Paul Rigby Wrote:Actually, CD, it was me, not Peter, who insisted the assassinations were carried out in plain site - a point with which you clearly agree.
You declare the obvious with an air of discovery. The deaths occured in plain sight; the instruments of those deaths were not readily visible.
Paul Rigby Wrote:Greer benefited from the fact the assassination site was at the end of the parade, at a relatively unpopulated site. He was further shield by the terrain, and the other vehicles in the motorcade. RFK's killer, by contrast, boasted the "sophisticated camouflage" of the victim's body; and was inevitably, like Greer, also seen shooting.
"Shielded"??? Greer was in full view of any number of bystanders and photographers during the shooting sequence.
Are we both talking about the events in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 PM on November 22, 1963? I know that I am.
As for RFK's killer: Please identify this person. It was not SBS. It was not Thane Eugene Cesar.
Paul Rigby Wrote:Now if you were more familiar with the fuller exposition of the Elm St shooting scenario which centers on Greer, you'd know that it, too, posits (a) decoy shot(s), only this time from the rear[.]
I'm quite familiar with the likely shooting scenario -- and now, thanks to you, with another fantasy version to join those of the WC and HSCA.
Of course at least one decoy shot was fired -- a fact which has zero probative value in terms of your hypothesis.
Paul Rigby Wrote:Altgens' photograph, which was taken about three seconds after the decoy shot was fired, when enlarged (Fig. 3-4) shows Secret Service agent Warren W. Taylor, in the rear left seat, of the Vice-President's follow-up car. His arm is outside of the open car door; the configuration of his hand suggests he is holding a gun. Those people in the car immediately behind smelled gunpowder.
Again, zero probative value for your case. And I have no problem whatsoever with the suggestion that Taylor was a co-conspirator.
See Evica's "Terrible Sound" essay for a truly rational and deep political analysis of the "firecracker," its origins and functions.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
