Dear Storm Trooper Storing,

Given the fact that Oswald was a former Marine sharpshooter, that his Carcano was found to be reasonably accurate, and that he fired all three shots over a span of about ten seconds, why do you have a problem with that?

    You guys keep moving the goalpost. NOW it's 3 shots 10 seconds total elapsed time.  We get the final half of the 1st Generation Copy of the Darnell Film, and it will Not matter. That Bogus DPD Cop strolling across the railroad yard will be proven to Not be Officer Haygood = Conspiracy.

I don't see Pat Speer agreeing with you.  He disagrees with the Lattimer, Posner, Myers (LPM) theory of the shot times (which posits an early missed first shot) but doesn't say that the witness evidence supports only two shots.  This is taken from his site:


Seems like Speer agrees with me that the first shot didn’t miss. That was the main thing that I disagree with other LNs on. I don’t think there is much disagreement between me and other LNs that JBC was struck in the torso on the second shot and JFK was struck in the head on the third. So the only thing that other LNs and I disagree on is something that you, I and Pat Speer agree on: that the first shot didn’t miss.

Speer does not agree with you. You could not even read his website; you even failed at that. Your theory fails at every level and standard of understanding. It has been proven over and over and over again, but you do not listen to or attempt to at least track the reasoning behind the explanations.

I am unimpressed with who thinks what. Three shot narratives of any and all forms have failed to produce any concrete answer to the assassination, so on and on it goes. In 63 years of study of the JFKA only Josiah Thompson has made a certifiable contribution to the understanding of the assassination. Even then, with his observation he could not help himself but add another shot from somewhere else.

You seriously follow up one summarized witness table with another summary of witnesses. Are you really this lazy and unimaginative? Pat's summary you posted is not even a tabulation of his own analysis of the individual witnesses. That point did not strike you as odd or are you so incapable of individual thought and initiative that you did not notice.

The 50 two shot eyewitnesses and the 20 eyewitnesses who claimed to have heard a third shot after the headshot are listed on Pat's website where he did a great service by collecting all the information and locating it in one place. If you are interested, you will find them there. If you are lazy and want someone else to do your thinking for you then continue posting the sorry HSCA compilation.

You gloss over JBC's making a 180-degree turn in his seat to look backward after being shot through the chest. 

People have been known to do all kinds of "strange" things after being shot.

D'oh!

TG-

I can't make heads or tails of the acoustic evidence in the JFKA, but at least I admit it.

Tink Thompson did a re-do on the acoustics, and said he accepts the acoustic evidence. Who knows? Not me.

Blakey, indeed a Mob-hunter, also said the acoustics evidence was not requisite to the HSCA conclusion.

The fact remains: based on evidence it asssembled, the second official investigation into the JFKA, the HSCA's, concluded there likely had been a JFKAC.

Were there flaws in the HSCA investigation? Sure.

Were there flaws in the WC investigation? Even more so.

In one a "nut" to subscribe to the HSCA...or the WC?

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

The LNT version requires that Gov. JBC make a 180-degree turn in his seat to check on JFK after being shot through his chest, and that JBC holds onto his Stetson hat, after being shot through the wrist.

The Lone Gunman Advocate version only requires that rational people take notice of the fact that, looking-to-his-right JBC, after turning his head quickly to his left between Z-150 and Z-160 to see if Nellie is okay, at Z-165 starts turning his head and upper torso back far to his right in an attempt to catch a glimpse of JFK over his right shoulder to see if HE is okay, and, having failed to do so (because JFK has turned HIS head far to his right and raised his arm to wave to his acquaintance, Mary Woodward, and her three cheering-and-clapping colleagues), starts turning his head and torso back to his left at Z-204 (with the idea of looking for JFK over his left shoulder) when he is struck by CE-399 after having turned his head and torso only a couple of inches (and therefor is still turned to his right) at approximately Z-223. And taking notice, of course, that JBC, being a large man and having been shot through the chest instead of having his transverse process nicked by the bullet, reacted differently and seemingly more slowly than JFK did to being wounded by the aforementioned CE-399, aka THE MAGIC BULLET.

D'oh!
