Getting back to Altgens 6 (you just KNEW I wasn't done with that photo didn't you), when did JFK's jaw get dislocated? And when did the fingers of his left hand get amputated? For that matter, does anyone recall JFK having no neck and his chin naturally resting on his sternum? If you don't understand what I mean, look closely at the photo again and tell me if you think you see anything odd about JFK.

Think of it. According to WC supporters, it has been just over 3.5 seconds since a rifle was fired 60 feet above the heads of the people you see here on the sidewalk, at Zapruder frame 190, and there is absolutely zip for reactions amongst the bystanders. Not a flinch, not a jump; everybody just stand there and grin at the President going by.
From the Warren Commission testimony of James Altgens:
"Mr. Altgens.I made one picture at the time I heard a noise that sounded like a firecracker--I did not know it was a shot, but evidently my picture, as I recall, and it was almost simultaneously with the shot--the shot was just a fraction ahead of my picture, but that much---of course at that time I figured it was nothing more than a firecracker, because from my position down here the sound was not of such volume that it would indicate to me it was a high-velocity rifle.
Mr. Liebeler.Did you have any idea where the sound came from when you were standing there at No. 3 on Commission Exhibit No. 354?
Mr. Altgens.Well, it sounded like it was coming up from behind the car from my position--I mean the first shot, and being fireworks--who counts fireworks explosions? I wasn't keeping track of the number of pops that took place, but I could vouch for No. 1, and I can vouch for the last shot, but I cannot tell you how many shots were in between. There was not another shot fired after the President was struck in the head. That was the last shot--that much I will say with a great degree of certainty.
Mr. Liebeler.What makes you so certain of that, Mr. Altgens?
Mr. Altgens.Because, having heard these shots and then having seen the damage that was done on this shot to the President's head, I was aware at that time that shooting was taking place and there was not a shot--I looked--I looked because I knew the shot had to come from either over here, if it were close range, or had to come from a high-powered rifle."

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
