“He Ain’t Never Done Nothin’ but Get Shot in Dallas. . .”

by Simon Black Sovereign Man

When the first shot rang out at Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963, most bystanders didn’t even realize that it was the sound of gunfire.

But Texas Governor John Connally was an avid hunter. He recognized the sound, sensed danger, and turned behind him to check if President Kennedy was OK.

Moments later, the second shot was fired, striking Connolly in his back. And as he looked down and saw his blood-soaked shirt, he shouted, “My God, they’re going to kill us all.”

President Kennedy, of course, did not survive. But Connally eventually made a full recovery. And, having achieved near mythical status in the State of Texas, he was re-elected twice more as governor.
