Looks like we got ourselves another genius.  This one is an expert on
auditory illusions. Wow.
Duh, let's see.  We got a bunch of people saying they heard a double shot
who obviously are being deluded by echos in Dealey Plaza.  Which is pointed
out by the profesionals of the WC.
A lot of the witnesses couldn't agree on how many shots were fired but I
would say that a majority of them described hearing a first shot which
sounded like a firecracker, and then pause then two loud rifle reports
spaced close together.
Now if the WC was correct and the shots only came from the sixth floor
window and the double shot was an echo then why didn't the first shot
also get reported as a double shot?
If the echos were so illusionary as they bounced off the tall buildings ringing
the east sections of DP, then why didn't anybody at the time and later in
testimony point to any of those buildings as a source of the shots?

Why did all the railroad men standing on the triple overpass, who would
be the ones to be in the most likely position to be fooled into thinking
that the shots came from the County building or another building, with a
single voice point to the Grassy Knoll fence as the source of the shots?
They were adamant about hearing the shots and seeing a wisp of smoke.
The fence area being the most unlikely place for them to be fooled by.
No building there to fool anyone, just trees and bushes.

Why were the Newmans insistant that some of the shots came from right
behind them, past their heads, from the fence area?  They were standing
directly between JFK and the fence area.  If they were being fooled by
echos, wouldn't they point towards the buildings on the other side of
the limo or to their left towards the County Jail building?

Eye and ear witness accounts are traditionally weak enough that nothing
can be proven from them but weak, deficient thinking gets you nowhere
even faster.
The recent thinning of activity in this newsgroup certainly needs posters
like our echo expert.  For laughs.

And I really love the fawning to authority figures in the form of the
august Warren Commission.  I wonder what was going through our echo
experts mind when former WC, vice president Ford was stumping around
the country telling us that Nixon was totally innocent of all those lies
that the press was making up about him.  And then what would be in his mind
when they yanked Ford off the stumping circuit to be our great leader when
Nixon resigned in the face of the smoking gun tape?
Gee, one authoritative body tells us that there was one lone nut and the
back wound was a neck wound.  Several other authoritative bodies tells us
that the neck wound really was a back wound and there is evidence to
suspect that the lone nut wasn't alone.  Too confusing for slaves to
authority figures.
