Whose Target was General Edwin Walker?

[John Iacoletti]

I'm not averse to the idea..... But there simply isn't a shred of evidence to support that idea.    The evidence indicates that there was only the Mannlicher Carcano found....

Except for that pesky 7.65 Mauser that Boone, Weitzman, and Craig reported...

Except for that pesky 7.65 Mauser that Boone, Weitzman, and Craig reported...

They never reported finding a 7.65 mauser..... They saw a tiny bit of the butt of the carcano down in a darkened cave of boxes and thought that it looked like a mauser.....  Actually, Only Weitzman ventured the idea that the carcano was a 7.65 mauser  I suspect he saw the magazine /  trigger guard of the carcano and related that to the only rifle that he was familiar with ...the 7.65 mauser.

Captain Fritz picked up the rifle...

Fritz picked up the shells.
Day picked up the rifle.
Handed it to Fritz.
It wasn't a Mauser.
It's on film.

[Steve Logan]

I forgot.

DP crime scene preservation.

That wasn't on film was it?

Only after it was contaminated.

[Steve Logan]

Right, so who knows what else happened until Alyea arrived.

I guess it's a mystery.

The rifle APPEARED  to be a 7.65 mauser...IOW.... Weitzman could as well have said... "The rifle looked like a 7.65 mauser   
 to me, But I never examined it there in the building....and later I learned that the rifle was NOT a 7.65 mauser, and I corrected my mistake..

Robbie, You call me a liar.....  A liar is a person who KNOWS the truth, about some event, but deliberately states something that is totally contrary to the truth.

You apparently believe that a person who has a opinion that contradicts and destroys your opinion is a liar......not because the person is in fact lying,  but because that person challenges you .....

I'm not the only person here who recognizes that you're a nut, Rob........

Wally, your opinion flies in the face of the evidence. That is a trait of a LNer.

Insulting others who point out that your opinion flies in the face of the evidence is also a trait of a LNer.

Wally, just admit the truth already -- you're a LNer.
