Your reading comprehension seems to be as bad as your ability to properly weigh evidence. Who said the pigeons waited 3 seconds after the shot to fly off the roof. She turned in time to see the birds in flight. It's unlikely Marrion Baker saw the pigeons takeoff either unless he was looking at the roof when the shot was fired. Why would he have done that? He likely heard the shot, looked up and saw the pigeons in flight.

Rosemary Willis stopping at Z199 fits perfectly with her looking back to the TSBD a few frames later. I can't imagine that should would look back while she was still moving forward.
If the shot was just before z150 as you suggest, the pigeons were long gone by z202 when she turned her head. Pigeons are remarkably fast and quick to take flight. See:

You've put so many feathers in your cap you have a warbonnet now. The only thing you've aroused in me are the chuckles I get from reading your insane theories. There was no getaway car. The fact that the car in question doesn't appear in the Wiegman film isn't evidence of anything. You have assumed the DPD reacted to the car but provided no evidence of such. I have pointed out three very basic items for which you have provided ZERO evidence. You have assumed all of these things to be true. Despite the challenge, you still can't provide evidence. What exactly should anybody give you credit for. Dreaming up a goofy theory out of thin air? If I did that, I would be obliged to do the same for all the other CTs I've engage with over the years who have also cooked up some insane theories with no evidence to support them. I will credit you for taking goofiness to a whole new level.

   Your acceptance of the CAR NOT being on the Wiegman Film is a Huge 1st Step "Daniel Son". You don't realize it, but You have actually taken 2 Steps. By accepting that the CAR was NOT on the Wiegman Film, You are also accepting that this CAR was in Motion down the Elm St Extension while shot(s) were being fired at JFK. You just had your very own, "Wax On, Wax Off" moment. You are Now on your way. Enjoy the journey.

Fortunately, the forum is blessed with Dr. Payette, who not only has read reams of psychological and sociological literature about the conspiracy-prone mindset but also (1) shares a mild case of that mindset and (2) slept in a Holiday Inn Express as recently as last August.

It's called - really! - the "complexity bias." Studies have shown that many people, including many not otherwise prone to conspiracy thinking, choose incorrect complex solutions over correct simpler ones. Even animals do this!

I see this every day when I take my dogs for a walk. My female will sniff around and zigzag back and forth for 30 to 60 seconds looking for a place to pee while I'm thinking, "JUST PICK A SPOT ALREADY!!!". I have no idea why she is so particular or what makes her finally settle on a spot. My two males don't have that problem. They go in the same place every day, a short distance from the porch.

 The brain has a propensity toward creativity. In those with a conspiracy-prone mindset, there is an exagerrated desire to find order in chaos and to connect dots until "everything fits," even if it doesn't really fit.

The irony is that the WC already gave us a scenario where everything fits.[uqote]

There is also an exagerrated desire for control, to think events and the world in general are explainable. It's kind of ironic that these desires for order and control often lead to preposterous, fantastically complex "solutions," but there ya go.

The elephant in the room - or on forums such as this, anyway - is that those of us who are at least semi-rational are attempting to have rational discussions with people who are so far into the conspiracy-prone mindset lunatic fringe that rational discussion is literally impossible. Hence, we finally crack and scream "SHUT THE F UP AND TAKE YOUR MEDS, WILLYA!!!" (or at least I do). If the lunatic fringe had at least SOME awareness that "Yeah, I'm nuts, but this is kinda fun, isn't it?" I could play along - but they are inevitably the most grimly serious, self-important of all.[/quote]

I've noticed that. I don't have that problem. This is a hobby for me. I have no illusions that anything any of us say here is going to move the needle of public opinion. I do this for amusement only. 30 years from now no one is going to remember a thing I have written in the past 35 years in online forums.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, who knows about the mysterious cars driving in and out the railroad parking lot, probably nothing.

The important part of this interview, captured on film (~5:55 forward) is Lee Bowers describing the cadence of shots. The "bang....bang-bang" cadence. Bowers knock-knocking on the table is far too rapid for shots from a single-shot-per-bolt-action rifle (the M-C). 

Dallas Sheriff Seymour Weitzman also said the second two shot reports were "almost simultaneous," and Secret Service man Kellerman said the shots arrived in a "flurry," while Gov JBC said he thought the shots were fired from an "automatic." Some of these guys were veterans, and other law enforcement officials---people familiar with gunshots.

This all lines up with JBC being shot ~Z-295 and JFK at Z-313---as it appears on the Z-film.

The LNT SBT theories do require some suspensions of disbelief.

   "POW.......POW/POW"! This is how an adult Amos Euins described the shots on Max Holland's "The Lost Bullet". Euins even manually demonstrated the cadence of the shots as he judo chopped down on the pedestal he hid behind on 11/22/63.

  I like how popular Dem's like Green, always have a Dem willing to challenge them for that free ride as a U.S. Congressman. As Brad Pitt said in "Fury" (2014), "Best job I ever had"! Those guys in DC are NEVER in DC.

The GOP redistricting in Texas has already succeeded in removing too of the dumbest members of the House of Representatives. First Jazzy Crockett was forced to run a losing campaign to be the Democrat nominee for the Senate when her district got carved up. Now Crazy Al Green has lost to a fellow Democrat incumbent in a runoff after their districts got combined. Adios to both these stooges.

No wonder you're such a [you-know-what].

No wonder you're such a [you-know-what].

You seem to have one of the more acute cases of TDS that I've seen.

By any chance are you related to Rosie O'Donnell.

Very hard for me to see how Oswald "knows he's been framed" unless he at least knows his rifle is in the building. That's really the only thing that "frames" him. So how does he know it's in the building - does he think he's brought it for "show and tell" like we used to do in second grade? Unless he knew "Oh, my God, they have framed me as the assassin of JFK!" his actions make no sense. The CT scenarios where the conspirators removed the rifle from the Paine garage and planted it in the TSBD, or Oswald was instructed to shoot and miss as part of a political message of some sort, are just desperate ad hoc efforts. I really can't think of any plausible "framing" scenario.

This is exactly what I meant when I started the thread about people overthinking the assassination. Oswald wasn't stupid enough to bring his rifle to work for "show and tell" on a day the POTUS was going to ride past the building. Even sillier that he would fire shots out the window as a political message. The idea that the conspirators planted Oswald's rifle ignores the fact the fibers on the butt plate matched the shirt he was wearing. I don't know why any CT would jump through all these mental hoops when a very plausible explanation is available. Oswald brought the rifle to work to kill JFK which he succeeded in doing. I think it's terribly unfair to Oswald given that this was the first big thing Oswald ever succeeded at in his miserable little life and so many CTs refuse to give him credit for it.
