When did Marsh pass away?

As best I can determine, it was shortly before John McAdams passed away. Tony was probably the most prolific poster on that forum. He would sometimes make dozens of posts a day. In the final year of that forum's existence, Tony's posts began being filled with mistyped words. He hinted that it was difficult for him to type without saying why but I suspect he might have had a stroke. About a month or two before John passed away, Tony had ceased posting altogether and one couldn't help but think the worst. Some people searched for an online obituary but didn't find one for Tony so maybe he survived but was no longer capable of posting at all. To the best of my knowledge, no one found any evidence since that time that Tony was still among the living.

I mentioned this when I did Fred Litwin's podcast that while I disagreed with the conclusions Tony reached regarding the JFKA, he had better command of the facts than anyone I have ever come across on either side of the question of conspiracy. It was the thought process he applied to all that knowledge that I could not agree with. One example of some of the minutia Tony was aware of is when I made the statement that Marrion Baker did not write the statement he signed but that somebody had typed it up for him to sign. Tony corrected me and informed me that the statement was not typed but handwritten. Who would know something like that. Apparently, Tony did.

UPDATE: I just did a search of Massachusetts public records looking to see if Tony Marsh had passed away and when. In order to get the report I would have to pay $1 and I'm too much of a cheapskate to do that. Maybe if someone else is curious, they can pay for the report.

    Maybe you missed it, but they also announced that the TIME CLOCK displayed on the stadium scoreboard and on TV is NOT THE OFFICIAL TIME CLOCK. The OFFICIAL TIME CLOCK is kept inna bunker somewhere. With Sports Gambling extending well down into the college ranks, This Revelation of a Star Chamber Time Clock is a major problem.

That's not what they said. The clock on the main scoreboard is the official time and it is what the game officials go by when determining when a period has expired. The discrepancy came in the two replays. The two replays were not both in sync with the stadium clock. The replay booth decided the one that showed the pass had been touched before the clock reached 0:00 was the correct one. They ignored the protocol that said when such a discrepancy exists, they are supposed to go with the one that the TV viewers have seen. Had they done so, there would be no controversy, and Western Michigan would have won the game.

I'm old enough to remember when the scoreboard clock was not the official clock in NFL games. The officials kept the official time on the field and it frequently was not in sync with the scoreboard clock. I can also remember when some stadium clocks were not digital but had a clock face with hands to indicate minutes and seconds. The reason the NFL has had the two minute warning for so long and until recently college football did not is that it let everyone know how much official time is remaining and allow the stadium clock to get back in sync with the time being kept on the field for the final two minutes. Even then, the stadium clock would get out of sync with the official time. Sometimes the game would end before the stadium clock reached zeros and sometimes the game would continue even after the stadium clock reached zeros. I think it was in the mid-1960s that the NFL made the scoreboard clock the official timepiece for its games.

   Good Luck in your being seated on any jury involving a Shooting of any kind.

I already have been. The prosecution never attempted to recreate the shooting and the defense never demanded that they do that. We found the accused guilty anyway.

I continue to insist that no shooting can be perfectly replicated and it is an unreasonable demand that such a thing is necessary. I know of no other case in which that was done. Individual elements of a shooting can be tested to show what is possible, but to expect every aspect of any shooting to be perfectly replicated is ridiculous.

I have always distance myself from the MAGA supporters who tried to reverse the results of the 2020 election. Just as many Democrat dispute the legitimacy of the 2000 and 2004 elections, MAGA has the right to their opinion as well. However, once the Congress certified the electoral college result, the game was over. The result was official and nothing was going to change it.

This past weekend, there was a very controversial ending to the Western Michigan/Michigan football game and many people, myself included, think Western Michigan got screwed. I didn't buy the Big 10's defense of how the replay was handled and it appears the replay officials did not follow established protocols when they decided to put one more second back on the clock. This gave Michigan one more play which they used to throw a game winning TD pass.

Yesterday, the Mid-American Conference appealed to the NCAA to reverse the outcome of the game. As much as I believe the wrong decision was made and the wrong team won, the outcome cannot be reversed. By rule, once the referee declares the game over, it's over. Whether we are talking about sports or politics, even if you think your side got screwed, once the outcome has been decided, there is no reversing it. When Congress certified the electoral college count in January 2021, the result was official and there was no legal means to reverse it. At some point you simply have to accept the outcome, no matter how much you believe it was wrong. From that point on, I think Trump and his followers, of which I am one, should have put it in the rearview mirror and moved on.

His rear view mirror is cracked, but your loyalty is………… admirable.

my thinking is if you can somehow tie current events to the events of ‘that day’, well…
beats a lot of other silly threads people post around here, and the comments therein.

I'm a relative newcomer to this forum but it seems me in the past there was a lot more latitude given for acceptable topics than there is now. I've seen a number of zombie threads that seem to have nothing to do with the JFKA. Once they are out there, I don't no if there is a mechanism for moving or removing them. Perhaps Duncan can enlighten us about the current rules for old topics as well as what is allowed currently.
