgeon said the cloth fibers and other details proved the bullet entered the dorsal side. Thus, it is possible JBC was struck by two bullets. 

8. Many, many witnesses describe a "bang-bang" cadence to the last two audible shots. 

Occupants of the presidential limo stated bullets were entering the cab in "flurries" or as if from automatic weapons fire. 

In brief, it seems very unlikely, indeed all but impossible, that a lone gunman, armed with a single-shot bolt-action rifle, fired all the shots at the limo on 11/22. 

There may have the use of rifles with silencers, or of pneumatic weapons that day. In addition, nearly simultaneous shots could have been heard as one shot.

But where do you think the shot came from? There seems to be too many shots and not enough shooters….

Well, JBC was indisputably struck from behind, so we know there was at least one gunman above and behind JBC. 

It appears JFK was struck from behind as well, his back wound. 

There are intelligent people who will tell you JFK was struck from the front, and equally intelligent people who say only from behind. 

My best guess is multiple gunners in the TSBD, or possibly the Dal-Tax building, and a diversionary gunner on the Grassy Knoll. The gunner on the Grassy Knoll had a snub-nose .38, which is loud, and can smoke quite a bit depending on ammo used, and if the barrel has been oiled.  The diversion worked well. 

The odd shot to JBC's wrist might have come from the GK. 

Indisputably, JFK's head and body move back and to his left suddenly during the JFKA. From a gunshot? It sure looks like it. From the Grassy Knoll? 

My only solid conclusion is there had to be more than a lone gunman armed with a single-shot bolt-action rifle during the JFKA.
