Stable Zapruder Film

Recently on the net, the famous Zapruder Film appeared in stabilized form. The Zapruder Film is (the only?) footage of the Kennedy assassination at Dealey Plaza 1963. This version of the film has the car stabilized in the shot to focus on the incident.

I'm posting about this because the Kennedy assassination still seems to be a popular topic for conspiracy theorists. From the evidence I've seen and heard, it was one nut with a gun who killed Kennedy. The Conspiracy Theory episode of Penn & Teller's BULLSHIT proved it was possible for an untrained gunman to fire 3 accurate bullets at range in less time than Oswald. They also show how the head moves toward the shooter, not away. The evidence of a conspiracy or a second gunmen doesn't impress me yet. Maybe someone has something I haven't seen?

It is graphic, so if you're squeamish, maybe steer clear.
