A Photographer's Story: Bob Jackson and the Kennedy Assassination

Bob Jackson was a photographer with the Dallas Times Herald and followed President John F. Kennedy's motorcade from Love Field through downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963. He was a few cars behind President Kennedy's limousine as it passed through Dealey Plaza and was one of only a handful of eyewitnesses to see a rifle protruding from a sixth-floor window of the former Texas School Book Depository. This video includes audio from Jackson's oral history interview in which he describes what he saw from the presidential motorcade that day. It was produced as part of a 2009 exhibit at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza featuring his photography, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of Lee Harvey Oswald being shot by Jack Ruby.

    If Oswald did assassinate Kennedy then why didn’t he shoot when the limo was driving up Houston toward the rifle? Instead the gunman waits to shoot, through foliage, when the limo is driving away from the rifle down Elm and using one of worst rifles ever made with a defective scope. Kennedy was assassinated by a well coordinated professional team of gunman. Elm Street was the perfect environment for multiple teams to kill Kennedy like a fish in a barrel. The fatal shot came from the front right position. Physics doesn’t lie… governments do.

    We don't know the exact reason he waited, but there is a chance he wasn't ready or that if he had shot then, then they would have seen him and sped away, so he waited until the people in the motorcade couldn't see him. Also, Oswald having a cheap rifle is a reflection on Oswald himself. He was working a crappy job and left his wedding ring with his wife, meaning he was about to get a divorce. It's exactly the kind of rifle someone like that would have. Another thing is his first shot (that hit a traffic light) came just as the car made it's turn onto Elm, meaning the car was at the top of the street, far away from the grass knoll. So if it was a co-ordinated shooting, surely they would have waited until he got further down the road before taking the first shot. The reason Kennedy's head appears to move back is because his chin was resting on his rib cage and so when the force came from behind, his head essentially rebounded backwards, giving the illusion that a shot came from the front.

    So he saw a rifle, but didn't think to take a photo of it? Another thing I noticed is at 1:06 there is a secret service agent holding onto the back of the limousine, but then a few seconds later he gets off or is told to. Does anyone know why he would leave at that specific time? Would it not have made more sense to stay on for another minute until they reached the underpass?

    This is all happening in mere seconds, with a lot of confusion too (he says he wasn’t even sure what the sound was at first). Everyone’s an expert when they know all the facts in hindsight. Being in the moment at such an event I’m sure is completely different. Plus, it’s 1963! The camera wouldn’t be able to get much detail at that distance. Also, SAFETY! Ahhh, gunshots are being fired. Let’s TAKE PICTURES OF RIFLES IN WINDOWS. Or, let’s duck for safety or figure out what the heck is even happening.

    Bob forgot to mention here that the rifle he saw had a foot long barrel, and not the tiny 4.5 inch barrel on the Mannlicher-Carcano. Malcolm Couch described it as being the same length, as did Amos Euins, who told the Commission he saw "14-15 inches of pipe". Three people who saw a rifle barrel that didn't come close to the so-called "Oswald rifle". This was crucial evidence that was IGNORED.

    @@9Ballr Allow me to lean on Schrödinger's Cat a little: Why can't both be true? If one of the tasks of that day was to kill JFK, and the other was to set up Oswald, a rifle similar to his was necessary to use, and leave behind. Bullets fired from that rifle struck Kennedy, but Connally was not hit by the same bullet and a missed bullet was dug up from the median that was kept out of evidence. These two bullets came from a different rifle, from inside the TSBD. This is the rifle with the long barrel. This is the rifle Rowland saw, and the barrel Euins, Jackson and Couch saw. And I believe this rifle was owned by Warren Caster, which he collected from the TSBD the day after the assassination.

    Rubbish! Another amateur photographer had filmed the entire shootings from a part of the road they hadn’t gotten to yet. This video of his CLEARLY shows Kennedy being shot in the front of his neck, both of K. hands go up to his throat area and Jackie starts leaning into her husband, looking with concern at what K. was doing with his hands to find out what was the matter with him. The second bullet then came about 5-10 seconds later ALSO from the FRONT and Kennedy is then shot directly in the skull and his body is forced backwards with extreme damage causing Jackie in total fear, to clamber behind her onto the back part of the car. The then Government lied about everything and even discredited the Drs in Dallas Parkside (or Parkway, I can’t remember which one it was right now! but it’s easy to search.) who did the autopsy and got criticised. The whole thing was a set up. Awful as Kennedy seemed to have been a really good guy too. I’m not American, just watched a very interesting documentary on English tv.
