Oswald in the TSBD just after the shooting

[Bill Chapman]

The Onion Oh, I guess you convinced me!  The polls, the surveys, etc. are for people who are challenged by this thing called "I can't think for myself". I might be wrong but I think the 4th of July 1964 was the first year they changed calling the country's birthday from Independence Day to the more accurate DEPENDENCE DAY.  Let me help you. Notice the number of letters, yes there are a couple(meaning 2) letters missing to help create an easier less cumbersome word for people like yourself to pronounce.
 Here is a simple pre-curser to the future manipulation of the media for purposes which can be described as"for your own good" see if you can apply it(without any help) to the debate

LOL Another paranoid dumbass CTer taking himself so seriously that he gets snared by a spoof publication (yeah, The Onion). I always catch you dummies with this stuff.

Sucker.

Typical Lone nutter excuse. When found to be an idiot, excuses himself by saying i was spoofing  you. Seems you are the dummy, Chappers.

No, you completely missed the point.  If Brennan was the source of the description that went out at 12:45, then why is it not Brennan's description?

Brennan was the only person who immediately after the shooting,at 12:30, who went to a police officer and reported that he'd seen a man aiming a rifle out of a TSBD window.

There was no other person who could have been the source for the description that was broadcast at 12:45.  And the description is pretty vague .....It's not a match for Lee Oswald but it is the same basic description that Brennan wrote in his affidavit about an hour later.

This is the description that Brennan's wrote in his affidavit:...."I did not notice anything unusual about this man. He was in his early thirties, slender nice looking, slender and about 165 to 175 pounds. He had on light colored clothing , not a suit."

Dispatcher: The suspect in the shooting is approximately thirty, slender build, height five feet ten inches, weight one hundred sixty-five pounds, reported to be armed with what is thought to be a 30 caliber rifle.

No, you missed the sarcasm I intended

APB: About 30/5'10/165lb/slender build
Brennan: Early 30's/5'10/160-170lb/slender

And the problem with that is what, exactly?

As is usual, your sarcastic quip had nothing to do with the point that was raised.

Brennan's affidavit:
"He was a white man in his early 30's, slender, nice looking, slender and would weigh about 165 to 175 pounds"

They didn't say "about 30", they said "30".  And where did they get 5' 10"?  And "30 caliber rifle"?

Simply because the police broadcast didn't identify the witness does not in anyway indicate that the witness was anyone but Howars Brennan... Brennan probably did tell the cop that the man had a high powered rifle ( meaning a hunting rifle) and it could have been a 30-30 Winchester because he could see all of the barrel of the gun.

In his written affidavit Brennan wrote:... " I then saw this man I have described in the window and he was taking aim with a HIGH POWERED rifle. I could see all of the barrel of the gun."

That's just a circular argument.  There's no reason to think that Brennan ever said anything on 11/22 about a "30 caliber rifle".

My 'Car 54' sarcasm was directed at you
