Back of the head still doesn’t explain his head snapping back or the fact that the wound on the back of his head is visibly larger than the one on the front, indicating that it’s an exit wound. I’m not saying his own dudes definitely didn’t shoot him, but without speculating as to who fired the shit there’s a lot of evidence that it came from the front.
The secret service was just starting to use AR-15 pattern rifles, chambered in .223.
You can see an agent with an AR-15 falling over when the motorcade accelerated, around the time JFK’s head exploded.
The only wound that jfk had that had bullet fragmentation was the headshot, despite the .30 caliber carcano rounds that Oswald was firing being very capable of punching straight through a head, and in fact passed cleanly through jfk’s spine and ribs without deforming or splintering.
The Autopsy report mentions how the bullet entered from the occipital lobe at the back of the skull, and fragmented, causing an exit wound by the ear.
.223 rounds commonly splinter when impacting bones, as they are fairly small and don’t maintain much momentum when they hit hard surfaces.
Because the secret service accidentally shot the president in the back of the head, and it’s really embarrassing to admit that.
Still the mist sensible answer.
*edit: Most. Most. Sigh.
Like pink mist?
