Last time I brought this up on this forum I was told it was because it was an exploding bullet. A shot from the North Grassy Knoll would lead you to believe it would have exited JFK in the back left. The entrance wound to JFK'S right temple, and exit at bottom right of back head does line up better as either a shot from straight on and to the left of JFK, OR South Knoll. When William (Bill) Cooper was working for Naval Intelligence he claimed he came across paperwork saying the driver shot JFK. I think unless we see the original Zapruder film we may never know!
Once again Welcome!!!
JDB4JFK, Thank you for sharing what you know and reason from it. While I am relieved to discover I am not on my own here, I am deeply concerned by the disappointing fact that the people dedicated to discovering and making known the truth and unable to coordinate our findings in a way that filters falsehoods from our knowledge base. More on this below.

Get a watermelon have 4 guys shoot at it from different angles you will see what happen, when I did it believe me we didn’t use exploding bullets and that Mellon sure looked like jfk head.
Slav, I looked at the pictures you posted, showing angles from various positions to JFK's head. That is perfect and helpful for where I am getting up speed on this. You are one of my heroes for today.
I would love to get some watermelons a gun, then find a place to shoot it from various directions. I have several problems using this approach:
1. I don't have a gun.
2. I am not willing to believe the only way for me to find out what would happen in the experiment you suggested is for me to go out and conduct the experiments myself. There must an authoritative and correct record of such experiments already available. I actually found experiments bound to be as good as any I would make on a first attempt. Slav, here is my question to you. If I did the watermelon shooting the it needs to be done, and my own facsimile of JFK's head, how do I get from there to seeing the evidence for all the different shots fired?

You sound like a very objective man who is only searching for the truth of what happened, and I respect that the most when it comes to investigating this crime.
steve manning, thank you for writing that. I am pleased to see that so far, I have not degenerated into the babbling idiot I always become when I stay focused on a subject long enough.

Steve manning and slav, (I am sorry for missing anyone I should mention at this point. It just means I have not digested what you told me.)
I am glad I found you. I really mean that in a big way. I am going to have to lookup the older posts you mentioned and get up speed on the Abort Team. I don't remember encountering the term Abort Team before. I am familiar enough with James Files's claims to follow what you wrote about him, Nicolletti,and the rest of the shooters he didn't know about, but not familiar enough to know for sure whether James Files was in Dealy Plaza for the Big Event. I am not challenging any of that, I just don't have it nailed down, the way I have nailed down the one thing that got me into this: I am very comfortable claiming to know the Lee Harvey Oswald who was charged and then murdered was known to the CIA and FBI prior to the Big Event. I know JedgarHoover could not possibly have known that Oswald was a lone assassin two days after the Big Event when he drafted the memo, in effect, ordering FBI agents to frame Oswald. That crooked event is the probable cause justifying a new investigation. James Files is a person of interest to me personally, but I can pin nothing on yet at this juncture.
Slav and Steve Manning, I want to express special thanks for the whiff of coffee. I am going to need a lot of those. I am not interested in researching matters that already have been investigated. Looks to me like you have done some investigation on how this behaves and have discovered less than 100% dedication to plain reason and facts.
You also have investigated the allegation of a catastrophic shot coming from the grassy knoll, the right end of the triple underpass and a number of other position. What you have laid out is gold. I can see it really good work have done and it has had time to cure and get corrected to a fine level of detail. That make you one of my heroes of today! I mean it.Thank you. I am assuming you have me aimed now at the best information available on the subject presented in an understandable and unambiguous way.
Is there anyone here from the FBI who can acknowledge the availability of this information, along with either an expression of concurrence or a credible rebuttal? *** expecting a long silence on this one ***
