It is amazing how many of these Doctors are still alive.

The fact that the records of this case held by the US government still have not been released speaks volumes

I think anyone who knew the truth and stayed silent feared for their lives.

60 years ago today...November 22, 1963. The day Americans innocence, hopes and dreams were stolen from us. We have never been nor will be the same again. God rest his soul.

I'm not thrilled that they title this "ER doctors share new details..." These doctors have said this from the beginning and it has come up over and over through the years. They're trauma doctors and they'd seen bullet entry and bullet exit wounds before. The fact that all the major media outlets of the day refused to acknowledge this and have parroted the Warren Report findings unquestioningly since 1964 is damning. This misleading headline makes it sound like the doctors just started speaking about it--as though they just remembered. That is not the case at all. Interesting how CBS would rather put the full story on a smaller streaming service rather than on the flagship network. Good grief. The fourth estate has been napping for a long time.

I was 10 years old. I remember the entire day and the following four days vividly. I often wonder how different the country would be had he not been assassinated. We will never know. I hope he’s resting in peace 🙏.

True evil was at work that day, been in charge ever since..😢

I had never seen my Mom cry. She pulls out her ever-present rosary and starts pulling beads. My now wide eyed baby brothers had no idea what was going on, but we all cried together. Quaking sobs. Mom's tears just magnified the loss of Kennedy. I poked my head outside and it was as if the world instantly got quiet and forgot to breathe.

I was a month shy of five and I can still recall, vividly, every aspect of that day and the subsequent funeral. When you see neighbors and family coming and going and everyone sobbing it etched an indelible mark on my soul. As an adult woman I can’t imagine what Jackie went through… My God… May they all rest in peace.

The docs are absolutely correct. Even the 8mm film shows JFK’s head going backwards when hit. As every infantryman or Hunter knows targets fall away from the shooter.

JFK was a true American - a man from another time that would have continued to move America and the world in a better direction. Since then it’s all gone to hell. He was a leader. Find a real one today. He was one of a kind.

[StarSeek]

John F. Kennedy was an incredible leader, as was his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, who had those qualities as well.
Unbelievable that they both had their lives taken..

[homolix]

so, not all conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories...

60 years today. And they still haven't done the man justice.

[necroticzxx]

Maybe in another 60 years we can get a documentary about what the fire fighters really saw on 9/11

[jeffcope]

I was a 9th grader in school at the time when I received the news. I never saw so many tears in my life. I'll never forget.

[bayareagrlever]

I, for one, will never forget that day. Tragic.

[ggeorge]

It was a CIA assination plane and simple. Oswald had nothing to do with it, that's why he was also assinated. Listen to one of JFK's last speeches where he says there are nefarious people running the country behind the scenes and before I leave this noble office I will reveal their names. He was dead less than a month later. He also wanted to get rid of the federal reserve and refused to escalate the Vietnam war. I was 21 when he was shot and spent years investagating the case. There were approximately 100 people who loved JFK and did their own investigations and ended up dead, including Dorothy Kilgallen.

Even on a 110 degree summer afternoon standing on the sidewalk looking at the white x in the road will still send chills up and down your spine.

What a shame this was all covered up. Just proves you couldn’t trust our government then and even more so now.
