The article suggests that Landis' come to Jesus moment came after reading Josih Thompson's Six Seconds in Dallas. Three years ago Thompson wrote another book, Last Seconds in Dallas in which he and an audio expert examined recently released magnetophone recordings. The inescapable conclusion is that there were two gunmen.

- philistine 3y agoThe second gunmen doesn't require a conspiracy to explain. Oswald fired two shots: one in Kennedy's back which did not fully penetrate, and one through his neck which hit Connally. Then, in the ensuing confusion, a Secret Service agent following the motorcade accidentally discharged his AR-15 in the back of Kennedy's head, killing him. The agent who pulled the trigger on the ground doesn't even need to realize he had done it; it's possible to accidentally discharge without realizing it.

- philistine 3y agoI don’t want to turn into a conspiration loonie but it might have been easy to make that little mishap disappear. The quality of the secret service back then was nothing compared to what it is now. I mean one of the reasons the secret service agent in the article didn’t come forward was because he got drunk with other secret service agents the night before the shooting and he didn’t want it to surface.
