The thing is, Oswald, in order to get a shot had to know the route. That part of the route was not planned. In addition he had to get a job there and get to that floor, which is clearly not the best place to shoot from and thru a leafy tree. The scope focuses out minor branches.. but it is dicey. The ricochet shot off the pavement, and the shot fragment that hits a bystander, the wounds to Connelly after Kennedy is apparently hit twice, points to 4 shots, not three. And no smoke drifting from the window of the 6th floor TBD. The smoke is seen around the fence on the left of the parade route. hmmmmmmm... A rifle bullet hits with perhaps 3200 foot lbs force at that range. It is enough to push back a 15 lbs head at about 1.3 feet per second when it hits, assuming 1/2 of its force is transferred to kinetic energy of the body it hits over a period of 1/3000 of a second. The body's reaction is about 1/10 to 1/4 of a second later or 2 to 4 frames of the Zapruder film later, is much stronger and in the opposite direction usually.

A possible reaction is the defense reaction of hands to the head, (A defensive reaction by Kennedy is seen as his hands rise together to his throat. He yells out he has been hit. Obviously not in the head or throat. Then he is hit with blood seen on the right of his head. This is never shown clearly in any movie or subsequent examination. Just a gloss over.

Another classic reaction is crouching/covering of the midsection. Many of these reactions would have been nullified however by a head shot and subsequent shock. Head shots usually initiate relaxation, not muscular contraction.

The Zapruder film has never been shown in slo mo with each second of reaction shown and the physics explained. Really not a good job of analysis has been done here by anyone. What are they trying to hide or to show? If you study each frame for about a minute, blown up, the answer is there. It cannot hide.

Some people argue that the shots were easy enough and the other shooters theorized would be very exposed .. and the bullet was FMJ, so it was preserved .. but would not have left fragments -- not an assassin's preferred round.

Ditto the hotel shot of JER. A lot of arrangments had to be made in advance. This kind of co-ordination is not easy for an individual.
