Where is Dan Rather?

[Ross Lidell]

The CBS demonstration only showed one person able to accomplish the feat so not much of confirmation Yes you do not want people with a bias if you can avoid it, but surely you are not going to suggest the CBS folks weren't trying  It seems the LN's only like experiments with melons, questionable recreations of simulated tissue etc , are the only preferable kinds of demonstration that are supposed to prove something hopefully scientist will not begin to go with your theorem of just because it has never been done doesn't mean it cannot happen someday

Yes... I believe the CBS "shooters" were trying. Trying to replicate the shooting sequence in less time than Oswald took to fire three shots.

You willing to be a live target?

You've got me wrong. I think it (3 shots from the TSBD with a Carcano) can be done and think that it was done by Oswald.

I think Jesse Ventura (who wrestled Backlund) deliberately screwed up his attempt to fire 3 shots with a Carcano in less than 6 seconds.

CE399 matched to Oswald's Carcano to the exclusion of any other weapon ever made.

The Limo bullet fragments matched to Oswald's Carcano to the exclusion of any other weapon ever made.

We are off topic. But why not: Backlund has abandoned his own "subject".

CE399 matched to Oswald's Carcano to the exclusion of any other weapon ever made.

Great, now all you have to do is prove that the bullet now in evidence is the same one that Tomlinson found on a stretcher at Parkland.


The Limo bullet fragments matched to Oswald's Carcano to the exclusion of any other weapon ever made.

Are you sure about that? But it doesn't really matter, just like the bullet now in evidence as CE 399, the fragments allegedly found in the limousine were given to the FBI by the Secret Service, who allegedly collected them from the limo before the FBI team that was supposed to search the car arrived. So, you really need to prove that the fragments now in evidence were indeed found in the limo.

I think you are going to have a problem in proving either which means that the ballastics are worthless as well.

There have been questions over the years whether or not Dan Rather was waiting on the other side of the triple underpass in Dallas for a film pickup tossed from JFK's motorcade in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. If he indeed was, would he be standing on the left side of this photo?

   Hi Bruce.  First of all, welcome to the forum! 

Secondly, since no one addressed your question, I'll take a shot at it. 

 I have always wondered where Rather was on the western side of the triple underpass, and, it may be that he is among the people on the left side of the photograph, or, he may be standing (out of frame) on the left side of the picture. We can't make out any detail, unfortunately, but since there are several people gathered on the west side of the underpass, he may very well be among the crowds gathered there.

 I am not sure of the name of test that matches the striation patterns that are imparted to all bullets being fired from a singular gun, and have never heard whether that was actually done CE 399, but there is no way you can do that test on small fragments So what test are you referring to? Has someone been listening to the worlds most neurotic person Ken Rahn again?

Only one person eh? What exactly was the feat that the CBS demonstration was attempting to accomplish?

Striation pattern comparison was used to match CE 399 with Oswald's rifle. The same goes for the two large fragments found in the limo.

By Whom? What size were those fragments? At the MLK assassination the bullet recovered from the body was considered two deformed to test and it was basically an entire bullet
