'I'm convinced a second gunman was involved in killing my uncle': Robert Kennedy

[Mc Mike]

162. There is also other footage, shot from the other side of Elm St.

Across from Zapruder. It shows the stopping of the limo, the police cycles slowing down to stay behind the limo, the second car in the motorcade hitting the brakes to avoid rear-ending the stopped limo.

The limo should have sped up when the shots rang out. If it had, the First Lady would have been flipped off the back of it. Instead, the secret service agent runs and catches up to it, and shoves her back in. Then the limo speeds up.

The other angle footage is good just to see the phalanx of cycles slowing to stay behind, after shots were fired. Slowing to the point of tipping. And showing how close the second limo actually came to the presidential limo.

The motorcade route was changed at the last second. Instead of going straight down Main, it took a right on Houston, then a hard (>110 degree) hairpin turn left onto Elm, slowing the limo down greatly and causing it to drive right by the building where the 'lone nut' had brought a rifle in to work. He only got that job after Kennedy's trip was announced, thanks to Ruth Paine.

The Warren Commission apologists, up thread and on other threads, have two conflicting tactics to answer the Zapruder footage of the head shot. Half of them say that Kennedy's head actually snapped forward, like some poster 'proved' up thread. The other half say his head snapped backwards, and due to 'physics', a head shot from behind will snap back toward the shot. You never see them get into a fight over their conflicting statements. They're all too busy agreeing with the W.C. to disagree with each other.
