The First Shot

[Royell Storing]

  There is ZERO EVIDENCE placing Euins on Houston St or even at the base of the pedestal where Euins claims to have sought shelter after shots were fired. But, he is accepted by the Lone Nut crowd. This equates to a Euins segment on the National Geographic/Max Holland "The Lost Bullet". Total

Why would Amos lie about what he recalls? What he said in the program does not help Max Holland since it doesn't line up to where Max was proposing at z107.

If people cannot remember even where they were, maybe that makes a case for ignoring all testimony in this case since you cannot rely on anything anyone says.

Perhaps other types of analysis that do not rely on testimony would be better.

  Beverly Oliver claims to be the Babushka Lady standing on the (S) side of Elm St. She also claims to have seen a shooter firing from behind the picket fence on 11/22/63. Like Euins, there is ZERO Evidence supporting Beverly Oliver's story. Oliver is routinely trashed as being a liar. On the other hand, the unsubstantiated Euins claim is not only accepted, it is proffered worldwide by LN propaganda machines such as National Geographic/"The Lost Bullet". The scales here are heavily weighted. Have been for almost 62 yrs now.

What's their motive. Did Beverly Oliver lie because of an interest in gaining fame or making money off what she said?  I don't think Amos Euins ever tried to be in the limelight to be famous or make money on his recollections. He mostly stayed in the background over time.

So why would Euins lie about everything to try and fool everybody worldwide when he mostly stayed uninvolved over time?

   Euins was found inside the railroad yard by DPD Officer Harkness and placed on the back of the Harkness 3 Wheel Motorcycle. He was then motored straight to the TSBD. At that point, Euins was placed into the backseat of Inspector Sawyer's car there in front of the TSBD. From there, Euins was then walked over to the jail where he gave his written statement. Euins is on film and photo images inside the railroad yard and then at the TSBD. Just my opinion, but I believe while back inside the railroad yard, Euins was telling "porky pies" about seeing a shooter, ducking from shots fired, etc. Harkness got wind of these Euins stories and before Euins knew it, he was on the back of the Harkness 3 wheel motorcycle zipping toward the TSBD. At that point, Euins was locked into that "story" of his like it or not.
  Again, there are ZERO Images of Euins standing on Houston St. Nobody has ever said they saw Euins standing on Houston St. Toni Glover wearing a bright blue coat was standing atop the pedestal with her Mom. This is the same pedestal that Euins claimed to have cowered below/alongside after the 3 shots had been fired. Glover says that no one was below her and her mom. She said to get down from the pedestal, she and her mom had to move along that concrete structure. She said a man was standing right next to the pedestal preventing her and her mom from directly getting down from the pedestal. She said they did Not want to ask the man to move. Glover decades later went to the Sixth Floor Museum with her story of standing atop that pedestal with her mom. There, she was referred to the curator/Gary Mack. She told her entire story to Gary Mack. Mack with his intricate knowledge of the JFK Assassination, should have immediately delved into Glover's physical position atop that pedestal vs the Euins story. He did Not. This is why I have no confidence in the Sixth Floor Museum. All we ever get from the Sixth Floor Museum is 1 shooter, 3 shots, rinse, repeat.

I just looked at some of Euins' statements, and over time I do see some variations in some descriptions. On his first Sheriff’s deposition that day on the 22nd he did say he was at the corner (Houston and Elm) and heard a shot after the President turned the corner and passed down the street a bit, and he only mentioned three total shots. It seems he vacillated a little over time as to if there were 3 or 4 shots.

It’s interesting that he described the shooting as sounding like an automatic rifle. This is also how John Connally described it even though Connally said the shooting duration was around 10 to 12 seconds.

I mentioned in an earlier post on how I suspected folks right near the limo at the first shot might not be as inclined to look around for the source, but Euins mentions that after the first shot was over, people around his location started looking around. I may have underestimated how many people around the depository did do some head turning for sound localization right after the first shot. Short duration bursts of sounds overhead are typically hard to localize.

Thanks for sharing your comments and perspective.

   Thanks for taking the time to research Euins. Actual research around here is a rare commodity.

Based on the DICTABELT RECORDING, you can see all the shots that were fired in Dealey Plaza
