I won't play a nutters baiting game
you have a point? make it

Being baited? Into what? That you know what you have been posting is just wrong?

The point was made. I understand why you are avoiding it.

Estimates are likely never precise, but do you agree that estimating the size is not the same as observing how the package was carried by Oswald?

Yes I do. Randle said Oswald held the package near the top and it almost touched the ground. His grip would take up 4-6 inches of the length of the bag so it would seem very odd to me that he could hold a two foot long package and have it almost touch the ground. That seems much more plausible if the package was 38 inches long.

As for Frazier there seems to be agreement that Oswald carried the package into the TSBD cupping it in his right hand. The bone of contention is whether or not the top of the package was above his right shoulder. That is something Frazier could very well have not even noticed at the time he observed Oswald carrying the package.

I just measured my hand to the floor while standing upright. 2' 3"
try it yourself

The largest piece of the rifle is the stock @ 34.8 inches....
it cannot be made shorter

Mr. BALL - When you cupped the bottom of your package in the hands, will you stand up, again, please,
and the upper part of the package is not under the armpit, the top of the package extends almost up to the level of your ear.

Mr. FRAZIER - Right.
