Wow, you use the phrase "Steel Jacketted" as if it means something suspicious.
It means that it transformed from a steel-jacketed bullet to a copper-jacketed bullet while in DPD’s custody.
How come?
Shooting walker demonstrates his intent to kill someone high profile.
Because you just say so? Were is the evidence?
I'm sorry, I thought I was talking to a well-read assassination expert.
I'll slow down for you: The bad (Oswald) man shot the President and the policeman.
You did not State who you were refering to when you stated that Oswald had told Marina that he had shot ”him”. JFK or Tippit. Hense my question.
So, what ”statement” from Marina are you refering to here?
The question is if the three officers had ever seen a Carcano before 6/22/1963. The obvious answer is no.
Also, you haven't specified if the Mauser they saw was a rifle or a pistol, nor have you specified the model of Mauser they didn't actually see.
If you knew anything about these rifles you'd know they look similar.
For the record, Mauser rifles used 6.5x55mm rounds, not 6.5x52mm rounds.
The specified it as a Mauser rifle with a scope.
The crime of the century and three police officers get the brand of the rifle wrong? In written and signed affidavits? Then, after a good nights sleep, two of them suddely ”remember” much clearer that is was a Carcano rifle, while the third of them still remember a ”wrong” rifle?
Come on ... you are kidding ... ?!?
Oswald bought the rifle from Klein's Sporting Goods under the name A.Hidell, and had it shipped to a post office box( P.O. Box 2915) which was registered under his own name.
Did he? Evidence?
His wife took 3 photographs of him holding the rifle.
Did she? Evidence?
Oswald was seen at Sportsdome Gun Range in Grand Prairie, TX., by Howard Price, and Garland Slack (who fired from the next stall to Oswald), and Dr. Homer Wood and his son. He stood out because he had an Italian rifle.
While Oswald at the same time was in Mexico City, yes?
Oswald was on the 6th floor of the TSBD at the time of the shooting.
Evidence?
Yes. No Mauser was found.
More to the point; there's no reason to lie about a second rifle being found on the 6th floor because at the time of the search nobody knew who they are looking for, nor how many suspects may have been responsible. This is why DPD detained a lot of men in the area right after the assassination. This is why DPD turned that building inside out on every floor.
One reason could be that the Mauser belonged to another employee and was not used in the assassination. Why they in that case chosed a Carcanao to frame Oswald and not another brand is beyond me. Maby they had that rifle laying around somewhere and found it conveniant, who knows.
The thing is, you can’t be sure, can you.
Shells were discovered by Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney, who notified Capt. J. W. Fritz, chief of the homicide bureau of the Dallas Police Department, who stood over them ordering nothing to be disturbed until the crime lab guys could take photographs. Fritz then took custody of the shells and forwarded them to the FBI.
Fritz neglected to send all three. He left one in his coat pocket, but sent it to the FBI as soon as he discovered it.
All three casings had been ejected from the Carcano recovered on the same floor.
None of the shells have the correct signature on it. On top of that, there is
two chains of custody, one going directly to Dallas FBI, one to Fritz at DPD.
It’s a mess.
Evidence?
Yes, the bullet that hit JFK in the head shattered as evident in the photograph of the fragments you didn't bother to look at.
Eh .. what? I just told you that it was two big pieces of a bullet beneath the front seats belonging to the bullet that allegedly hit JFK in the back of the head, splittring in to two parts before landing on the floor.
In addition the were other much smaller fragments, in JFK and Connally, from their wounds.
If you look at the bullet recovered at Parkland you can where small fragments broke off on the nose and on the damaged under side.
The fragment in the nose was taken out after it was found by the FBI lab and the damaged underside could not be the source of all the fragments found.
The better question is why it wasn't lost in the first place.
No. Again. Do you have a chain of custody on this bullet?
The Carcano is accurate out to 1,000 yards, the 6.5x52mm round Oswald used were 160-grains, and moved at 2,700 feet per second. These bullets can penetrate four feet of Ponderosa Pine and two feet of Elm wood emerging undamaged. The length of the bullet makes it "over-stablized", meaning that after the first penetration they begin cartwheeling like helicopter blades, which would account for the smooth entry and exit through JFK's body and the nastier wounds Connally received from the same round.
Connallys entry wound in the back was almost round = no ”helicopter” bullet.
This is the fragment recovered from his wrist:
https://catalog.archives.gov/id/305166
Does it look small enough to have come from the bullets underside? There is also more than this. Some of it is still burried in Connallys thigh. More still if you count the missing evidence bags with additional bullet fragments.
The reality of the Carcano is that it was an over-powered weapon that had devastating effects on the men Oswald shot.
I’m not arguing the power of the weapon, am I?
The cop he was trying to kill got his hand on the weapon the instant Oswald pulled the trigger and stopped the hammer from striking with the webbing between his thumb and forefinger.
