The Ambush

[Michael Walton]

It's a very simple matter of why he didn't take the shot when the car was on Houston - because he knew that if he missed, he'd have help further down on Elm Street. That way, if he missed, he would give himself more time to put the gun between the boxes, waltz down to the 2nd floor whistling a tune, buy an ice cold Coca Cola, crack it open and take a refreshing first sip.

He knew, too, that no one would suspect him because of his casual Coca Cola drinking demeanor.  And sure enough that's what happened when he was confronted by Baker.

Prove that "Oswald knew this."

Well duh, Oswald's rifle rest boxes and Oswald prints were all orientated down Elm street therefore the only logical deduction is that "Oswald knew this".

That's right Bill, there are a number of reasons why Oswald's rifle rest boxes along with Oswald's prints were orientated down Elm Street.

1. As you say when you're high and the target is moving towards you it quickly drops out of your sights but when the Limo was going down Elm street the limo stays in the sights longer and considering that Elm street goes downhill that only adds to the available time.

In the following gif in frames 1 and 2 you can see that the Limo when coming down Houston doesn't stay in the sights for very long.
In frame 3 when the limo is passing right in front the Limo only is in the sights for a fraction of a second
But in frame 4 when the Limo is headed away the limo is in the sights for a longer time and is the more logical shot.

That's great work, John.

I am always amazed to see others speak authoritatively on a subject that they really have no clue about.

This is not to discourage new members from posting.  This is simply an observation on the posting characteristics of forum member Jerry Freeman.

That presentation above is just stunning, no matter who made it, posted it, what side they are on. Probably one of the best and most convincing exhibits posted on message boards. The circumstances, "basic circumstances" of the JFK assassination are so well known, most can identify with what it says. IMHO.

That's great work, John.

Seconded

  Ct's have been destroyed on this issue over and over again on this forum. John just did it again and you would think Ct's would give up on the point in their search for the truth, but we all know they won't.

 I would love to see a list of actual evidence you dismiss while at the same time posting this.



One huge problem with you theory. If Oswald
