Before looking, try imagining what you think the result will be.
Mass of broken glass & wine gobs heading off in the direction of the
bullet's travel, perhaps ? The whole wine glass falling over & shattering
in that same direction, maybe?
Well, when you are done imagining, here is the link :-

And generally OT but just because some of these are fascinating -

Those are cool photos!
I'm not sure what this lends to the back-and-to-the-left argument,
however.
As long as this debate has been alive, people have been sharing various
photos and videos (mostly) of bullets a wide assortment of objects to
"prove" their point. It never seems to convince anybody. There is always
some argument about how it doesn't completely represent what happened to
Kennedy's head. Mostly, those are valid arguments because very few of the
photos show bullets hitting anything other than inanimate objects.
Even when videos of actually PEOPLE getting shot, there are STILL
arguments about how it doesn't completely duplicated the Dealey Plaza
shooting. And around and around we go.
The bottom line is this:
1. It is not IMPOSSIBLE for Kennedy's head to do what it did.
2. The autopsy settles the score. He was shot ONCE, from BEHIND.
That's why they *have* autopsies, for the most part.
Another thing that is really cool to watch is SUPER slow-motion of rather
mundane events, like a drop of water falling into a calm pool of water.
What is normally uninteresting becomes fascinating.

Interesting that even a glass of wine appears to cause the bullet to
begin tumbling.

A real autopsy would have been nice. If there had been one it would
have shown that shot in the temple from the Grassy Knoll.

And all the fragments inside the skull evaporated before the autopsy. You
are advocating the Ice Bullet Theory. Even a mercury bullet would leave
evidence of such a wound. Problem is air friction tends to melt ice
bullets before they reach the target. Another problem, how do you keep
them cold until the target arrives?
JB,
Back and to the left is exactly right. The President's body was driven
straight back into the seat cushion. His body bounced off the cushion
then fell to the left into Jackie's lap. Two separate motions. Films
from different angles prove this beyond any doubt. If this physical
reaction was caused by the bullet impact then the shot could not have come
from the GK.
How so? And where would the bullet have come from for your theory?
CJ
Damn! All my ammo melted.
Exactly. Nix, Muchmore, and Moorman all show how much JFK was leaning
to his left prior to the head shot. That isn't as apparent in Zapruder
because his camera was pointing on roughly the same plane as JFK's
shoulders which leveled out the leftward lean. Immediately following
the head shot JFK lurched straight back, almost certainly the result
of the muscle contractions triggered by the severe injury to his
brain. His body is still on the extreme right side when it hits the
car seat. After rebounding off the seat, his body went limp and
gravity took over. He simply fell in the direction he had been leaning
prior to the head shot. Good luck trying to get Blubaugh to explain
any leftward movement prior to that.
I have never said one word about an ice bullet. I do believe in
expoding bullets and there is x-ray evidence of that.
JB
Wrong. He was going both back and to the left when he hit the back of
the seat and then continued left. It could have been and was caused by
a shot to the temple from the grassy knoll. That makes a lot more
sense than that reaction being caused by a shot from the rear.
JB
Here's a real stumper, JB. How did JFK go back and to the left and hit
the right side of the car seat? Take your time. This one is tricky.
Wait a minute. Weren't those x-rays taken at the autopsy? Haven't you been
telling us all along we can't trust anything from the autopsy because if
was so fouled up?What gives?
JB postulates the physical reaction of the President is caused by the
impact of the bullet. On this we all agree. HB then hypothecates the
motion of the body reveals the trajectory of this bullet, the basic
assumption being the bullet influenced the head and torso to move in the
same direction the bullet was moving. According to JB this defines the
vector of the bullet in flight and we merely have to track backward on
that vector to determine the source of the bullet.
Therefore, if we can establish the motion of the torso we can locate the
position where the bullet originated. Many CTs seem to believe this.
Assuming this hypothesis is correct, then we must carefully study the
movement of the President influenced by the head wound. When we view the
films taken from both sides of the Limousine they corroborate the fact the
body goes straight back into the seat cushion, not toward Jackie. As
close as she was there is no contact until the President comes off the
cushion and collapses to the left into her lap.
Based on JB's hypothesis this means the vector must be down the centerline
of the Limousine. The bullet could have originated from either end of the
vector, so which end did it come from? Forward of the Limousine was the
viaduct across the Triple Underpass with 16 witnesses, including 2 police
officers. None of them saw or heard a shot from up there or anywhere
close to that location. That eliminates the viaduct as a source for the
head shot, which means the head shot came from somewhere behind the
Limousine. There are three possible locations as a source for the shot:
the TSBD, the Dal-Tex building, and SS697X. Is there evidence for a shot
from behind the President? Yes, his head tilt forward before the mass of
ejecta bursting upward and forward. According to JB's theory of motion
this would be confirmation the shot could not have come from the front of
or to the side of the Limousine. It could only have originated from
somewhere behind the Limousine.
Sure, except that Decker ordered his men up there to investigate and
several policemen went up there.

