Why the first shot missed

[Tom Mahon]

The first shot [...] took place even earlier than Z160.

Correct.

Two seconds earlier, at "Z-124."

[Royell Storing]

Correct.

Two seconds earlier, at "Z-124."

   We gotta problem when conjecture is posted as if it were a fact. The above is an Opinion. Nothing more.

You haven't read the 22-page article by Roselle and Scearce, yet, have you?

   We continue coming back to the "ear witness" stuff. You can't have it both ways. You rely on the "ear" and you then have an issue with the time involved to physically work a bolt action rifle.

Roselle's and Scearce's study had nothing to do with what those seven witnesses said, but how they were caught on film physically reacting to the sounds of Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot.

Since that shot was at "Z-124" and the next one was at approximately Z-222, Oswald had approximately 5.35 seconds to "work the bolt" and recycle a round into the chamber for his second shot.

 The reaction you are seeing from people on the film is the result is what they HEARD = EAR. Ear witnesses overwhelmingly have the 2nd and 3rd shots far too close together for those shots to have been fired by the same bolt action rifle. Holland's "The Lost Bullet" displays Amos Euins banging out those 3 shots. Euins demonstration of the timing of Shots #2 and #3 are too close together.

Lots of witnesses, including Amos Euins, were confused by the sounds of the muzzle blasts and supersonic "cracks" in the echo chamber known as Dealey Plaza.

That's why Roselle and Scearce focused on the captured-on-film conscious (as opposed to "startle") physical reactions of those seven witnesses to the first, and only the first, shot.

D'oh

   So you wanna rely on what they label a "conscious reaction" vs a "startle reaction"? I would contend the seven witnesses have been "noise conditioned" by the consistent backfires of the DPD motorcycles which are spread throughout the motorcade. That "reaction" well was poisoned by all of the motorcycle backfires.
