The Shifting Single-Bullet Theory--It Always "Works" No Matter What

[Andrew Mason]

Andrew, you have had this spoon fed to you at least 25 other times. This time you post the answers for me to your cherry-picked uniformed post so I know you can at least understand these people have more to their respective statements than what you have just posted.

So when you said:

“ That is just a patently false statement. Both Nellie and JBC clearly relate that JBC was hit by the first shot. So did DPD Hargis as well as Bill Newman.
Seriously it is time to clue in Andrew.”

in response to my assertion that the Connallys said that JBC was hit in the back by the second shot, you really meant that I was just cherry-picking their statements?

Ok. So perhaps you can direct us to the statements that were omitted when I cherry-picked them.

Anyone watching in Houston, & then running around & down to watch some more at Elm St, would not properly hear Oswald's first shot at pseudo Z105, they would hear Oswald's shot-2 at Z218, & they would hear Hickey's auto burst at Z300-Z312.
Lemmeeseenow, who could that be ----  ah yes, it could be Altgens, & it could be Bell --- they both said that there were 2 shots.

Do you mean that first “horrible ear-shattering noise” as Mary Woodward described the first of three shots she heard as the President’s car passed where she was standing?

There was no mistaking or not having heard a shot. This was all tested by the HSCA as part of the Sound Analysis. There was no early missed shot. Altgens is specific as to the first shot he heard and JFK’s reaction. The time element of working the bolt of the carcano becomes insignificant with there having been only two shots. Even in your scenario two shots account for all the wounding. Why do you need to try and explain an additional shot that literally has no point at all?

4 .3 Loudness and Apparent Size of Acoustic Image

 All observers rated the rifle shots as very very loud, and they were unable to understand how they could have been described as a firecracker or backfire . Only the pistol, which was subsonic, produced a moderate loudness . Practically all the rifle shots, whether fired from the knoll or the TSBD, appeared to be diffuse and to occupy a very large acoustic space . For example, the sound did not seem to come from the sixth floor window of the TSBD, but from the right upper side of the building. This apparently large source location may be a result of acoustic scatter of the muzzle blast - either because of the building in the case of the TSBD or because of the trees in the case of the knoll . Only the pistol shot appears to have a reasonably constrained acoustic image and, for that reason, could be localized with some precision .

I could post it again as has been done numerous times. What would be the point if you continually demonstrate you are either unable or unwilling to understand them. It will not seem like such a waste of time if you would demonstrate you can read these witnesses statements and understand them by posting what has been explained to you endlessly.  Jackie and Nellie both confirm JBC's statement or is that the confusing part.

Nice work. Why don't you quote the rest of her statement. It too has been posted for you endlessly. Even though her statement to the Dallas Morning News is a little hazy, you have identified the only eyewitness in Dealey Plaza who places the second shot as the throat shot confirming SBT. Then followed by the headshot. She also states the second shot does not take place until after JFK turns forward which is after Z207. Maybe she is not such a shiny witness for your theory.

Bell we know was jumping down from his perch (where he had taken his first sequence) at pseudo Z105. He then either galloped around the end of the peristyle & onto the grass below the peristyle, or, he took up a position still in the peristyle (looking down onto Elm St), or, he jumped down from the peristyle onto the garden bed below the peristyle (& he then took his second sequence). Anyhow, Bell was bouncing or galloping when Oswald fired his shot-1 at pseudo Z105.
Atlgens probly ran down along Main past the peristyle, & the peristyle was probly between Altgens & Oswald at shot-1. And Altgens was galloping for sure. So, Altgens did not hear shot-1. Or, as per a hundred other gawkers, he did hear but later forgot.

I doubt forgot. Altgens news flash of two shots was read on air within minutes of the assassination.

I don’t need you to post them. I just need the cites for JBC’s statements saying he was hit in the back on the first shot-the ones you chastised me for not mentioning.
