JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Time Trial, Depository to Tenth & Patton
« Last post by Martin Weidmann on Yesterday at 11:40:34 PM »I did the same walk in 2008 and it took me just under 13 minutes with about a 5 second delay at the only traffic light I encountered on the journey. I can't remember the exact number of seconds. Looking at Google Earth, the neighborhood has changed dramatically since 2008 with new houses having been built and a school that now cuts off 10th from Beckley. There are a lot of places Oswald could have cut over to Patton and we don't know his exact route but I don't think it would make a big difference in the time required.
We know that Oswald fired the shots at 12:30 and the next event that was time stamped was when the shooting was radioed in. Everything in between is an estimate, that's why it's very difficult to pinpoint any event, including the shooting of Tippit down to the minute.

The time required for what? For him to be there when you need him to be there?
You can only determine "the time required" when you know when exactly Oswald left the bus stop in front of the boardinghouse and when exactly Tippit was shot. You don't know either!
I fixed it for you. Don't assume you can speak for others!

Ain't it just too bad that Bowles, the supervisor of the dispatchers, is on records saying that the time stamps used on the radio can not be relied upon to provide real time.

And yet, that's exactly what you are trying to do, by cherry picking the evidence.
