Whose Target was General Edwin Walker?

[Rob Caprio]

The Main/Elm/Commerce/35E intersection is specifically designed to discourage anyone on Main from trying to get onto the ramp to 35E. That's for safety: people aren't going to be turning from Main across Elm to get on 35. For the limo to go from Main to the ramp, the the limo would have to execute a u-turn onto Elm Eastbound, then immediately execute another u-turn to get onto the ramp. The limo would have to slow to a crawl to make that happen.....if it could execute the maneuver at all without resorting to 2- or 3-point turns. Long wheelbase vehicles aren't known for their cornering agility.  If people would just look at a map, or an aerial photo they'd see why a Main-to-35E path doesn't work.

I've always wondered where the 44mph thing came from. I figure it started either with Garrison or Prouty, who claimed that it was some Secret Service requirement. The thing is, in 30 years, I've never seen anyone cough up any documentation whatsoever showing that it really was a requirement at the time (and, yes, I've asked).

So the group that didn't punish anyone for violating rules wouldn't let non-believers of the official theory copy their manual. Say it isn't so.

You can mock Fletcher Prouty all you want, but he was the Air Force's CIA liason and worked on numerous presidential trips in regards to security. What are your qualifications?

There was NO need for those turns. End of story.

OMG, if the vehicles were going 44mph in the following image, they'd end up playing skittles.

You are just looking for a chance to mock. Obviously there are times where you have to go slower. The odd thing is the fact that JFK was an easier target coming down Main Street where the motorcade had to go slower, but in DP the motorcade could have accelerated but that is where he got shot. Go figure.

Hint: It was due to triangulation of fire, thinner crowds and two very unnecessary turns.

I don't see any CTers supporting you in this...

Try to think rationally. Oswald might have gone over a number of times before he finally found Walker at home. But I still maintain that calling the number would be the best option.

Go ahead and tell us a better one.

The truth is the truth if only one person supports it. You LNers are the ones that need support. Your unsupported opinion is duly noted.

It is just as likely and rational to think he had some other reason for having EAW's telephone number in his notebook.

Hopeless.  Imagine people lining up on crowded streets in an American city to see the president and the motorcade sweeping past at those speeds like the Indy 500.   I've said it before but Caprio can't be for real.   He seems to be baiting absurd discussions to see how long they can be extended.

Strawman. We were originally discussing the lack of need for the two turns. Today no one can see the president as they are riding in a covered armoured car.

I don't remember off hand, but it is there as even the WC admitted this.

I'd rather try explaining to a rabbit why we only see one side of the moon than attempt having a rational conversation with Carpio.

Carpio is what happens when you combine a double digit IQ with a second grade writing level and the common sense of a bag of rocks.

What year did Benavides die ?

[Rob Caprio]

I wouldn't want to see the state of the limousine interior and wear on the bodies after taking the 44-mph 90?-turn onto Main, the 70?-turn onto Industrial, and the screeching-tire halt in front of the Trade Mart.

When the LNers cannot deal with the true topic they jump on an ancillary one like it is a lifeline. Not one LNer can logically explain why those two turns were needed.
