You took my UFO reference out-of-context in order to make me seem a UFO nut.
What an ultra-sensitive paranoid!

He's referring to the Wiegman and Darnell footage  which he believes shows Oswald standing on the TSBD steps during and shortly after the assassination.

Was I referring to the Weigman and ........?

Answer: No, you are wrong. Thomas, are you feeling ok?

Does Thomas have an empty oxygen tank?

Answer: Unfortunately Yes, and I shouldn't have to remind you.

Whatever-Your-Name-Is,

What footage were you referring to, then?

Don't care to say?

Don't remember?

[In t]he film you're talking about [Wiegman and Couch-Darnell], you do not see Oswald, correct?

You suggested there's "footage [which shows] Oswald was not where the WC narrative attempt[ed] to place him."

IIRC, the "WC narrative" attempted to place Oswald in the sixth floor sniper's nest at the time of the assassination, but you apparently do not believe that's where he was at the time.

The steps were filmed in Weigman at the time of  the first shot, and they were filmed in Couch-Darnell about 20 seconds after the final shot.  Both films show a person at the top of the steps whom many people believe is Oswald.

You don't, or you do?

What other film or photograph shows a (putative) Oswald in a place where he's not supposed to be, according to the Warren Commission Report?

(Do you mean on 11/22/63, or at any time in his life?)

I don't think he's on the step's, so why are you talking about it? Why do you think it's so important?

If you don't think Oswald was on the steps during Wiegman and Couch-Darnell "steps footage," where do you think he was?

In the Domino Room?

In the 2nd Floor Lunch Room?

In the Sniper's Nest?

It's not important??

.......

Why do you feel so important that you think you can make ambiguous "debate-winning" statements that you don't need to clarify for us as you walk away "in victory"?

E.g., "As opposed to footage showing Oswald was not where the WC narrative attempts to place him."

What footage are you referring to above, Whatever-Your-Name-Is?

Don't care to say, because other than possibly Prayer Person in Wiegman and Couch-Darnell, there isn't any (unless, of course, you're a devotee of the Harvey and Lee and ... Gasp ... Two Marguerites Cult), and you're talking about Cubi Point, or some-such place?
