    I'm pretty convinced, by history, that whatever is sealed ...isnt going to be any more conclusive that what we've already been fed/told...
    It was just a way of closing the door with some finality to get people to move on and stop asking questions...

      Well the files are due to be released October 26th, 2017, so we may know more sooner. But as systemnt said, I wouldn't hold my breath for closure.

Guy didn't have an intact organ left dead before he hit the ground. I wasn't alive for the Kennedy assassination but i do know bullets do weird things.

        Sorry about your friends. Yes, you are correct, bullets do funky things when they strike a body. Two years ago, I shot a doe at 125 yards with a 260 Rem. Granted, different bullet than the 160 gr round nose (I was using a Sierra 120 gr Pro-Hunter) but the terminal ballistics were inexplicable.

        I shot her in the base of the neck on her left side, some bullet/bone passed straight thru leaving a 1.5" exit but there were 4 more severe exit wounds of differing locale and severity as follows:

        1. Front-center chest, 1" exit
        2. Left scapula, destroyed 1/4" exit
        3. Low stomach near milkers, 3/4" exit
        4. Right side 5th & 6th ribs, 2" exit

        That was one bullet (yes, a hunting bullet) but they do crazy things. The "Magic Bullet" theory is laughable. That theory also lives under the impression that only one bullet did the damage. Too much room for hyperbole for me adhere to it. They may convince some people but this guy isn't one.

          Man, thats wild. I've had a neck shot where there was an exit on the other side of the point of entry, but the bulk of the slug rolled down the spine and ended up coming out of the top of the back, behind the shoulders.

            Bush senior, Clinton, and the CIA are behind it all.

              Bullets do weird things, but they do not end up undeformed in perfect condition after going through multiple subjects/objects, so they can match the shooter's gun for ballistics & make it a closed case...whole deal is creepy.

                There is a documentary that I recently found on Netflix, where a couple of ballistics experts try a run at solving it.

                The FMJ bullet in the Carcano, didn't deform when shot into pine 1x4. Totally bizarre.

                It was called NOVA: Cold Case JFK

                  If you're referring to the bullet "found" on JFK's gurney in Parkland Hospital, you are correct. I would venture to say, the 160 gr RN FMJ fired from that cartridge would almost never stop in the human body at that range. It would pass thru and continue on, perhaps on a different trajectory.

                  I also expect no new revelations with the release of the documents. I fully expect much of it to be redacted and blacked out. It still provides us a topic of discussion here on TBH.

                      The laser studies prove it was Oswald. Everything lines up perfectly.

                      Kennedy's back brace kept him upright for the fatal round.

                      Fun to play the conspiracy game though. Here's a cell phone video I captured from a guy who was there that still peddles memorabilia at the grassy knoll.

                        Assuming it was Oswald, and Oswald alone, the other question is why. Was it mafia related? If so, then Ruby's involvement would make sense, as he was a club owner in Dallas and rumored to have ties to the mafia. Just curious what those that have done extensive research think the motive was behind the shooting.

                          Acted alone.

                          I guess he figured he would make the best contribution possible to the communist cause by shooting the president.. Had he had access to a nuke he probably would have nuked DC.

                          As for the shots, with the right motivation I'm sure there are a couple hundred TBH members who can make those shots and few of us already have.

                            I just saw the date. It's not new, but I just saw it a month ago.
                            Out of everything I have ever heard this makes the most sense

                              and then sometimes there is no reason other than some jackwad just didn't like the person that they killed.

                                So you think Ruby shot Oswald because he didn't like him?
