JFK'S Assassination

...hat he would be part of an infamous assassination and paid healthily for his troubles. Instead he was framed as the only killer, all other evidence destroyed, covered up, or faked. Take the Warren Commission, they state that one single bullet struck Kennedy at a downward angle then went upwards and exited his throat into Governor Connelly and changed direction a second time to enter Governor Connelly’s wrist and thigh. A magic bullet maybe? And yet Governor Connelly’s account of the event was “I am convinced beyond any question of a doubt that the first shot that was fired did not hit me, then I was hit.” So does this not disprove the magic bullet theory?

The last shot is again from Oswald, this enters Governor Connelly’s, going through his shoulder and into his wrist and thigh. I believe this is true because Governor Connelly heard shots before he was hit, and he was turning at the time so would have slightl...
