A Better Sequence (TM DVP)

[Richard Smith]

Smoke and sound. Hard to see a bullet leave the barrel.  Any explanation for why he would aim a rifle and not fire it?

Maybe it had one of those flags that comes out and says "bang" on it when you pull the trigger.   You will never get an explanation because there isn't one.  The only objective of these contrarians is to conjure up false doubt via outrageous, pedantic standards of proof that defy common sense and leave no room for logical inference.  How are they to know why someone who aimed a gun did not fire it?  Has everyone who ever aimed a gun shot someone?   And on and on they will go down that path of nonsense.  The fact remains that a shooter was seen pointing the rifle at JFK from that window at the moment of the assassination.  Oswald's rifle was found on that floor.  His prints are on the boxes by the window.  Shell casings fired from his rifle are found by that window.  And Oswald has no credible alibi for the moment when the shots were fired.  He then fled the scene.   If you were dealing with rational people, there would be no doubt about what happened.

BRW was on the floor until he went to join Jarman and Norman. He just was never in the SN. That is  Colin's hopeful addition.

Brennan, Euins, Fischer, Edwards, Unknown person talking to detective Herbert Sawyer (basically who told him about the Winchester 30-30 rifle?)

Unknown person talking to detective Herbert Sawyer (basically who told him about the Winchester 30-30 rifle?)

The only person who went immediately to the police and reported that he'd seen a man aiming a hunting rifle rrom an upper floor window was Howard Brennan...

Brennan knew little about guns but he referred to the rifle as a "Hi Powered rifle" which is synonymous with "Hunting rifle" ..... and Brennan ventured a WAG that the rifle could have been a 30-30 Winchester, because he could see all of the metal barrel as the man aimed the rifle from the window.

What about the sacks? Weatherford only mentioned seeing CE 142 the sack the rifle came in.

There’s no evidence that a rifle was ever in CE142.

Neither Fischer nor Edwards saw a shooter (or even a weapon).

Bonnie Ray Williams left his lunch bag by the two wheeler by the third set of windows.

Then why did so many deputies see it in the so-called sniper’s nest? Mass hallucination?

As he testified to no muzzle flash and little to no recoil.

Brennan saw smoke? News to me. Yes, he heard a sound, but he couldn’t pinpoint the source any more accurately that anybody else in Dealey Plaza. Are you making the argument that aiming a rifle proves that it was actually fired?

[John Iacoletti]

Who said that they saw a shooter “pointing the rifle at JFK from that window at the moment of the assassination”?

“Richard” likes to conjure up false guilt by misrepresenting the evidence.

IMO Brennan was puzzled ( perplexed)  because he saw the man ( from his waist up)  STANDING and AIMING the HI POWERED rifle, but he didn't hear the noise of the rifle being fired.    He said something about "the echoes".....He expected to hear the sound of the gun being fired but he did not hear the sounds from that location....
