Shooting Strategy AI Dialogue

[Charles Collins]

Oswald had only seconds to decide whether to take that early shot and the choice he made isn't going to necessarily be the one you would have made had you been in his situation. The only risk to taking that first shot is it would have alerted the protection detail and if they had reacted quicker than they did, Oswald might not have had a clear follow up shot. Again, Oswald could very well have made a different judgement call than you would have. He knew he had four rounds in his rifle and a limited time to fire them so he might very well have decided to get in as many shots as possible in the limited window of time available to him.

Again, Oswald could very well have made a different judgement call than you would have.


Yes, and the same applies to your thinking.

What do you make, then, of the evidence from the witnesses who saw the rifle pointing out of the window after the first shot: Howard Brennan, Amos Euins, James Worrell and Mrs. Cabell?  None of them mentioned seeing any change in rifle position.

I underlined “after the first shot” for emphasis. The change in rifle position may have happened before they looked up there. Plus, if any of them did look up in time, the amount of change in the rifle position may not have been discernible from their positions and/or a detail that they didn’t remember.

Mrs. Cabell did not describe much delay between hearing the shot and seeing the rifle. She said the first shot sounded as the car began its turn at the intersection.  She said she was facing the TSBD and upon hearing the first shot looked directly up and saw the rifle. The Cabell car is behind the VP security car and it has yet to appear at the intersection when the zfilm last shows the intersection at z193.

Here we go with another one of Andrew's "So-and-so said" observations, as if that establishes something as a fact. The truth is that a lot of witnesses in Dealey Plaza gave us lots of versions of what happened. Some of them were right and some of them were wrong. Andrew seems unwilling to look beyond the witness statements to figure out who was right and who was wrong. He developed a crazy scenario years ago that makes no sense and ever since has been cherry picking the witness observations to find support for his scenario. He then takes the forensic evidence and tries to force fit it to his scenario. It is a completely bassackwards approach to the evidence which has yielded his bassackwards conclusion. He will remain hopelessly lost in learning the truth of the JFKA and his silly scenario, which only he believes, will die with him, even if that's fifty years from now.
