Second, nobody else seems to see this but me but it is just plain to me Doris Holan witnessed and told a version of the Callaway-gunman shouting/armwaving interaction at each other as they went opposite directions on Patton, with the big 200 pound man in the "driveway" being Callaway in the alley next to Callaway's car lot as Doris Holan looked east from 113 S. Patton. Greg, Callaway wasn't in the alley or even near it when Oswald made his way down Patton. Guinyard... Yes. Callaway... No. In the image below (at the time Oswald made his trek down the west side of Patton)... Blue = Tippit's patrol car Brown = Holan apartment Yellow = Sam Guinyard Red = Ted Callaway

Ok. You don't know then. No. I didn't say that. This is a question for Myers, not me and (again) I'm not going to speak for him. If you lack the balls to ask him yourself, then so be it.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Posner has a couple of credibility problems. Chief among these is that he claimed he'd talked to the autopsy doctors and that they'd admitted they were wrong about the head wound entrance location. This wasn't true. Boswell shot him down. Pat, can you elaborate further on this or link me to a place where I may have a look? I know most of the Parkland medical personnel retracted their original statements (in interviews with Posner), regarding the location of the head wound, etc... But the autopsy doctors? I don't read and/or follow Posner too much at all so I'm unaware.

Oswald said it in a written letter to his brother Robert. This is JFKA 101.

I have spoken to Brownlow in person perhaps a half dozen times now. I don't believe 80% of what he says. Pulte, aligning himself with Brownlow, has zero credibility with me.

Holan's apartment on Patton to Tippit's stopped patrol car. No line of sight...

Based on the maps and their distance scales that I reviewed this morning, I'd say the distance from her apartment to the shooting scene was no more than 220 feet... Again, it is 114 feet from the corner of Tenth and Patton to where Tippit fell. Without using scales, just looking at it with the naked eye on Google Earth, the distance from the spot where Tippit fell to the location where the apartment was on Patton looks (at least to me) to be at least twice the distance as it is from the spot where Tippit fell to the corner. This would make it at least 228 feet. Either way, it is much greater a distance than you tried to pass off yesterday when you said it was 150 feet. ...and we should keep in mind that her second-story apartment was a good 18-20 feet above the ground. The point you are trying to make here is to support your claim made yesterday that from her apartment on Patton, "Ms. Holan may indeed have been able to see Tippit and his car". Invalid point. The house on the corner (400 E. Tenth, the residence of both Barbara Davis and Virginia Davis), as well as the house next to it (404 E. Tenth), were pretty much just as high a structure as was the building that Holan lived in on Patton. From the apartment on Patton, Holan's view to the location of Tippit's patrol car would be blocked by the first two houses (400 and 404). These two houses are in a direct line from Holan's apartment to the location of Tippit's stopped patrol car. The period photos to which I referred are the 1964 FBI photos of the Tippit scene and of the surrounding area, the Heikes photo, and Commission Exhibits 523 and 530. CE 530 is a photo that shows the building in which Ms. Holan lived from the vantage point of a point on Tenth St., and keep in mind that Ms. Holan's second-story apartment was on the northern end of the building, i.e., the end that was closer to Tenth St. Note also that the building on the southern Tenth and Patton corner was at least 20-30 feet from the southern sidewalk and another 6 feet or so from the street. CE 523 is an annotated map of the Tippit scene that seems to show that Ms. Holan would have been able to see Tippit and his patrol car from her second-floor apartment. CE 523 seems to show that the two houses between her building and Tippit's car would not have obstructed her view of the shooting scene. No Sir. The "period photos" do no such thing. The first two houses (400 and 404) are just as tall as the building Holan lived in. These two houses are in a direct line from Holan's apartment to the location of Tippit's stopped patrol car. The first photo (below) shows the Davis house (white two story structure, far left). On the far right, you can see the shadowy image of the building of the Holan apartment halfway down the block. The second photo (below) shows the first two houses and the location of Tippit's stopped patrol car. The third photo (below) depicts Tippit's stopped patrol car and shows the 404 house in the background. By your own admission, Holan's apartment was as much as 220 feet from where that police car is and on the OTHER SIDE of that house. No way could Holan have had a view of Tippit's car from her apartment on Patton.

