Did Captain Fritz show Mr Oswald a Mauser?

[Bill Chapman]

That so-called pristine bullet is being taken out of context. The overriding meaning of "pristine" is NOT as if it was taken out of a box brand-new. THAT would be pristine. Any smart researcher has seen the photos of a bullet that was fired into a cadaver's wrist bone and the bending out of shape and mushrooming. THAT is how you compare CE399 with the cadaver bullet. You DON'T say "Pristine?! Why just look at the flattening of CE399."

I'm surprised Bill doesn't have the mental capability to figure this out. Wecht should have never used the word "pristine" way back on the NOVA TV show because it gives people like Bill the opportunity to wordplay or take out of context Wecht's true meaning.

'gives people like Bill the opportunity to wordplay'
You're the one trucking in wordplay. You're all bent out-of-shape.
This bullet is either pristine or it isn't. Well?

No bravado necessary, false or not. Oswald killed Tippit and probably shot Kennedy.

Under the theory that if you make the same claim over and over again that it will somehow become true.

No one should say one fkn word to any cop if arrested.

Agreed.  But Fritz's interrogation "techniques" were legendary, and Oswald was not provided counsel when he asked for it.

You have to understand that wordplay is all that Chapman is mentally capable of.

"Near-pristine" works.  Not that it matters since the bullet with no chain of custody that was allegedly discovered on an unrelated stretcher at Parkland Hospital cannot be connected to the assassination in any way.

Kept his trap shut about what? The things you want to claim without evidence that he said?

Good advice, especially for those who are actually guilty of a crime or fear being set up by the police.

Innocent people normally forget the advice is good for them also, so they talk nevertheless.

I posted this video in 'Off-Topic' about a year ago, and was disappointed that practically no one visited that post. I was let down because it was one of the most important and interesting videos I've ever watched and would be of great benefit to everybody.

Don't Talk to the Police

You needed a video to explain this to you? Wow!

So, on the one hand you agree that police officers can't be trusted by those they arrest, yet on the other hand, when it comes to reports like the one Fritz wrote, a week after talking to Oswald, you believe it all as gospel. Go figure!

You learn from the video that witnesses are hardly ever 100% accurate in their statements yet you still quote Scoggins as if you were there when he (allegedly) said it.

No repeating theory needed, Mr McKneeley.

I'm particularly fond of my wordplay involving Dirty Harry/Dirty Harvey/S&W. You know, the Tippit thing.
