Was JFK done in in Dallas, 11/22/63?
In retrospect, as an average news consumer and going by what the mainstream media offered on November 22, 1963 and beyond, I'd say I don't find it plausible.
As I was only five years old and in California when the assassination allegedly took place, I can't really apply the trivium method rigorously. In place of logic sits common sense. Assessing the plausibility content vis a vis what the media has told us over the years (that includes the dissenting opinion of the Grassy Knoll Society who share but one conclusion in common with the Warren Report/HSCA: That Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas) is all I can do with what knowledge I have accrued over the years about the event. Basically what I'm working through is a critique of the narrative, not the forensics evidence, which, if my suspicions have any validity, do not exist.
One question that bugs me, because it’s largely based on the nebulous concept of mass psychology rather than the cause and effect narrative of a power struggle, is this: According to the back and to the left argument proposed by the Zapruder film, that would place a shooter ahead and to Kennedy's right behind the picket fence atop the Knoll. In the film, which I believe to be tampered with if not an outright forgery, JFK's head appears to explode at frame 312/313. At that moment, Jackie is literally cheek by jowl with her husband. Assuming the world's greatest (criminal) marksmen were used, even then the tiniest variation in aim might have taken Jackie's head off. Did the planners of this Grand Guignol theater piece believe the First Lady, at the time the most famous, glamorous and sympathetic woman on Earth (she apparently lost a child at birth earlier in the year) was acceptable collateral damage? I realize there's no way to pose this question and appeal to logic, but it does baffle me all the same. I'm not sure what Jackie's death or injury would have done to the national mood. The President is by nature of the office a man of violence, at least vicariously. He would logically be the target of violent outrage from America's enemies. Theoretically, getting shot is an occupational hazard. Threats to his family, on the other hand, either were never reported or are only and forever the figments of a hack screenwriter's imagination. If we are dealing with mass mind control, whether he was actually killed or not, a question like this concerning Jackie is valid, if unanswerable.