No, his head was already tilting before the shot. Everyone else was
tilting forward so according to your theory they were all shot from
behind at Z-312.
Simultaneously. You need SIX SHOOTERS.
And if JB's hypothesis is correct, it should apply to all shooting victims
all the time. Physical laws are not selective. They are not applied
randomly. Therefore, Blubaugh's Laws of Motion should apply to JBC as
well. Since JBC spun "back and to the right" after he was shot, it follows
that he must have been shot from the front left. Can anybody vouch for
what Jean Hill was doing at or about Z222?
Like all WC defenders he is deliberately confusing the issue about an ice
bullet. It was not the conspiracy believers who invented the ice bullet
theory. It was Commander Humes on the night of the autopsy and the FBI
agents. To explain the shallow back wound. It had nothing to do with the
throat wound because they didn't even know there was a throat wound. It
had absolutely nothing to do with the head wound.
Well, at least you didn't invoke the Jet Effect, so you are starting to
learn. You are getting closer to the truth. Your exact explanation is
close. But you need to show how a bullet so high in the brain can
stimulate those nerves so low in the brain.
And at least you admit that he fell back and to the left because he had
already been leaning to the left. That's a good start.
But ballistics gel doesn't.
That's why the President should have had a LEGAL autopsy, not a
cover-up. The original autopsy report said conspiracy.
Very pretty. But the wrong type of bullet. Why aren't you uploading some
of the pretty Doc Edgerton photos?
What is this supposed to prove? Why didn't you instead upload a photo of
the latest solar flare?
I noticed that in this picture the mass of wine and glass did not move
toward the gun following impact. That is the central problem here. It is
true that parts of a target might fly in all directions following impact,
but if the center of gravity or the overall mass moves towards the weapon
then Sir Isaac Newton is proven wrong for the first time in history.
Amen!!!
JB
If the 'Evil Minions of Conspiracy' can make the assassin's, their guns,
and shell casings disappear, leaving no visible trace, I imagine making a
small refrigerator disappear wouldn't pose much of an obstacale.
The real question here is ....
WHO IS MORE DELUSIONAL IN THEIR THINKING ?
a) Ozzie of New Orleans
Or
b) Conspiracy Theorist's who have tried unsuccessfully to exonerate a
'Malcontented Maxist' in order to incriminate 1000's of innocent and loyal
American's ?
Tehehehehe .....
JB reacts to his 'Red Romeo' Oswald killing JFK the same way the
'Mummy' reacts to a bad batch of 'Tanna Leafs' ...."

Indeed.

Shucks.

That high speed physics doesn't neccessarily work as low speed intuition

The point I suppose was that this picture just doesn't show what intuition
would expect. Shoot a bullet through an open door, the door doesn't slam
shut. Bullets don't have the momentum to slam people around very much ,
much as Sam Peckinpah might wish they did. Plus of course I had a
mischeivous feeling that I would just check 2 see if a 'back & to the
left' post would still draw the crowds here :-)
I was watching some documentary about global warming or something on
Youtube the other day, all well & good, & then the narrator sticks up the
Z movie & says 'back & the left !' and was totally convinced that it was
OBVIOUS JFK was shot from the front.
By the way, is a documentary about ducks a duckumentary ? There are more
questions than answers .. :-)
How did Humes think Oswald kept his ice bullet frozen then?
There was a refrigerator on the first floor, wasn't there? I assume it
had a freezer in the top compartment.
Too bad Doc wasn't in Dealey Plaza that day, eh?
I though maybe you missed this one, JB. I wanted to give you another
crack at it.