I thought you were a well-read expert.
The problem is that ”the cop” changed his story a couple of times, but I’m sure you know the correct one.
Do you?
His?
And these are all coming from Oswalds alleged revolver to the exclusion of all other revolvers?
Identified Oswald as the shooter of Tippit? Any quotes?
Did he now? Quotes?
HM: I do not recognize anyone.
WC: What about number two ..?
HM: Yes, it was number two ... I said number two ...
Is this a good testimony from a trustworthy witness?
Barbara Jeanette and Virginia Davis
Quotes?
Others? Who?
Really, because only one other DPD officer was killed in the line of duty in 1963 (Ray Underwood). One was killed a year prior (Leonard C. Mullenax), and before that you have to go back to 1951(Johnny W. Sides).
Parkland logged around 400 gunshot wounds, most of those being accidental in nature.
Dallas was hardly the wild west in 1963, and only a fool would take on the cops when their blood is up like after the JFK shooting,
Still, it could have been for another reson. Maby he understod that he was being framed. The point is that the connection has to be shown, it can’t just be asumed.
That is IF he shot Tippit which I still awaiting evidence of.
Except that Oswald shot Tippit after killing JFK.
Which has to be proven one killing at a time, on its own merits.
He didn't have the pistol on him when the went to work.
How do you know he picked up a pistol while home changing clothes?
1. Evidence for carrying
A rifle to work that day?
2. Evidence for it being
HIS rifle?
What gun?
Yes he worked at the TSBD but so did a lot of people.
eye-witnesses from the ground see him shoot,
Who saw him shoot? Quote.
and he's the only employee not accounted for after the shooting.
No. There were almost twenty employees missing when Oswald was ”found missing”. There never were a ”role call”, and people came and left as they pretty much pleased.
Because his gun didn't go off as planned. He obviously wanted to die by being shot by police, making him a Marxist revolutionary hero.
Fantasies abound. Why yelling that he did NOT resist arrest if he WANTED to be shot?
No. In 1963 this was an exotic case. In 2018, after years of lone men rampaging with guns Oswald hardly stands out as unique these days.
It doesn’t matter, your claim must be grounded in evidence.
Do you have any?
You argue chain of possession, yet ignore chain of events. Typical CT failure.
What? I’m asking you to provide any evidence for your claim of the chain of events, exactly.
Tons if you bother reading books not written by the delusional.
Good. I’m looking forward of seeing them for the first time. I have really been digging but found none.
Wow, I thought you were a well-read assassination expert.
On November 16, 1963, the Dallas Morning News reported the first details of the Kennedy motorcade, and while it didn't have detail the turn onto Elm Street, it did not that the cars world traverse Main Street. That day Oswald goes to the shooting range, and later that night he appears in the Alright Parking Garage which overlooks Main Street, and approaches an employee named Hubert Morrow.
Oswald asked Morrow if you could see Main Street from the roof. According to Morrow, Oswald was carrying his rifle wrapped in brown paper with the muzzle sticking out at the end. Oswald asked if he could check out the roof and was told to get lost. He came the next day to apply for a job at the garage with another employee, Viola Sapp.
Later Oswald applied fora job at the Adolphus Hotel on Commerce Street.
Was this at the same time that he was in Mexico City trying to get a visa to Cuba?
He denied everything, but he also lied about everything during his interrogation.
The same interrogations no one took notes on? Or used a tape recorder? The same?
What ”lies” did he tell?
Ruby was mafia in the same way Sinatra was mafia.
No. Sinatra was not a criminal. Ruby was and the liaison between the mob and the DPD in Dallas. Nobody is trying to argue against this well established fact these days.
Who was the first to visit him after he got arrested when silencing the patsy?
It's clear in the press footage that he's having a good time. The interviews with the Dallas Police after all indicate he was enjoying himself.
Is it? I see an innocent young dude trying to understand what is really happening to him.
Again, I thought you were a well-read assassination expert.
It's not a smear, it's fact.
When Oswald landed at Love Field upon his return from the Soviet Union the first thing he asked his mother was: "Where's the press", and then he pouted all the way home because nobody cared. He thought he'd be a celebrity in the Soviet Union, and was stuck at a television factory, and comes home thinking he'd make the front page only to find his mother.
Again, what is your source of this? Is it not remarkable that a defected Marine, expert in radar systems and proximity to CIA’s most top secret spy-planes (U-2) on the bases in Japan and the Phillipines, get his passport back and money from US Gov. to go back home with his russian wife and newborn baby? When threatening the staff on the US Embassy in Moscow of revealing everything he knows of military secrets to the Soviets?
And he doesn’t even get a, debriefing when arriving home?
Are you unavare of his massive plagiarism? That he had to ”leave” his job as chief investigator when he was found out?
