Like the other sane members have rightfully told you, we aren't discussing two identical rifles fresh from the factory but decades old surplus military weapons with an unknown history. Hahaha!
So you're doubling down on your desperate argument that the sixth-floor Mannlicher-Carcano discharged GSR vastly differently than the Carcano used in the Oak Ridge test. I ask again, Why do you suppose that not even the FBI floated that silly argument? And why do you suppose the FBI fought so doggedly to avoid releasing the raw data from the Oak Ridge tests? You keep ducking these questions.
You still haven't read Pat Speer's exhaustive chapter on the Oak Ridge test and Oswald's paraffin cast, have you?
"The other sane members"? Yeah, uh-huh. You mean the tiny band of SBT true believers who still peddle a theory of the shooting that is rejected by 2/3 to 3/4 of the Western world, according to every poll taken in the last 20 years.
BTW, it's deliciously ironic that your latest ploy is to equate "Oswald did it" members with extreme 9/11, Moon landing and Flat Earther conspiracy theorists,
Well, actually, no. I said that SBT believers remind me of people who believe in 9/11 Truther claims, fake Moon-landing claims, and flat-Earth claims. Not all WC apologists insist the SBT is an "established fact."
who all commonly believe that photographic evidence was faked,
As if criminals in other cases have never faked and altered evidence! Plus, most of you guys believe that the HSCA acoustical experts, along with Blakey and Cornwell, faked the acoustical evidence. Most of you believe that Dr. David Mantik, a respected radiation oncologist and physicist who has published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, faked his optical-density measurements of the JFK skull x-rays. Most of you believe that Dr. Michael Chesser, a board-certified neurologist with over 20 years of experience, faked his optical-density measurements of the JFK skull x-rays in order to support Dr. Mantik's allegedly fake OD measurements.
reputable experts lied and instead rely on specific outlier "experts" who specialize in completely different fields.
LOL! This is just comical. For years, your side's leading expert on the shooting (Lattimer) was a urologist! When the HSCA's acoustical evidence came along, your side relied on a rigged panel that did not even include a single acoustical expert, while the HSCA experts were acoustical experts who had been recommended by the Acoustical Society of America!
Was Dr. Joseph Dolce, the Army's chief wound ballistics expert, the guy who supervised the WC's wound ballistics tests--was he an "outlier expert"? Dolce said the SBT was fantasy.
Was Dr. Milton Helpern, one of the world's leading forensic pathologists, an "outlier expert"? Helpern said the SBT was bogus.
How about Dr. Robert Kirschner, one of the ARRB's forensic experts? Was he an "outlier expert"? Kirschner concluded the SBT was "very dubious."
How about Dr. Douglas Ubelaker, another one of the ARRB's forensic experts and a forensic anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution? Is he an "outlier expert"? He told the ARRB that the damage seen in the autopsy photos indicates that a bullet struck the skull from the front or right front.
And on and on we could go.
Take a good look in the mirror Griffith because you are a carbon copy of those extreme freaks. It's almost as if you have a vested interest in being a tinfoil hat wearing Loon? Hmmm? JohnM
Yet I'm not the one who's peddling a version of JFK's death that 2/3 to 3/4 of the Western world rejects. You are.
You and other SBT believers here are the ones who act like tinfoil hatters. Just look at how you folks have reacted to the most sophisticated, detailed SBT trajectory analysis ever done, an analysis done by a leading forensic engineering and digital reconstruction firm that has worked on other high-profile cases. I refer, of course, to the Knott Laboratory SBT analysis.
It is downright comical to see you folks summarily dismissing the Knott Lab SBT analysis and even accusing Knott's experts of being dishonest, incompetent, clownish, etc., etc. You've reacted to the Knott Lab SBT study the same way that Flat Earthers react to satellite photos of the Earth, the same way 9/11 Truthers react to the scientific studies that destroy their lunacy, and the same way that Moon landing deniers act when confronted with the mountain of evidence that proves we landed on the Moon.
You've also exhibited a Flat Earther, Moon-landing denier mentality in response to Dr. Mantik's historic scientific findings on the autopsy skull x-rays, even though a number of other experts have endorsed them, including Dr. Robert Livingston, Dr. Arthur Haas, and Dr. Michael Chesser.
Or, just look at how you guys keep dancing around the fact that the tie had no hole in it, that no metallic traces were found around the shirt slits, and that there was no fabric missing from the shirt slits. These facts mean game over for the SBT to any rational, objective person.
