The Bus Stop Farce

[Charles Collins]

Student "A" says that 5 apples and one orange equal 6 apples.   95% of the class agree with student "A" ....

Does that prove that student A is correct?

“It is often pointed out by critics that 70% of Americans believe there was a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy, as if the percentage itself is enough to change the reality of what really happened. Six hundred years ago, the vast majority of humanity believed the world was flat. That still didn’t change the reality of a spherical world. We know that many Americans base their opinion of the Kennedy assassination on a mixture of fact and fantasy derived from a variety of often suspect sources of information. While opinion polls can reveal cultural trends, they don’t change facts. In the final analysis, the truth doesn’t require anyone’s belief.”     —-Dale K. Myers

Silly quote

What exactly happened, happened. Period.

However whether somebody believes Oswald was the lone gunman or whether there was a conspiracy will always be an opinion. Just like calling the WC narrative factual is an opinion. That's why the quote is silly.

'he probably couldn't have been there'
>>> He probably ran part way

You run when you need to get somewhere fast.... Like down North Beckley, straight to the busses on Jefferson.

What could possibly be his reason for running to a go nowhere place like 10th street in a residencial area?

A very inaccurate claim. It was widely known that the earth was a sphere [simply observing the shadow cast upon the surface of the moon during an eclipse will tell you this] What was not widely known [at that time] was how vast was the Atlantic Ocean and could it be sailed to the west to China before the sailors perished of starvation or exposure to the elements. Mr Myers was a gullible believer in quite a few myths it seems.
It was known as early as the 5th century BC that the Earth was not only spherical but also it's exact diameter.

Yes, no argument (he once even believed in a conspiracy to kill JFK). So did I.

Probably the same impetus that caused him to come into the boarding house in an 'unusual hurry'

Nope... the boarding house was a destination that made sense. 10th street not so much, or rather not at all

How often in your life did you run to a place where you had no apparent business being, where nothing was happening, where there was nowhere to go and where there was nobody you knew to meet?

The WC wasn't tasked to prove anything
They said 'probably'
The HSCA said 'likely'
