My Re-Evaluation of Johnny Brewer’s Initial Report of December 6, 1963

[Bill Chapman]

A patriotic citizen. It’s amazing how unpopular Johnny Brewer is with the CT community. It makes no sense.                                                                           

Yes it does. See post #24

Oh so now Brennan watched somebody walk down the street?   

Typical incoherent babbling Chapman . . .

I'm not "ignoring" anything.  If you have a point to make about Brewer, then make it rather than JAQ-ing.

I am impervious to your verbal barbs. You may hope that they are damaging me in other people's eyes. Feel free to keep it up. But be careful that you are not eventually seen here as nothing more than a desperate, petty, shallow little Oswald apologist.

When did Mr. Brewer make this statement?

Well, if you had clicked on the link I helpfully provided with the quote, you would know.

And what problem does it cause me? He said he didn’t know which station he was listening to. It may have been KLIF. Or it may have not.

You claimed that “we have no information that he was listening to KLIF”. This interview is information.

Your implying that because he thought it might have been KLIF, it probably was KLIF.

When did I “imply” that?

No. The burden is on the people who claim Mr. Brewer could not possibly have heard such a broadcast.

What people claimed that?

The bottom line is that there is NO evidence of a radio announcement of Tippit’s death in Dallas prior to Oswald’s arrest.

Because the Dictabelt tapes record two policemen talking about just such a broadcast at 1:26 or 1:27. I don’t think either was hallucinating.

But you do think that Brewer hallucinated two IBM men in his shop. Go figure.

So, it must be assumed that such a broadcast did take place,

They said NBC. It can conclusively be shown that there was no such report by NBC, because the recordings exist.

No. I live in the San Francisco area. I listen on a radio to a CBS station, KCBS. They talk about the national news, the local news and the local weather and traffic. I assume the same is true throughout the country. Each major city would have its own local NBC radio station and not just broadcast the same that is broadcast out of New York. How else are people to find out about their local weather and traffic? Go to a competitor’s station?

If an affiliate station was giving a local report, then it wouldn’t be “NBC News” reporting it, it would be the local station. But that’s moot, because the local NBC radio affiliate at the time was WBAP, and as Jerry already pointed out, they made no such announcement either.

There you go again: Ignoring the wailing cop-cars, news of the assassination, a guy observed by Brewer to be attempting to hide, and then conclude that Brewer had no reason to suspect anything.

Strawman. I made no such argument. And Brewer never said “attempting to hide”.

Now show us where Brewer claimed to be doubting his reasons for following Oswald. Seems to me that's nothing but Iacoletti conjecture.

When did I ever ever claim he did?

[John Iacoletti]

I am impervious to your verbal barbs.

You’re impervious to being coherent too.

Yeah, it’s quite a “CT nightmare” that Brewer heard a radio report that there is no evidence of. You’re mighty full of yourself.

MR.CHAPMAN: There you go again: Ignoring the wailing cop-cars, news of the assassination, a guy observed by Brewer to be attempting to hide, and then conclude that Brewer had no reason to suspect anything.
MR.IACOLETTI: Strawman. I made no such argument.
MR.CHAPMAN: Reply #8 July 31, 2020, 03:25:47 AM ("to justify why he was suspicious of this man")

MR.IACOLETTI: Brewer never said “attempting to hide'.
MR.CHAPMAN:  You and your semantics. 'Attempting to hide': Same difference as stepping into the foyer at the sudden approach of cop cars, turning his back, glancing over his shoulder, then leaving immediately after the cop cars disappear. But I guess Oswald was just shy. Btw, Brewer did not say the man was 'standing in front of his shop' as you claim (Reply #8 July 31, 2020, 03:25:47 AM) "to justify why he was suspicious of this man standing in front of his shop"
