Challenge to Cyril Wecht
« on: March 31, 2023, 04:57:04 PM »
Sit in a slowly-moving convertible and let an ex-Marine sharpshooter take three shots at you with a MC (using real ammunition) if you think it's such a piece of harmless junk. Does he seriously think it's impossible to kill someone with that "joke" of a rifle from a distance of 88 yards?

Why not open up the challenge to anyone who might think the Carcano not worthy. We might have a few less hair-brained nay-sayers around.

With the hands flapping furiously and Borsch Belt/Barnum delivery, Wecht delivers showman-appeal to eager chumps who hang on his every word of conspiracy.

I'm just wondering when a coroner became a weapons expert. Stay in your lane, doc.

Where does he say it's impossible to kill someone with the MC?

How can you kill someone with an "instrument of love"? He clearly doesn't believe that "surplus" rifle killed Kennedy, so time to put his skepticism to the test.

Same way a urology doctor becomes a weapons expert, I guess.

The urologist became a "weapons expert" by acquiring examples of the weapons in question and shooting them and testing their effects. What has Wecht done along the same vein?
