It's hard to reconcile CT arguments that the blood fog seen in Zapruder is the outshoot of a shot from the front with claims that the blood fog is drawn-in. How much of the blood fog are you keeping and how much are you rejecting? See what I mean? You have Greer getting splattered at the front left which creates a problem for it being from any entry wound to the temple, or further back above and behind the right ear.

The problem with Hargis getting stung by pieces exiting the occipital wound is he was back and to the left. If your occipital wound is indeed an exit wound its location does not suggest a trajectory towards Hargis. Any look at the drawings of the rear wound show it to be on the right side of the occiput. When you input Kennedy's head being angled 23 degrees left it draws Hargis further and further out of range from a Grassy Knoll shooter almost 90 degrees perpendicular. Hargis would be, however, in range of materials exploded-out under the extreme pressure of a gunshot traversing the pressure containment dome of a skull. If the skull flap seen in Zapruder is real the first direction it would have sent the highest pressure materials would be in Hargis' direction as they were shunted under the underside of the skull and shot towards Hargis as the flap opened up.

The problem with the skull flap seen in Zapruder is it was witnessed by people standing right there. Even better it was "ear"-witnessed as making a thumping "pumpkin smashing sound". The large blood fog exploding-out into air would make such a sound. This is corroborating scientific evidence. Also, the blood fog was accompanied by pieces of skull in a whitish forward-angled jet, including a triangular piece I think very well may be the Harper Fragment. It was also evidenced in the spatter pattern, including gore materials equal to the event.

I'm fence-sitting on the neck shot. Seems a wound from the front in that location would shatter the spine in the neck and be instantly fatal. I'd like a coherent review of the thread fibers in the tie to determine shot direction.

I'm not necessarily trying to exclude a successful forward shot, I'm trying to make an objective argument that the Parkland rear wound could have been from a total head explosion event that also created the McClelland wound. In this case the Bethesda doctors could have misrepresented the rear of the head not to cover-up a forward shot but in order to establish the entry wound of a rear shot instead.

Even if parts of the blood fog were painted-in we still haven't accounted for other photographs that caught it, splatter evidence that backs it, the "pumpkin smashing sound" that was told of by people at the time etc. I believe these are all true to the known facts. Even Fetzer admits a rear shot. He says there were two shots, front and rear, so if we already admit there was a rear shot then couldn't it at least be responsible for some of the blood fog seen in Zapruder? Even if the blood fog was drawn-in couldn't there have been some blood spray that was further enhanced? If it's "baffling" it is so because the evidence makes it that way. That's why it's important to strictly observe the evidence. I don't know what to say. The pumpkin smashing sound conforms more to what is seen in the film and less to the baseball-sized rear wound. I'd be curious how the CT people who claim a small hole entry wound in the front explain the brain splatter material that exited forward and was witnessed by the front seat occupants? And the bone bits clearly seen flying in Zapruder that were then retrieved down-range of their direction (Harper Fragment)? Were they drawn-in too? For all we know the black-out alterations were done simply to make all evidence show a rear shot and nothing else. A simple explanation existing within the complex.
