JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: The First Shot
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 03:48:52 AM »No, of course it’s not Herculean lol , but it does take time especially if the shooter hasn’t yet selected which boxes he was going to use.
He had over 4 hours to do that.

All I’ve ever read about the Bronson film is that it started at 12:25. If somebody has other information that disputes that time then by all means post it. That might resolve the issue.
The Bronson film briefly shows the Hertz Clock but I can't make out a time on it. Maybe somebody has a clearer copy. Let's say for the sake of argument it does say 12:25. So what. That leaves Oswald 5 minutes to stack the boxes. Not difficult at all.

I can envision the shooter having stayed on the 6th floor after he spotted BRW when the shooter was at SW window. And it can work if there’s a place to hide at the NE corner of 6th floor where the shooter could observe BRW down that east side aisle and observe BRW leave, walk down the aisle, turn leftward to go to elevator and get on the elevators and operate it to go down. That would take about 30 secs to traverse the distance ( about 175 ft)
The shooter then has only maybe 90 ft to traverse if he was hiding behind some boxes at the NE corner of the floor to get to the SN So it would not likely take longer than about 15 seconds
You're overthinking this. We KNOW three shots were fired from the sniper's nest. We have 3 spent shells found in the nest and the three employees one floor below who not only heard the shots, but heard the rifle being cycled and shells hitting the floor. That tells us that the shooter overcame any obstacles you have imagined. That holds true no matter who you believe fired the shots from the sniper's nest.

Then he has to select which boxes , stack them, orient them at that angle and place a box on the window ledge Then lower the window,and position himself sitting on a box and keeping himself out of sight by start of Bronson film at 12:25. IDK what the fastest probable time is to complete the whole sequence But it likely would take at least another
Obviously, he was able to do that in time because he got off three shots after the limo turned on Elm St. The boxes were stacked by the window so obviously it was possible for Oswald to do that unless you want to argue he stacked the boxes after he fired the shots.

So totaling up it looks like to me that the shooter would need at least about 2 minutes to complete the sequence. Therefore BRW has to leave from the window by 12:23 which is possible and as seen one last time the by Rowland.
The shooter got all those things done which pretty much renders your arguments moot.

Strange Roland ( or anyone else?) did not see any activity of the shooter in the window moving and stacking box on the window ledge and lowering the window.
Do you think the boxes got there by magic?

I see why the LNs prefer just to write off Rowland as a “ clown”. But I can’t do that. IMO the guy was telling what he saw and he had the TSBD clock in sight AS he observed BRW. So his 12:15 time stamp is a valid one.
I have no idea where you are going with this line of thinking. The boxes got stacked which proves the person who stacked the boxes had the time to do it.
