    So Oswald didn't kill him, he was shot by a secret service agent by accident. Fascinating documentary that!

      My reference to magic bullet is the round that hit JFK's neck and Gov. Connally.

      Yes I know, and has been proved for a few years now ( thanks to 3d computer recreations) to be not very magical at all, merely a straight shot with a full metal jacketed round. The governor testified he was turning to respond to Kennedy's cry of 'I've been hit' when the second shot hut Kennedy, and went on to go through the governor in a straight line trajectory.

      The theory of the final shot coming from a Secret Service rifle has been around at least since 1992 in a book called "Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK" by Bonar Menninger. (The book did say that the previous shot, which hit Kennedy in the neck, was probably fatal.)

    So Oswald didn't kill him, he was shot by a secret service guard by accident! D

  8. DJM Dave

    I don't know, I just don't know anymore. Where has the phrase 'the customer is king' gone? Standards have really slipped, that's for sure!

      If the customer is no longer King, then perhaps there's been a revolution and he's lost his head! Where's the Committee for Public Safety when you need it?

    4. DJM Dave

      DJM Dave

      Where indeed :-)
