Of course it never once occurs to Mr. Tatro to ask a very simple
question concerning virtually ALL of those "64 Grassy Knoll" witnesses
-- i.e., WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY NEVER HEARD EVEN **ONE** SINGLE SHOT
FROM THE TSBD?
Bill Newman said that he heard ALL THE SHOTS coming from the "little
mound of ground" there on the Knoll. Which means what exactly?
I'll tell you what it means...it means William Newman (and all of the
other 50+ witnesses who said that EVERY SHOT came from the Knoll area)
are wrong! Simple as that. They HAVE to be wrong....or else buy into
the notion that NO SHOTS came from the TSBD...which would make even a
larger pct. of earwitnesses WRONG re. all the shots those "TSBD Only"
people
heard.
The answer to this is so obvious that it's almost embarrassing to have
to say it.....Those Grassy Knoll witnesses (by the very fact they did
not hear different sounds/shots coming from multiple places) heard
only Lee Harvey Oswald's shots from the Depository, and the acoustical
environment in Dealey Plaza was playing tricks on them.
There is no other logical explanation for 55 to 60 people (or however
many witnesses the various conspiracists wish to place in the "ONLY
HEARD KNOLL SHOTS" category, which we know is dead-wrong, because even
CTers admit to a few audible rear/TSBD shots) to say they heard only
shots from the front, when we know that's impossible in this case.
I had several lively, sarcastic-filled discussions online with Mr.
Tatro a few weeks ago at a place on the Internet called "Olney Daily
Mail"....but when the site demanded cash to continue to post, I packed
up the LN gear and said bye...but my main points were made well before
the money machine stepped in to silence us cheapskates. ;)
Naturally, Mr. Tatro just ignored/skewed/sidestepped everything I
argued, like he's doing with V. Bugliosi in his above batch of
nonsense.
And Tatro, in my discussions with him too, was harping on the
"windshield" and John Hunt's brilliance and how JBC's clothing was a
possible key to the case in some way (I can't see how at all, of
course, since even most CTers agree that Connally was shot with just
one bullet from behind; so where's the beef there? Beats me; but it's
a CT fighting point since Nellie washed John's shirt--*gasp!*)
I've looked at Mr. Hunt's work re. Bob Frazier, and it's totally
unconvincing IMO. For one thing, the photos of 399 he provides prove
nothing. I can't even see the initials of Frazier and Killion! So
Elmer Todd's scratch marks could be on there somewhere. No way to tell
from those pictures.
And the "timing" mix-up re. Frazier getting CE399 at "7:30" vs. around
9 PM on 11/22/63 is just silly too. Because if Frazier is the little
"creep" (as Tatro said Hunt called Frazier; although I missed that
invective in Mr. Hunt's expansive essays on him), WHY on Earth didn't
Frazier make an effort to simply change his "7:30" time to match the
time of Todd?
Did Frazier WANT to be called a plotter after the fact?! It makes no
sense. It was simply a mix-up in the times, which couldn't BE more
common in almost any criminal case; or in ANYTHING in life, for that
matter. Such "time" discrepancies probably happened a dozen times in
the JFK/Tippit case alone, in fact.
Sorry, Ed T.; I'm going with Vince. (Until you can produce a few of
those non-LHO bullets anyway.)

Good post David and thanks for specifying "Ed T."
MR ;~D
I have a couple of ancient writings by Ed Tatro on the NAA. (Ancient
means '60s or '70s). He didn't make any more sense then than he does now.
