Apologies Charles. I'd missed a couple of the earlier posts and you'd already answered the point I was driving at when you said:
I don’t believe that there necessarily was anything sinister about BRW’s early omissions regarding the sixth floor."
You acknowledge the early omissions I was trying to point out but you don't find anything sinister about them.
Fair enough.
It was also interesting to see you acknowledge the possibility that either Bonnie Ray saw the assassin or he had ESP. In the post I'm responding to you make the point that you "prefer to look at the evidence". I assume your evidence for BRW's ESP is solid so I won't pursue the matter.
I'm also a bit surprised at the faith you have in BRW's testimony considering you wrote this:
"I think that BRW’s memory wasn’t the greatest (just look at how many times he said he couldn’t remember things in his testimony)"
My favourite part of that post was this:
"Also, I think that it is possible that he could have simply temporarily mentally blocked his presence on the sixth floor. Mental blocks are common when people experience things that they perceive as being very bad."
I wonder what he perceived as being so bad he mentally blocked it when he was interviewed by the DPD a couple of hours after the assassination. What do you think it was?
Again, I'm sure the evidence you have about BRW's mental block is rock solid and not just some nonsense you're plucking out of thin air.
When he uses the word "we" in his statement about riding the elevator he is referring to multiple people.
Whe he uses the word "I" he also uses the word "with", as in - I went back on the 5th floor with a fellow named Hank and Junior"
In this instance "with" is like an addition in maths:
I (BRW) with (+) Norman and Jarman = 3 people together.
So when he arrives on the 5th floor he uses the word "we" [BRW + Jarman + Norman]
This is a lie Williams tells to the DPD hours after the assassination.
A lie. Not a mental blockage.

In the post I'm responding to you make the point that you "prefer to look at the evidence". I assume your evidence for BRW's ESP is solid so I won't pursue the matter.I know you are being sarcastic. (How's that for ESP?) When I say that I think something is possible I am usually engaging in conjecture. This was in response to Mytton's statement regarding his beliefs. I was only pointing out some other possibilities. By the way, conjecture doesn't require solid evidence.
You acknowledge the early omissions I was trying to point out but you don't find anything sinister about them.Just point things like this out. No need to ask a bunch of questions. All you were trying to do was get an opinion from me so that you could attack it. (How's that for ESP?)

I am surprised! You act like you think you know all these other things that you think he meant to say (but didn't).
I will engage in a little more conjecture to give you an answer to your question, but it is only conjecture so save your silly sarcastic remarks about evidence. By the time BRW made his statement to the DPD, LHO had been arrested and brought in where BRW could see him. It is reasonable to believe that BRW had by then put two and two together and that he probably realized that LHO had fired the shots from the sixth floor. Just the realization that he (BRW) was on the sixth floor while eating his lunch just before the assassination could have been an extremely terrifying thing for BRW. So I think it is possible that he mentally blocked that realization. And if he heard, saw, or even "sensed" that there was someone else on the sixth floor with him, it could have made that realization even more terrifying. All of this conjecture is just that, conjecture. It is quite possible that BRW simply thought that he didn't need to put down where he ate his lunch in his statement.

This is a lie Williams tells to the DPD hours after the assassination.
A lie. Not a mental blockage.There is also another crucial word that BRW used in his statement to the DPD:
We went downstairs...
versus
I went back up
on the fifth floor with...
He didn't say he went
to the fifth floor with anybody. He said he went
on the fifth floor. There is a difference. And, again, Mr. Ball and company asked enough questions to get clarifications. You can believe that your "interpretation" is correct. Nothing that I am going to say is likely to change your mind. But, again, you are only fooling yourself. You really don't have ESP, Mr Ball and company proved that by getting BRW to answer their questions.
