Just when you think Walt Cakebread has reached a new height in
goofiness, he goes and says something that's even more retarded.
Maybe Walt should watch the '63 SS film a few more times (linked
below). And maybe he should pay some attention to the position of SS
Agent Howlett while Howlett performs his re-creation while sitting on
a box in the Sniper's Nest, as he points an imaginary "rifle" (his
arm) out the SN window.
And since Oswald wasn't required (by law) to STAY in any one
particular position during the entire shooting timeline, it's quite
possible that Oswald re-positioned himself after firing his first
shot. And maybe he re-positioned his firing stance a little more for
shot #3.
But this Secret Service film clearly demonstrates that a shooter
sitting on a box in the SN has a clear line of sight to the street
below with the window only halfway open. (And when comparing CE482 to
the Howlett demonstration in the SS film, it looks to me like the
window is open to approximately the same height in each.)

Now, let's sit back and watch Walt try to tell us that he knows with
absolute certainty exactly what position the SN sniper was in when he
fired each of his three shots at JFK.*
And Walt will attempt to tell us that unknowable fact by utilizing
Brennan's testimony*, which, of course, is testimony that Walt has
already mangled and misrepresented to the point where Walter should
probably be locked up -- because if there isn't some kind of law
against deliberately distorting a witness' words, there ought to be
one. And if such a law were on the books, Walt would be in the State
Pen right now.
* = Oops, I nearly forgot....Walt doesn't think anybody was really
firing a gun at JFK from the southeast SN window. He thinks the real
killer was on the WEST end of the TSBD. Which means Walt can't make up
any imaginary and unknowable details about Oswald's shooting
stance(s). He'd have to switch everything to the WEST side of the
building to do that kind of imagining.
So sorry, Walt. I forgot for a second that I was dealing with a
retarded person who actually thinks Howard Brennan saw a gunman on the
west side of the Depository.
