They had another one recently where they recreated the "magic bullet", accurately placing human models (made of gelatin, etc. to properly reflect density) in the exact position of JFK and Connolly at the time of the shot. The trajectory was almost perfect, with the exception that the shot ended up bouncing off of "Connolly"s wrist instead of embedding.
It used to irritate me - now I just laugh. . . I'd be watching some show on the
History Nostradamus Channel and absolute, irrevocable evidence would be presented debunking totally whatever silly premesis was being promoted that week. Then the narrator would say, "Yes, it appears from the detailed experiments carried out by firearms experts and Ph.Ds in physics that there was only one "magic" bullet involved that fateful day in Dealy Plaza. But despite almost universal acceptance of the "single bullet" theory by both experts and most sane laymen,
some still say the experiments aren't really conclusive; that in addition to Oswald in the Book Repository, Woody Harrelson's dad was behind a fence on the grassy knoll, firing away at Connolly while Oswald took out Kennedy.
Unexplained Mysteries will continue to pursue the case, until a satisfactory conclusion is found."
With logic like that, it is not surprising that 70% of Americans believe Stone's
JFK comprises the definitive facts of the case, and that the Warren Commission, the US Committee on Assassinations, etc., were just elaborate government cover-ups. Every time this comes up, I am reminded of the
terrific vignette from Slacker, where the "Conspiracy A-Go Go" guy is trying to pick up some girl by showing her his JFK collection, and quoting to her his stupid arcane theories about the case.
As HH would say, "Go ahead. Wallow in your ignorance."
