It has occurred to me that in various recent threads, MTG has suggested shots being fired from all around Dealey Plaza. It seems to me he has postulated as many as six shots. Even if he doesn't want to accept it was Oswald firing from the sniper's nest, we have several eyewitnesses who saw a shooter at that location, 3 spent shells at that location, and the testimony of the TSBD employees who were right below that location who heard three shots being fired from directly above them. MTG has cited the HSCA acoustic evidence of a shooter firing from the GK. They postulated a missed shot although I believe MTG thinks that was the headshot. Either way, that brings us to four shots. In the past few weeks, he has claimed there was a bullet hole through the windshield which suggests a shooter from in front of the limo as it traveled down Elm St. He has been a little vague as to just where they shooter could have fired from. I'm not certain but I think his belief is that shot entered JFK's throat. I'm not sure where he thinks that shot ended up.
MTG's premise in starting this thread is that Tague's injury could not have been caused by any of the three shots from the TSBD. When pressed, he suggested Tague was injured by a shot fired from a lower floor of the Dal-Tex building, which sailed over JFK's head, over the limo, all the way down Elm St. to strike the curb in front of Tague standing between Main and Commerce streets. While Tague would have been roughly in line with such a shot, I wonder if MTG has considered how wild that shot would have been. Even if that shooter was firing from a second floor window, he still would have been ailing at a downward angle at JFK. It strains credulity to believe that a shot from the Dal-Tex would have been so much above the intended target that it not only would have missed JFK's head, it would have missed Connally, Kellerman, the dashboard and the windshield so that it could travel down Elm St., cross Main St. and hit the curb in front of Tague.
At a minimum, MTG is postulating six shots. Never mind that there are no eyewitnesses to a shooter from any location other than the TSBD. There is no forensic evidence of shots from any location other than the TSBD, such as a discarded weapon, spent shells, or recovered bullets. There is no medical evidence of any wounds suffered by either JFK or JBC that were not caused by shots fired from above and behind them. Since he has claimed the Dal-Tex shooter wildly missed his target, that would rule out that location unless he wants to claim that shooter fired more than one shot, which brings us up to seven or more shots. I forget. How many shots did most of the people in Dealey Plaza remember hearing?
