Lurkers, did someone produce where the Warren Commission stated their position on this? I didn`t see it. And even if he did produce it, could it be trusted? He does like to change people`s words.

Lurkers, is Ben claiming that most of America has watched the clip DVP linked to and have sided with him that it shows the two men being hit with two different bullets? His lies are getting more outrageous, he really is off the deep end.

Lurkers, Ben is a stump. I`m sure you realize that since Ben`s expressed ideas are shots from the front and mine are shots from the back, that the ideas that Chaney expressed in the TV interview support my ideas and do harm to his.

Lurkers, you`ll notice I have no problem linking to the information that supports my contentions. Here is the video again...
https://youtu.be/SzNkaFt8grg
At about 0:55 Llyod asks Chaney if he saw the person who took the shots. Chaney replies (and I won`t put quotes on it for fear of getting a word wrong) No sir, it was back over my right shoulder. Now, he says "right", but he tilts his head to indicate his left. I thing the word he uses in wrong and the motion, which comes from reenacting the event in his head is correct. But in any case, he turns his body slightly to indicate behind him. Can any honest person (and Ben has clearly disqualified himself as such) say that Chaney is not indicating behind him? When someone says "back over my shoulder", where else in the world can they mean? This is bolstered by the interview he gave to the FBI, where he told them the shots definitely came from behind him.
Clearly, Ben has no interest in the truth and only wants to play gotcha games by cherry picking information.

Lurkers, Ben hates the truth, so he is forced to play semantics games to try to brush away information that is inconvenient to his ideas. Ben wanted to make pretend that this TV interview was some great thing that bolstered his ideas, but in reality what he says in that interview is consistent and supportive of the idea of Oswald taking shots from the TSBD. He can`t lift one quote from Chaney in this interview that hurts any ideas I have, or helps any of his.

Lurkers, this is retarded and unsupportable. I`ll just produce a little testimony John Connally that illustrates why, there is more...
"I immediately thought that this--that I had been shot. I knew it when I just looked down and I was covered with blood, and the thought immediately passed through my mind that there were either two or three people involved or more in this or someone was shooting with an automatic rifle. These were just thoughts that went through my mind because of the rapidity of these two, of the first shot plus the blow that I took, and I knew I had been hit, and I immediately assumed, because of the amount of blood, and in fact, that it had obviously passed through my chest. that I had probably been fatally hit.
So I merely doubled up, and then turned to my right again and began to--I just sat there, and Mrs. Connally pulled me over to her lap. She was sitting, of course, on the jump seat, so I reclined with my head in her lap, conscious all the time, and with my eyes open; and then, of course, the third shot sounded, and I heard the shot very clearly. I heard it hit him. I heard the shot hit something, and I assumed again--it never entered my mind that it ever hit anybody but the President. I heard it hit. It was a very loud noise, just that audible, very clear.
Immediately I could see on my clothes, my clothing, I could see on the interior of the car which, as I recall, was a pale blue, brain tissue, which I immediately recognized, and I recall very well, on my trousers there was one chunk of brain tissue as big as almost my thumb, thumbnail, and again I did not see the President at any time either after the first, second, or third shots, but I assumed always that it was he who was hit and no one else."
So Lurkers, this is what Ben has (apparently, since he is afraid to post it), hearsay evidence of something that makes little sense. And this is what this conspiracy retard has chosen to be the foundation of his fantastic ideas. And then they wonder why others find it is so clear that they are only playing silly games.

Lurkers, clearly Ben is deathly afraid to have an honest exchange of ideas on any issue he raises. He will do anything to avoid it, play semantics games, quote out of context, ask loaded and begged questions, muddy the water, shift the burden, just every dirty trick in the book to avoid having an honest discussion.

Lurkers, Ben put "witness" in quotes to indicate a pseudo witness. Now he wants to act like he meant a real person. There is no end to his deceit. He actually give me more examples of his dishonesty than I care to point out, it is taking more and more of my time to illustrate all the times he is being deceitful.

Lurkers, Ben has not shown where anything that Chaney has said is in conflict with the z-film. There has to be a conflict shown before it can be addressed.
> It's easy for me to do so... in addition to the statement that two DIFFERENT bullets struck JFK & Connally, Chaney also describes something not seen in any video that day... and could *not* have been missed.
Lurkers, Ben has not produced any support for any of the things he wants considered as fact.

