Guest Mark Valenti Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 At around the 53:00 mark in this video, reporter Charles Murphy says that Fort Worth police had stopped "the car wanted in the assassination of President Kennedy." The suspect was in custody. He goes on to say that, according to a Dallas reporter, James Kerr, JD Tippit was shot by an unknown assailant in a car.
Ron Ecker Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 In cases like the JFK assassination, it is customary for significant early news reports to get immediately buried and forgotten. Which speaks volumes about our media. Examples: Right after the Reagan shooting, Judy Woodruff reported that one shot came from an upper floor. Right after the OKC bombing, there was a news report of additional explosives found. Right after the collapse of WTC7 on 9/11, Dan Rather reported that it looked like a controlled demolition. All followed up with silence.
Brian Schmidt Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Those are good examples, Ron. You mention an upper floor shot in the Reagan assassination attempt. I've always found the figure in the image below strange:

There's also a crowd eye-pokingly close to the brolly. Edited May 14, 2015 by David Andrews

Ron Ecker Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Ahh, it was Donald Wayne House, GM reminded me. A potential patsy? I remember the name but that's about all.
