But speaking of grassy knolls, an Establishment that can kill a president probably doesn't have many ethical limits on what it will or will not do.

Still, the odds are firmly in favour of well-planned mass murder by random nutcase. There are all too many precedents in the US, after all.

And mass murder by random nutcases is terrorism, isn't it?

No, you are thinking of decent people and some not so decent who try to block ultra-right nazi enablers to have the airtime to spew their bile. Thems terrorists.

Like those brave IRA boys who tired to block the ultra-right Protestants you mean?

To me....if you feel terrorized....in other words, change your behaviour due to these inputs...then it's terrorism.

I looked into the Kennedy thing in my twenties....for me the biggest thing that pulled me away from the reasonable suspicion of conspiracy was finding out about how the nervous system reacts when shot....especially the brain.

Tests done on cows, and field accounts, evidenced that the body doesn't always follow normal physics when subjected to sudden and explosive external force......Going back and to the left is in no way guaranteed.

That, with the other strong evidence against Oswald...plus occam's razor finally put the last nail in the coffin for me.

So, mass murder by gunfire is a constitutional right, but trying to inhibit the actions of government or it's constituency is terrorism? How could I possibly have got that so wrong.....

If you put a suitable tin foil hat on, "Antifa" can easily be seen as part of the same population control strategy as the gun nuts, nazi enablers and ISIS. Have you seen the military-grade kit in use by the US to "police" its own people?

My only thought was he must have had help from somewhere, NOT that he was some sort of US government sleeper agent, or a lizard, or MI6, or even ISIS.

Interestingly, the FBI too thinks that he must have had help, but they say they have no evidence to date of any assistance. They also said that he rented an AirBNB the previous weekend that overlooked the previous weekend's music festival. Lastly, they said that they think he planned on surviving, based on stuff they'd found but would not disclose.

Also, he put around 200 rounds through the hotel room door, which is how the hotel security guard was injured. This guy doesn't strike me as a calculating, cold shooter, therefore. More of a spray and hope shooter.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

It's (yet) another myth perpetuated by Hollywood that bullets move people when they're shot. They don't, they bore holes into people. The victim would only be moved by the bullet if it impacted on the surface and thus transferred all of its energy to the body. The bullets go straight in, so the energy transfer that would translate to movement of the body doesn't occur. The body absorbs the energy (relatively) slowly as the bullet penetrates.

It looks great on film and is highly satisfying if it's the bad guy that gets blown backwards through a high-rise window. It's simply not how things happen in the real world.

Just to be clear mine wasn't a conspiracy as such, just an educated observation based on what I know about small arms fire.

Example if I was on the roof of Wembley stadium aiming into a crowd of 22 thousand at the front of a concert, with a silencer, an unlimited supply of rounds already bombed up in a magazine and 11 minutes of firing time the death toll would be much much higher, whether he was firing indiscriminately or not.

The second point was that, everything else was organised meticulously with nothing left to chance, a week before he transfers money to his wife, as someone as suggested maybe this was some walkabout money before the claims against his estate started, which would mean there was lots of planning and thought going into this event, weeks before it happened. Not the acts of a crazed spontaneous lunatic more like someone who had been planning this for ages.

My only thought was he must have had help from somewhere, NOT that he was some sort of US government sleeper agent, or a lizard, or MI6, or even ISIS.

The death toll was what it was. He was clearly shooting on and off for a good while and hundreds of people were injured as well as 59+ dead. I think it's much more likely that that's how it actually panned out, then imagining there is some hidden aspect to it.

Also, it's not that hard to wire someone money or to gradually accumulate weaponry and take guns into a hotel room. Nothing that happened was particularly 'out there' especially with current US laws. If anything that is what's disturbing about what happened.. that it wasn't all that difficult to carry out.

In any case I think the emphasis should be on the victims really and their stories and bravery.

That and just common sense ways to behave when something of this nature occurs, to save lives in future. People can behave in very irrational, counter intuitive ways in extreme circumstances. I saw a clip of one group of people just standing around as the bullets rained down a good 8 minutes into this thing. Bizarre.

I should imagine that the momentum that hits the body is equal to the recoil that the shooter also feels.

But yeah....I don't know much about it.
