(11,064 posts)Medical evidence, for example, shows bullet fragments in JFK's skull.
The bullet found on the stretcher in the hospital shows that a bullet used to shoot Kennedy is a full-metal jacket one. Such bullets are designed to not shatter upon impact like a frangible bullet.
It is inconsistent with science to believe that a single shooter (1) shot JFK with a full-metal bullet that hit multiple bones and remained relatively non-deformed and (2) shot JFK with a second full-metal bullet that separated upon impact.
Should we try to get an explanation as to why one bullet remained relatively non-deformed and the other shattered in a way to leave bullet fragments in JFK's skull? Some Oswald-acted-alone theorists would say no. Some would not only disregard science but insist that no one else consider science either.
A majority of Americans do not believe the authorized version. The poll numbers vary from year to year. At no time have most Americans believed the authorized version. None of them are required to believe the various straw-men positions attributed to them by the Oswald-acted-alone theorists.
If science supported the Oswald-acted-alone theorists, they would rely upon science and not be opposed to anyone applying science to an inquiry.
