(8,377 posts)Are there no audio files recorded during the event? It should not take extensive laboratory analysis to determine how rapidly shots were heard. that day.
In any case, none of the people in the CBS tests achieves the hits attributed to Oswald even assuming 2 seconds between shots and they had lots of advantages Oswald did not have.
This is a central claim of the Warren Commission. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Yeah, I know every gun owner thinks they can hit a pimple on a flea's butt at 200 yards with their eyes closed. But pardon me if I ask for some proof of that.
Why is it too much to ask for a demonstration that shows that marksmen of Oswald's skill level can, on their first try without any practice, achieve two of three hits on a moving target with the visual obstructions that were in place in Dealy Plaza with no warning when the target will appear?
The testing that has taken place, to my knowledge, shows at best that this MAY be THEORETICALLY possible in the very best of circumstances, but is extremely unlikely if not downright impossible. You combine that with the lack of motive and all the other legitimate questions, and it becomes clear that the Warren Theory is among the least plausible of scenarios. But it was the outcome Alan Dulles, LBJ, and J Edgar Hoover wanted to see.
