General Discussion & Debate / Re: How to wipe down your weapon of choice real quick

>>> Bullcrap. He was being sarcastic. And every conspiracy monger on the planet is born with chips on their shoulders.
'Because what you "reckon" is that the shooter both wanted to and didn't want to leave evidence behind.'
>>> He wanted to escape but obviously didn't want to be carrying the evidence with him, Sherlock.

« Last post by Gary Craig on July 18, 2019, 07:30:06 PM »Craig Roberts alleges Hathcock said this. There's absolutely no proof he actually did so. Craig Roberts was (surprise surprise) touting his conspiracy book 'Kill Zone' at the time.
Were these guys better shots than Hathcock...I seriously doubt it.
-------------------- A CBS INVESTIGATION --------------------------
-snip-
To recap all this, the CBS marksmen had:
1) a rifle with a quicker action
2) a better sighted scope
3) a target traveling in a straight line
4) practice firing with the weapon
5) a target on a steady speed
6) a somewhat larger target due to the slower speed of the target
7) no half window to fire out of like on the sixth floor
no thick window sill to lean out over to fire9) most importantly, time to sight in on the first short before taking it.
CBS also gave their marksmen more time, as we shall see in their Test
#3.
CBS then reported: "Altogether the 11 volunteer marksmen made 37
attempts to fire 3 shots at a moving target. Seventeen of those attempts
had to be called 'no time', because of trouble with the rifle." (No time
meant that the target went outside the shooting area before all the shots
were fired.) These 17 'no time' shots were not figured into their average
time for 3 shots. CBS never even said where the shots that hit the target
were placed on this target. But, they went on to claim 3 shots in 5.6
seconds could be achieved with a moving target.
The best of their marksmen was Howard Donahue. He got off 3 hits
within 4.8 seconds on his third try. He alone got three hits in one shooting
from the tower. When he achieved this time, he had 2.5 seconds between
the second and third shots. Several other of the CBS marksmen got 3
shots within 5.6 seconds, but none with the 2.5 seconds between shots 2
and 3. Furthermore, none of the other marksmen that got the 3 shots in at
5.6 seconds did so on their first attempt. But, they claimed LHO did just
that.

Photographic Film Video & Audio Discussion & Debate / Re: Where Were Jane Berry, Betty Thornton and Peggy Burney During the Motorcade?
« Last post by John Mytton on July 18, 2019, 07:29:49 PM »How the hell would you know whether or not people are wearing shorts in a big crowd of people where you can't see their legs?
I didn't ask you to do an clothing audit on every man woman and child in Dallas, I just want you to support your "photo evidence" and at least demonstrate that at least 1 man in Dallas in November 1963 can be seen wearing shorts?
Quote
But the point is, even if Tommy thinks his blobs are bare legged, and therefore more likely to be women, so what?
If it makes no difference then why post the photo of the guy wearing shorts?

« Last post by John Iacoletti on July 18, 2019, 07:16:10 PM »John Iacoletti dies and arrives at the Gates of Hell
Satan appears with Lee Harvey Oswald in tow.
John exclaims 'Lee, my darling, what are you doing here?'
Oswald replies 'I killed Kennedy and Tippit'
John shouts 'No you didn't! You're LYING!
Lame jokes to go along with your lame excuses now?
