JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: Tippit Myth

Without accurate time records, no one can say what was or was not possible.

And yet here you are basically telling us what was possible based on the assumption that the Hertz clock and a time stamp on a questionable DPD recording were accurate. Go figure!

I'm not making any assumptions regarding the timing. My beliefs are based on physical evidence that places Oswald in the sniper's nest when JFK was shot and at 10th and Patton when Tippit was shot. It is the conspiracy theorists who try to make the argument that it would have been impossible for Oswald to be at 10th and Patton when Tippit was shot. To make that argument, they treat every time estimate as if it is an established fact. That makes no sense. Without ACCURATE time stamps, such calculations are an exercise in futility.

The shells found in the sniper's nest could only have been fired by the rifle found on the 6th floor to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world and for which there is ample evidence Oswald owned and used the rifle. The shells found at the scene of the Tippit murder could only have been fired by the revolver Oswald had in his possession when arrested to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world. That argument does not depend either on the accuracy of the Hertz clock or of the DPD log.

   This is what you asked. Whether it is a 30 ft shot or a 100 ft shot, a "spotter" has the shooter's 6.

Preposterous. A spotter would have no useful purpose on such a short range shot. One of the things a spotter does is help with the calculations for factors such as range and windage. Completely negligible at such a short distance. Another important function is looking for counter snipers. Hence the term "spotter". A sniper on the GK would know he would be subject to return fire from the protection detail once he opened fire, but he wouldn't need a spotter to know those people were there.

The mistake was not taking the body out of Dallas. The mistake was not getting a qualified FORENSIC pathologist to do a medico-legal autopsy. I'm sure there were plenty of those in the greater Washington DC area to choose from. I don't know who was calling the shots but it was boneheaded decision not to employ one of them. They did bring in Dr. Finck from the Army who had some experience with gunshot wounds but that didn't qualify him to do a medico-legal autopsy on a homicide victim. Of course, conspiracy theorists are of the mindset that every misstep is evidence of a conspiracy. They ASSUME, without any evidence, that the Navy and Army doctors deliberately botched the autopsy to hide the true nature of JFK's wounds. Never mind that a team of some of the best medical examiners in the country would later look at the medical evidence and concur with the core finding that JFK was shot twice from behind and there was no medical evidence of any other wounds. They did find fault with the process but ruled despite the flawed process, the autopsy team essentially got the right answer.

   So we have the historic autopsy of a murdered POTUS, and you believe it was merely a "mistake" that they did not get, "qualified FORENSIC pathologist(s)" to do it? There was wall-to-wall "fruit salad" at Bethesda that night, along with 3 Military Dr's doing the hands on work. This was no mistake.

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: The Umbrella Man At The House Select Committee Questioning Interview 1975

   Witt actually testified in 1978. Somehow, he evaded the FBI for almost 15 yrs. Even though he worked only blocks away from Dealey Plaza and actually claims to have walked to-and-from Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63. Witt's HSCA Testimony is in stark contrast to the JFK Assassination images showing Umbrella Man on Elm St. Either Witt is lying or the JFK Assassination images showing Umbrella Man are bogus. Both can Not be true.

:D Nobody knows what time it is in Dallas, 1963.
Yet, wall clocks were electric and mechanical watches were accurate within 10-30sec. on a day

So then the Dallas Police dispatch verbal time stamps are indeed accurate.  I agree.

Why would a shooter need a spotter for a 100 foot shot?

   This is what you asked. Whether it is a 30 ft shot or a 100 ft shot, a "spotter" has the shooter's 6.

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: Did Austin Miller just See Steam?
« Last post by Royell Storing on Today at 03:57:04 PM »

  That steam pipe is very close to the grate. There are people claiming a shooter fired from the steam pipe area and then escaped by going down that grate/underground pipe. I don't believe that scenario, but claiming alleged smoke was steam only fuels this theory. I have never heard or read about steam actually leaking from that pipe. I understand they were in the process of moving that pipe, but claiming steam was leaking from it sounds as desperate as a possible shooter escaping via that grate. The Wiegman Film still frame to me, shows something high and close to the Triple Underpass. I think the, "tree leaves turning color", explanation does make sense. This does not address Holland's story, but it does put the steam pipe stuff to bed.

That steam pipe is not close to the area of the picket fence that Skinny Holland said he saw smoke. Let's get that straight. I don't believe that Wiegman Film still frame shows smoke. But trying to attach that steam pipe to the Holland story is stretching things.
   

You are right about Holland but some of the other supposed smoke witnesses placed the smoke closer to the steam pipe.

Actually, S. M. Holland said the smoke lingered...and that is the exact word he used...
