Duke Lane on Richard Randolph Carr

Thanks for that link, Dave, I enjoyed reading that thread. Duke
Lane (anyone know if he is CT or LN?) has done a fine job of
researching Carr`s claims, and presenting the available information.
Something interesting regarding Carr is his claim in his Shaw
trial testimony that he was one of a handful of survivors from the
Fifth Ranger Battalion at Anzio. Problem with that being they weren`t
at Anzio.

I would say Mr. Lane has a good point.
You could see the part of the building he described
from the snipers nest. Therefore, you could see the snipers
nest from the building.

But what about ground level?

I don`t think that is true. Carr said he was on the fifth floor (Shaw
trial), and that portion of the New County Courthouse is probably the 10th
floor on up. Carr would have been on the fatter, base portion of the
building, not the narrower upper portion that photo shows. The view from
the fifth floor would be blocked by the Old Red Brick courthouse...

In any case, here is another view down Houston...

There is a yellow bus about as far down Houston as Carr was from the SN.
Does anyone think they could make out glasses from that distance (Duke
Lane put the distance at 850 feet from Carr`s location to the TSBD).

There are two problems for Carr as a witness, line of sight, and
distance. Three, if you count the inconsistencies in his accounts.

Nothing left to be said after that. Good post.
I was just referiing to the distinction Duke made about
the top of the George Allen Building.

Once again Reitzes pulls material from another forum over to aaj for
discussion. Another indication that actual research occurs elsewhere?

Is there something wrong with alerting members of this forum to items
of interest elsewhere?
>Another indication that actual research occurs elsewhere?
You're saying it doesn't?

I e-mailed Duke Lane, and informed him of the lies Richard Randolph
Carr told during his Shaw trial testimony concerning his military
service. He took the ball and ran with it...

Very interesting. If you haven't read it, AMERICAN GROTESQUE describes
how some of the Shaw trial attendees reacted to Carr's testimony. It's
quite amusing.
Dave
Bud
Haven`t read it, next time I get to the library I`ll look for it.
Another interesting thing Carr said in his testimony was that he
hunted with a 70mm rifle. I guess he was hunting dinosaur.

Also amusing is what appeared in Duke Lane`s recent post about Richard
Carr. A poster named J.Raymond Carro wrote "Some members of the McAdams
group are jealous. How come you don`t see researchers of Duke`s caliber on
their forum, they wonder." He then linked to this post. I haven`t seen
anyone wondering any such thing in this post, so I guess accuracy isn`t
his long suit. I tried to join the forum, but I got a message saying they
weren`t taking any new members. Which is probably better for them, because
I would only snipe at people like Carro there anyway.
In any case, a better question might be why wasn`t what Carr had to say
researched and scrutinized by all the conspiracy authors over the years
that used what he related in their books? There seems to be a tendency by
many CT to cling to information they like the sound of, without looking
too closely to it. Compare the beating Brennan takes to the kid gloves
they use on Carr.
And for those interested, I made a post making many of the points Duke
Lane made on the Education Forum on the nuthouse back in October. I was
spurred to look into Carr by the same comments on the Education Forum (by
someone who said they visited Dealy, and couldn`t see much from Carr`s
vantage) that I think piqued Lane`s interest.
Granted Lane`s work is much superior, and I could never find a photo
that contained the steelwork of the New County Courthouse in it online.

excellent research on Carr; is in some part credited to you or your
actions. Couple this with the fact that you would "only snipe at people
like Carro there anyway" and it is of great relief to many current members
of the Education Forum that they are not accepting new members at this
time.
For your perusal I have included a link which has a picture showing that
the 'scaffolding' that Carr said he was standing on and from which he
viewed the sixth floor window, is clearly visible. I hope this helps
somehow.

No, I don`t take any credit for his "excellent research". I take
credit for pointing out to him an area that needed some "excellent
research".

Seems I`d have to spend too much time explaining to the other
posters what I said anyway.

You need to be a member to use that feature.
In any case, here is a slew of problems about what you just said,
outlined in Duke`s article. From that distance, he could not have made
out the details he claims. He has no line of sight to the where the
car he saw the person get into was. Discrepancies in his accounts
changes his location. But I`m sure if you need him hanging on the
outside of the scaffolding with binoculars to pretend he is a viable
witness, thats what you will do.

You have to be a registered member in order to see the picture.

I wasn't aware there was a competition underway. Should we start
softball teams? \:^)

Apparently there is a fierce rivalry.

Anything but a speling bee.
