   So people at ground level reported smelling gun smoke, but no one reported smelling gun smoke inside the sniper's nest. How does this happen?

I'm not at all surprised you were unable to follow the logic.

First of all, people are not smelling gun smoke. The smoke dissipates almost immediately. What people smell is the residue of the gunpowder discharged into the air and which can travel some distance from the firearm that discharged it. This is why people smelling gunpowder residue on Elm St is no indication of where the residue was discharged from. But this is the kind of nonsense conspiracy hobbyists have clung to for over 62 years because they still have zero evidence that anyone other than Oswald took part in the assassination.

There was only one person in the sniper's nest and I'm not at all surprised he didn't report smelling gunpowder residue there.

Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas: Riding in the motorcade behind the President, he stated he smelled gunpowder as they passed the grassy knoll.
Patrolman Joe Smith: A Dallas police officer who reported a "distinctive smell of gun-smoke cordite" and ran toward the knoll.
Tom Dillard: A press photographer in the motorcade who stated he "very definitely smelled gunpowder".
Mrs. Earle Cabell: The wife of the Mayor of Dallas, who was "acutely aware of the odor of gunpowder".
Virgie Rachley: A bookkeeper who reported smelling "gun smoke" while on Elm Street.
Patrolman Earl Brown: Reported smelling gun powder while seeing an officer in the follow-up car swinging a gun.

Mortal Error was printed in 1991 & explains that SSA Hickey accidentally shot jfk with an AR15. Bonar Menninger wrote the book & Howard Donahue provided the info.


Donahue was an idiot. I can't say much for anyone who bought into his crap.

Not one item above is an indication a shot was fired from Elm St. or from the grassy knoll. It just tells use where certain people were when the smell of the gunpowder reached them. It doesn't tell us where that gunpowder came from.

Donahue did make a major error. This was re the ricochet re Oswald's missed first shot.
Donahue thort that this hit the road pavement & bits ended up hitting jfk & bits ended up in the limo.
This iz koz he tried to tick all of the boxes re the Xray & witnesses re a bullet hitting the pavement & re bits of bullet in the limo etc.
Hiz other error was that he ignored the evidences that Hickey fired a plurality of shots (at least 4).
And then McLaren came along with JFK the Smoking Gun. And he too failed to see that Hickey fired at least 4 shots.
And then i solved the Hickey thing in 2024.
I uzed the good work of Holland re the ricochet offa the overhead signal arm.
But Holland too had some silly ideas re the ricochet.
And then i solved the ricochet thing in 2023.

    There is ZERO Evidence than a shot hit the "overhead signal arm". You got Holland blowing off about this, and the Sixth Floor Museum giving him the platform to do it, but in FACT, there is literally nothing. Some guy ran into that traffic signal and knocked it down. Gary Mack called Holland about it being down and they went through that thing with a fine tooth comb. Found NOTHING.
    With respect to a possible SA Hickey AR-15 firing spree, I do believe there is evidence of this having happened. I can Not say this "spree" struck JFK, but I do believe there is evidence that those shots did cause damage inside Dealey Plaza. I believe Hickey's AR-15 firing burst went in the general direction of Gordon Arnold. If you are interested let me know. I'll direct you to what I believe is Image Evidence of the damage caused inside Dealey Plaza.
