You'd think a crackerjack researcher like Robert Groden would know that, huh. I'd bet money that he does; he just doesn't want facts getting in the way of selling books.

I had to laugh at the part about the "smoke" on one of the videos that "the Warren Commission doesn't want you to see." Was the shooter using a blunderbuss? It reminded me of one of the funniest comments I read about Stone's JFK movie, so I had to go find it again:

Director Oliver Stone could not find a rifle that would emit the necessary cloud of smoke when fired, and so he resorted to having a special-effects man blow smoke from a bellows. Many consider this an appropriate metaphor for the entire movie.

Enter mcadams... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #16

It's got nothing to do with McAdams William Seger Mar 2013 #17

HA! MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #15

Nah, they'd naturally decide to do a suicide rush on the shooter William Seger Mar 2013 #19

OK, fine! All those folks are bugging up there to catch them a second shooter. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #20

"That would fit the facts, woodunit? MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #23

Maybe the second shooter got beamed up, then? Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #24

Maybe you could continue to give credence to your belief... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #27

Yes, I agree that a second shooter up on the grassy knoll is silly and hilarious Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #30

You would... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #32

Feel free to explain how the second shooter got away any time now. n/t Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #33

That's the argument of the absolute... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #34

I'll bet a lot of people got away... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #36

You can't answer because there is no answer that doesn't expose you to ridicule. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #37

I can only answer real questions... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #39

How did the second shooter escape? That's a real question. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #40

I'll take that bet. zappaman Mar 2013 #38

I was fortunate to visit it once and it immediately struck me that Oswald was a dumbass... truebrit71 Mar 2013 #25

Heck, the photo supports what you said, if nothing else. MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #28

No, the "real perps" were the dumb asses William Seger Mar 2013 #29

No, actually, they were the smart ones....Oswald DID get blamed for something he was perhaps only... truebrit71 Mar 2013 #42

You're just assuming the consequent. William Seger Mar 2013 #43

Ah, I shouldn't believe my lying eyes... truebrit71 Mar 2013 #46

Well, first, I'd suggest actually USING your eyes William Seger Mar 2013 #52

That's difficult to understand because it doesn't make any sense William Seger Mar 2013 #53

According to the OP, Gary Mack "now believes Oswald was the only gunman that day." AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #51

Yes, that is correct. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #55

Re-read what was posted at #51, not your interpretation of the story referred to in the OP. AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #58

I'm sorry, but it's you that has the problem with reading comprehension. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #59

No. Your problem is that (a) you came up with a who-gives-a-shit story, (b) you interpreted what AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #60

Thank you for your concern. n/t Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #61

That's what you can expect, AM... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #62

Have we a bet yet? zappaman Mar 2013 #64

To ignore a mockingbird... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #66

It is enough that you misrepresent what I've said. You've changed the subject. AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #70

Well, that particular comment was really addressed to... William Seger Mar 2013 #71
