Cory Santos Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) If he was the shooter, why did he not shoot from the roof? Better concealment. No worry if Williams is still there eating. No need to arrange boxes. Roof gives better unobstructed view. Harder for SS to shoot back at you. Edited March 4, 2019 by Cory Santos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Von Pein Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) The TSBD roof was not a feasible location for an assassin.....as we find out in the WC testimony of policeman Marrion L. Baker, who said this.... "I immediately went around all the sides of the ledges up there, and after I got on top I found out that a person couldn't shoot off that roof because when you stand up you have to put your hands like this, at the top of that ledge and if you wanted to see over, you would have to tiptoe to see over it."

Joseph McBride Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Because he didn't own a gun. Because he admired John F. Kennedy. Because he was infiltrating the plot for the FBI (so he thought). Next question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One photo after JFK had been shot and they were speeding to Parkland shows a person on a building and what could be, but I have not seem close up enough, a rifle. Maybe it was a broom?

I have not been up there. I will say shooting from the sixth floor is terrible because of how low the window opening is. Curious, why did he just not throw a grenade out the window and hope no one sees him? Would have made more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee was all out of grenades on 11/22. All he had left was his Carcano and his Smith & Wesson. (Damn the luck.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, I was told by someone who would know that in actuality, an experienced sniper -if it was a conspiracy- with proper military training could have easily concealed himself in Dealey, even in the trees and no one would have saw him. They are that good at concealment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Von Pein Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Ron Bulman said: Because he was never ever on the roof. Correct. He was on the sixth floor----where his gun was, where his paper bag was, where his prints were (right IN the Sniper's Nest, which CTers have no problem with whatsoever), and where shells from his gun were located. A failing first-grader could figure out the solution to this crime. CTers, however, can't seem to do it.

Joseph McBride Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 David must get awfully tired of spewing his baseless 1964-vintage clichés about the case but probably closes his eyes and thinks of his regular checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy on the roof you are thinking of was part of the security detail provided by the Head of security for the Trade Mart. He posted guys on nearby rooftops; and no, it wasn't a broom. I'm sorry, I can't remember his name right now. Earlier, you had asked, " f he was the shooter, why did he not shoot from the roof?... Harder for SS to shoot back at you. Somebody, Winston Lawson or Thomas Kelley maybe, told the WC that that wasn't the SS's job. Shooting back at suspected assassins was the local police's job.
