Arlen Specter did not propose the "magic bullet theory"

20. Nope

None of the people are moving forward appreciably in the frames before 313, and in 313, JFK is the only one that snaps forward a couple of inches. (This sequence also shows that the "back and to the left" began two frames after the hit, BTW.)



Furthermore, the forward snap is actually noticeable even watching the film in real time. That's how I first noticed it, and I did that first animated gif I posted to prove what it appeared to show. Then, when I started looking around the web, I found that the forward snap has been quite well known in some circles and it had been precisely analyzed long ago.

As for the blur confusing things, here are the results from four different programs that attempt to remove motion blur:

Focus Magic:


Magic Sharpener:


Unblur:


Unshake:


The forward head snap is quite real and it demands an explanation. Fortunately, an easy one is at hand, and it's perfectly consistent with all the other credible evidence, regardless of five decades of obsessing about an apparently imaginary shooter on the grassy knoll.