Bob, go to the Myers blog and find the article. He has them sorted in a manner which makes them easy to locate by date. Simply scroll down to the comments section and ask him that exact question.

And a comment comes flying in out of left field from the peanut gallery.

It's not a matter of knowing or not knowing. You're asking me to speak for someone else and no matter how many times you ask, I am not going to do that.

You mentioned what you believe to be a bullet hole in the "death stare" photo. Pat Speer asked you: "Where is the entry wound? And who said they saw it?" You replied: "It's above the right eye in this photo, just below the hairline. Dr. Charles Crenshaw claims that he saw it in the Parkland ER." But Crenshaw does NOT claim to see such a thing. Crenshaw described the gaping wound; never anything about a bullet hole.

Oswald's motive for shooting at General Walker was the same as he had for assassinating the President. Marxism and Cuba. Oswald wanted the United States Government to keep it's hands off of Cuba. Oswald told Capt. Will Fritz that he was a Marxist, that he belonged to the Fair Play For Cuba organization and that he was in favor of Fidel Castro's revolution. Before the revolution, Castro, with his Marxist beliefs, condemned social and economic inequality in Cuba. He adopted the Marxist view that meaningful political change could only be brought about by proletariat revolution. While Castro was imprisoned for the failed attack on the Moncada Barracks in Cuba, his wife took employment with the Ministry of the Interior. Castro was enraged and insulted. His Marxist beliefs were so strong that filed for divorce. Mirta (Castro's wife) took custody of their son Fidelito. The thought of his son growing up in a bourgeois environment further enraged Castro. Oswald agreed strongly with the Marxist beliefs of Castro. During the revolution, the U.S. Government feared that Castro was a socialist. In early January of 1959, Batista was overthrown by the rebels and he fled. The revolution was a crucial turning point in relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Originally, the U.S. government was willing to recognize Castro's new government. However, the U.S. government would eventually fear that Communist insurgencies would spread through Latin America, as they had in Southeast Asia. On March 5, 1963, Major General Edwin Walker gave a speech where he called on the White House to "liquidate the (communist) scourge that has descended upon the island of Cuba." Walker was obviously referring to Fidel Castro. Oswald ordered his rifle seven days later. Captain Fritz told the Warren Commission: "I got the impression that he was doing it because of his feeling about the Castro revolution, and I think that he felt, he had a lot of feeling about that revolution. I think that was the reason. I noticed another thing. I noticed a little before when Walker was shot, he had come out with some statements about Castro and about Cuba and a lot of things and if you will remember the President had some stories a few weeks before his death about Cuba and about Castro and some things, and I wondered if that didn't have some bearing. I have no way of knowing that other than just watching him and talking to him. I think it was his feeling about his belief in being a Marxist, he told me he had debated in New Orleans, and that he tried to get converts to this Fair Play for Cuba organization, so I think that was his motive. I think he was doing it because of that." The image below is from the Wichita Falls Record News March 7, 1963 (Image courtesy of Dale Myers)

"Gaping wound". Correct. Not a bullet hole. Now tell that to W. Niederhut.

To "debate the evidence in good faith", one doesn't put words in the witness' mouth, as you've done with Crenshaw. There is a huge difference between seeing a wound and assuming it's an entry wound and seeing a bullet hole. You were misleading with your claim that Crenshaw said he saw a bullet hole. He didn't say that. It matters.

It's already been posted and nowhere in that entire video does Crenshaw say that he saw a bullet hole there. You were wrong to say such a thing.

Wouldn't you have to ask him?

Why not first address your (still unsupported) claim that Crenshaw said he saw a bullet hole?

Then you're being foolish. A postal zip code directory is of no use. We're talking about addresses, not zip codes. You're not making sense.

One bell ring for 1 PM. If the Old Red Courthouse bell rings only on the hour, then any bell we (supposedly) hear is unrelated, since the assassination happened at 12:30.

That bell is from the Old Red Courthouse.

Absolutely unrelated to the ridiculous claim that Crenshaw said he saw a bullet hole right there.

Responding to the wrong person? No. I responded to you, exactly as shown. How will a postal zip code directory help?
