A day that I will never forget. Changing classes in junior high, we heard the news. For the next few days, we stayed glued to the television. Yeah, we all thought Oswald was the lone assassination. Through the years, more and more truth has come out. JFK wanted to do away with the CIA, Federal Reserve and wanted no part of Vietnam. Someone had other plans, huh? Tapes of Jackie Kennedy released and she believed that LBJ had a hand in her husband's murder. There was a man behind the fence aiming a rifle at the street. How many witnesses have 'died'. I would like to be in Dallas for the 50th anniversary of JFK's murder. Sad day for America!

Watch the driver of the car at the 5:59 to 6:01 of the video. You can see him pull a pistol and shoot.

No, Jackie was instinctively (if that's the word for it) climbing onto the back of the limosine to retrieve a portion of Jack's skull.
No disrespect to you, as I realize that was the OS, but I don't believe that is what she was doing at all. The film was highly edited and I don't think that Jackie O. was retrieving anything (the piece of brain matter is lame*), but more likely (IMO) she was passing something off to the SS
*Trying to grab a piece of skull and/or bone (or brain matter), with the idea of putting him back together, or for any reason actually, would entail critical and logical thinking/planning skills.. which in this event a person would not have had the time to think in such a rational (however irrational) manner. Not even the shock of such a trauma would have had time to set in yet,
In any event, I feel (after watching the film several hundred times) that whatever was being passed and/or retrieved (which I do doubt any retrieval) had been edited and we will never be told the truth.
Even if we were told the truth at this point, who would believe it?
So many lies have been told. So much speculation.
It's all very interesting though, and I found the phone calls between Jackie and Lyndon B. Johnson (after he became president, very intriguing).
All just personal speculation on my part..

I wondered about that myself for years until I read the explanation somewhere.
She was trying to put him back together.
Her bodyguard was the one who, reacting very quickly, climbed onto the back of the limo and threw himself over her.

I still can't get over the fact that Jackie retreated towards the back of the car. Not exactly what you would expect in this kind a situation. Instinctive reaction would be to back away from the direction the shot was fired. Looks pretty clear she knew from where the shots came, and instinctively, backed away, even though it could have caused her more injury. If someone fires in your general direction, you are sure not to start running towards them.
I realize that it's not always easy to determine the direction just by sound (if you don't see the shooter)...but that was an open space...and she was so close to him...she could have felt the force of the impact and her brain instinctively determined the direction.
Than again...it could be just uncontrollable fear...It's not even fun to speculate anymore.
