Some McAdams types try to argue that Ms Mercer's witnessing was implausible because of the ridiculousness of the conspirators operating out in broad daylight by carrying guns on the Knoll an hour and a half prior to the assassination. This isn't ridiculous at all. Who was going to arrest them? The Dallas police? The Secret Service? FBI? And what if an innocent cop did stop them? The answer is Bernard Barker would have jumped out with his genuine Secret Service ID and secured the scene. Not implausible at all. The Dallas Police were ordered to stand down and not cover any motorcade protection duties. To suggest the carrying of a gun on the Knoll was an absurd notion is to ignore the established level corruption existing that in Dealey Plaza that day.
