Something for the eye not the brain

Seven million views in one month 

Despite well made for the eye, this video is nothing but a rather boring  repetition of the Warren Commission Report with some window dressing doubts added to make it appear serious. I guess there are seven million confused viewers left behind.

David Wangstedt, 30 years old,  the man behind that Docu

Don't let me be misunderstood. The computer animation is excellent ... and very useful for every researcher to refresh his memory of the inside of the TSDB and the location of some witnesses ...   BUT ... INSIDE THE SCHOOLBOOK DEPOSITORY BUILDING is like INSIDE THE TARGET CAR. Different day, same sh...t. You can't grab the TSDB or the Lincoln Limo only and do a good research job on the assassination when several other cars, buildings and locations are involved.  


Let's do a little critique
First I pick chapter VII

00:00:00 Intro
00:01:32 Chapter I: The Hiring of Oswald
00:04:44 Chapter II: The Curtain Rods
00:08:51 Chapter III: The Motorcade Route
00:15:38 Chapter IV: The Sixth Floor
00:19:57 Chapter V: The Shooting
00:24:53 Chapter VI: The Men In the Windows
00:34:30 Chapter VII: The Gunshots
00:34:30 Chapter VII: The Gunshots
Quote ... " the gunman (why just one?) was either placed in the vicinity of the Book Depository building (...) or and aera (...) known as the grasy knoll ..."

The possibility that there were more than one shooter, and shooters in the TSBD AND the grasy knoll aera does occur to David Wangstedt but he gave the greatest credit to the ole echo argument. Witnesses heard echos and we will never know the source of the shots. Wangstedt omitted that there were activities observed on the grasy knoll too. For example he cites Lee Bowers regarding what he heard, but omits what he saw. He does not mention Gordon Arnold, Ed Hoffman or Jean Hill. He does not mention the railroad workers on the triple overpass, not one of them and the puff of smoke some of them saw at the picket fence. 
(...)
Wangstedt takes for granted that Jarman, Norman and Williams where on the fifth floor under the Oswald window, when there is a good reason to assume, they were at the sixth floor at the west side of the TSBD where they were laying plywood at the time of the shooting. 

00:41:06 Chapter VIII: The Escape
00:46:06 Chapter IX: The Stairway
00:54:01 Chapter X: The Sniper's Nest
01:11:47 Chapter XI: The Alibis
01:22:15 Chapter XII: The Lineup
01:27:44 Ending

to be continued

Actually, the video in question is extremely good and informative, as I discussed here in July....

@David Von Pein It is a good optical tool to refresh some data about locations of witnesses, buildings, cars, the movements of people involved and gave an excellent view of the interior of the TSDB, but the narrative is extremely cherry-picked and full of omissions.

The tenor of this production is the well known agnostic sermon: We will never know ... the production will hardly produce a new generation of Lone Nutters. CTers can use the brilliant animations for there cause ...

???? Karl, what good reason do you have to assume these 3 men were on the 6th floor at the time of the shooting?

Do you dismiss Dillard's photograph as well as the testimonies of Malcolm Couch, Pierce Allman, Robert Jackson & James Underwood?

OUCH!!! That was painful. Well put together, but gutless, and a bit of a con. The ending presents this false dichotomy where one is supposed to choose between thinking the sloppiness of the evidence is part of a vast conspiracy or not, accent on the not. Our 30 year old wunderkind also asks why go to the trouble of killing JFK in a complicated plot when someone could have just walked up and shot him. He seems oblivious to the possibility 1: the killers wanted to get away with it; and 2. they wanted to blame someone else. 

Yes, OBVIOUSLY, 90% of conspiracy talk is nonsense and a distraction. But this young techie attitude that well we'll never know, kinda interesting, huh? is just pathetic. 

For example, the video gets into the weeds of the Vickie Adams story and then just kinda throws up its hands. Well, he said, she said, let's move on. It doesn't delve into Ball/Belin's refusal to get to the bottom of this beyond noting that they failed to do a reconstruction.  Similarly, it discusses the problems with the size of the bag, and that it wasn't filmed in situ,  without noting that NONE of those first on the scene, including Fritz, saw such a bag. No, instead, it quotes a motorcycle cop, Brewer, who wrote nothing and said nothing about the bag until more than 4 months after the shooting...when Belin realized he needed SOMEONE ANYONE to say they saw the bag in the sniper's nest, seeing as EVERY officer who'd been questioned on the matter had denied seeing it during the initial investigation. 

It goes on and on. Style over substance.
