Was Hickey's AR15 in burst mode?

[Michael T. Griffith]

This thread is a complete waste of time. This is another thread pushing a long-debunked, far-fetched theory that only a tiny number of researchers even take seriously. The theory being pushed by the thread's author is an unfortunate mutation of Howard Donahue's discredited Hickey-headshot theory.

Debunked? Discredited?
Show me one piece of credible debunking.
One strike & my Hickey theory is out.
Donahue (& McLaren) somehow missed realizing that Hickey fired more than one shot (they thort that Hickey fired the headshot only).
But offhand i dont recall any researchers that have taken Donahue's single-shot theory seriously.
And certainly zero researchers that take my multi-shot theory seriously.
Plus Donahue had some silly Carcano ricochet theory as well. So did Holland. My own ricochet theory is good. In other words i know more than everyone else around here combined.

     Gotta wonder if the Gordon Arnold story of shots being fired over his head while he was on-the-ground was the result of Hickey's AR-15 being fired in that direction. Also, if this same Hickey firing caused damage to the Arnold general area. This damage then warranted the TARP/TENT that was placed over that same area during the Secret Service reconstruction filming.

The auto burst did not go near the fence.

  SA Hickey is alleged to have stood up from his seated position while also turning at the waist. The AR-15 in his hands would have been pointed in several different directions during this same time period.

Hickey fell forward during the autoburst.
If he was swinging right then the last shot could indeed be at the fence.
But that then makes it difficult to account for the headshot, & the shot that dented the chrome trim, & the shot that wounded Tague.

    Why are you fixated on "the fence"? That general direction is possible, but limiting a shot(s) to the fence is far too restrictive. The TENT/TARP that was placed over the entire area from the Pergola down to The Steps would indicate that this area was damaged and needed repair. Of course, this is the same space in which Gordon Arnold was accosted after a shot was fired past his (L) ear.
