Last Second in Dallas: A Granular Account of the Final Second of the Assassination

Josiah's analysis of the blood spatter is outstanding. So many questions still remain.

What always gets me is how close Jackie Kennedy came to being hit and killed that day. Just as the massive head wound appears, she's putting her face right in front of JFK's. That bullet or those bullets just barely missed her.

This is one of the best analysis that I have seen, of the JFK assassination . Congratulations Mr. Thompson for your hard work.

Very interesting ! Thank you very much for sharing.

It is still so very sad today...

The truth of what happened that day in November 1963 will never be known.

Good job!!! This is what I believed happened.

Regardless of who shot from behind, Oswald, Wallace, and or someone from the Dal Tex bldg, or another place from the TSBD, somebody delivered the kill shot from the front

Reading his book now ("Last Second in Dallas") - fascinating book. I'm glad the SFM allows him to speak there as they usually don't accept narratives that go against the official WC (lone gunman and magic bullet theory) narrative.

I’ve just started to read his newest book.

I must say, it is refreshing to see this kind of material being presented by the SFMADP.

Fascinating presentation. However, the theory presented assumes that ONLY the shots can cause the movement of the debris from the head wound. But we know that the president's head snapped forcefully back and to the left rear, exactly the direction of some of the debris. Moreover, that rearward movement of the head itself can be explained by a neuro-muscular reaction to the bullet wound to the brain. A shot TO the right front would have produced an exit wound in the left or rear of the head and that simply was not found at the autopsy. Moreover, it's clear from the Zapruder film itself that the wound on the right side of the head is a massive exit wound, not a neat round little entrance wound. Plus, where did this 4th bullet go?

The most overlooked and I feel important evidence of a second shooter on the knoll area is the blood splatter as the limo was slowed to 2 mph when the head shot occurred. Bobby Hargis was the motorcycle officer on the left and rear and was the only officer or agent covered in blood and brain matter and follows the direction of impact and direction of force

33:07 This information relates to the shot from diagonal front to back at Z342-343, not the Z313 shot.

I think some fire came from the "Dal-Tex Building" as well.

I have an issue with Thompson's description of the Harper fragment. The Harper fragment was occipital bone. Check of Larry Rivera's work. He has actually created a 3D model of the fragment and it fits right in the mid back of the skull where the bump is.

I think he should bring ballistics knowledge to this. People don’t have much experience with light objects penetrating at high speed, they have experience moving heavy objects at a slow rate of speed. Speed and energy react differently when you invert these variables.

24:10 These people were subject to two different splattering events. At Z313 the material exited out the right side of JFK's head, as seen in live action by Bill Newman and Emory Roberts, which is why Roberts knew JFK was dead and therefore called back agent Jack Ready. That splatter was in the general direction of Jackson and Chaney. At Z343 the splatter was to the rear and to JFK's left, which caught everyone else on the list, viz. Clint Hill, Hargis, Martin, and Sam Kinney.

“Blew my mind”. Unfortunate turn of phrase.

Amateur question: By nature of being on the overpass, would Holland have had a clear perception of each shot? It would seem not being down in the buildings and further away, the echoes would be less. Plus he wouldn't hear the reverb from the shots off the overpass and back toward the buildings since he was on top of it. That would lend credence to him being able to pick up the last 2 shots being so close together as two distinct shots, particularly from 2 different types of guns.