Lurkers, did Ben offer anything about how much weight a jury would give photographic evidence *after* it is admitted into evidence? Everyone reading this knows the answer. A hell of a lot. If a cop says the person he shot had a gun and film shows the suspect didn`t have a gun, who or what will the jury use to decide what occurred? Which will be given more weight, the cop`s assertion or the film? You don`t cite for a lot of things, you either have the ability to reason or you do not.

Lurkers, all evidence has to pass muster before being admitted as evidence, this was never a point of contention. The real point is how much weight to give the evidence, and whether the information that fallible human beings provide should be given more weight than what is seen on film.
Ben is advancing the idea that what fallible human beings present is more reliable than cold unemotional film. But if that is the case, then there really was a dog in the limo. A fallible human being said there was, and I have never seen anything from any other human witness that contradicts this. Only the film and photos show Hill to be wrong, nothing quoted from any other witness that I am aware of can do so.

Lurkers, I`m confident you can see how the point I just made applies. What it comes down to is Ben is trying to advance the idea that what people say occurred trumps what can be seen of film to have occurred. I expect that anyone reading this will see that this is a retarded approach to evidence. Once you recognize that it is a film of the event, what the film shows should clearly outweigh any impressions people gathered during the event.

Lurkers, Ben`s assessment of the situation is wrong.

Lurkers when you view the information in context this is not surprising. Take ten thousand people who have never seen the z-film. Don`t tell them they are going to be watching the film of a murder, just show them the film. Ask them what they just saw, and not one will say a bullet passed between both men. That is not surprising under the circumstance for obvious reason. The clues are subtle and happen very quickly, they can only be caught by examining eighteenth of a second incriments. How many witnesses said they noticed the cracked windshield? That would be easier to discern than the wounds on these men for most people. You just have to look at information in the proper context and you are fine. Conspiracy retards resist this, and try to contrive approaches they think makes their positions look strong. When you apply critical examination to their ideas, they are all shit. That is why Ben wants to limit the discussion to cites only, with no application of thinking to the information allowed.

Lurkers, for this carry weight under these circumstance you would need several things if you wanted to treat this information as fact. You`d need both men wearing nothing above the waist. Then you would need a witness that was looking either right where a bullet went in or came out at the exact moment that the bullet went in or came out. There is nothing like that in evidence, but Ben wants to play make pretend games that he has something just that strong.

Lurkers, I did explain it above. Bullets go very, very fast. For all practical purposes this makes it impossible for human being to discern exactly when bullets enter a body. Which means the witnesses are likely doing off of other, less reliable clues, like when they first noticed the injuries, which does nothing to establish exactly when they occurred. Ben is trying to cut diamonds with a rubber hammer.
This is nothing more or less than the application of reason to information. Ben cannot do this and is angry that other people can. He wants to dictate rules that disallow the application of reason to information because he knows his ideas have no chance in such an evironment.

Lurkers, you saw that I put my information on the table for consideration. You saw that I linked to the very interview that Ben alluded to, Chaney`s TV interview. He wouldn`t even confirm that this was the interview he was talking about because he knew what was said in the interview hurt, rather than helped his ideas. Now all we`ve seen so far from Ben is the characterization of information through the filter of a retard. This should tell anyone all they need to know about the strength of the information he is alluding to but not producing.

Lurkers, the only thing from Chaney`s own mouth we have to examine is the TV interview I linked to. In it, Chaney doesn`t breathe a word about seeing Connally hit. If he saw them both get hit by bullets separate bullets, don`t you think he might have mentioned it? He mentioned Kennedy being shot, not Connally. He may very well have told other people that he saw blood on Connally`s chest, but this would do little to establish when the wound occurred, especially when it is placed chronologically (by Chaney or others he told) where it makes little sense. Again, this is just applying reason to what os known, something Ben cannot do to save his life. He demands that I stop because it makes the discussion unfair.

Lurkers, I`m sure you are aware that the idea of the single bullet theory accepted by lone nutters everywhere is Lee Harvey Oswald firing a bullet from the 6th floor of the TSBD that passed through both men. Ben wants to play semantics games because he has no interest in the truth.
What Chaney indicated could be nothing other than shots coming from behind him. His words and motions scream this. If I say something occurred back over my shoulder, right or left, I can`t be indicating anywhere else but behind me. And the FBI interview affirms this.
