Things Believers believe...
This was a list compiled by someone on the Amazon Forums, and I could add an equal number to this list... believers really do believe many things not supported by the evidence.
- Oswald shot at Gen. Walker even though Walker was shot at using a 30.06 steel-jacketed bullet
- Oswald shot Officer Tippit even though Tippit was dead by 1:07 and Oswald was nearly a mile away at 1:04
- Oswald shot JFK even though Jesse Curry was not willing to say there was any proof of that (but DVP knows better than Curry, of course)
- That one bullet caused 7 wounds in two men, hit ribs and bone and came out looking virtually unscathed
- That JFK's anterior neck wound was an exit wound even though all medical personnel who saw it dispute that and even though it was 3-5 mm whereas WC tests showed M-C exit wounds are in the 10 mm range
- That Oswald picked up a pistol mailed to him even though the proper forms were not kept
- That Oswald picked up a rifle mailed to him even though the proper forms were not kept
- That the backyard photos are real even though the nose shadow remains the same and the heads from the different poses can be superimposed to show they are exactly the same photo - he believes this because a photo panel said they were not forgeries and we all know that panels of experts can never be wrong
- That Marina can be used to justify some bit of data even though the WC and HSCA knew her to be a serial liar whose stories changed day to day
- No one impersonated Oswald in Mexico City even though everyone else seems to be aware of this impersonation
- That no one could forge Oswald's handwriting even though experts validated the "Mr. Hunt" note which later was acknowledged a forgery
- That Ruth Paine was merely a kind Quaker lady even though her CIA connections seem to have been well known to many people at that time
- That Clay Shaw did not commit perjury when he denied in court that he was a CIA asset even though the CIA later admitted he did work for them
- That there was no interference from the CIA and FBI in the Garrison investigation and trial even though everyone else knows there was
- That the bullets "discovered" in Oswald's pocket two hours after his arrest were there all along and were not planted by the DPD even though they show bullet slide corrosion and Oswald owned no bullet slide
- That the DPD would file two detailed reports of the Mauser found in the TSBD if it had not been found but was a Mannlicher-Carcano instead
- That a person would own a rifle and a pistol and have no gun cleaning equipment
- That the main goal of the plotters was to frame a lone assassin even though that is merely an assumption made after the fact and used over and over as one of the lamest arguments imaginable
- That Capt. Fritz had a good reason for running ahead when Oswald was being taken through the basement instead of remaining as a protective shield, which was the point of his being in front
- That the autopsy photos are genuine even though the autopsy photographer said they aren't
- That the X-rays are genuine even though we have proof of forgery
- That the autopsy report is genuine even though Humes destroyed not only his notes but the first report
