Argumentative Essay On Single Assassin Theory

Improved Essays
The problem is that a ton of single-assassin theorists rely on the HSCA’s version of the SBT. As we’ve clearly seen, their version is totally at odds with the evidence and more towards a bias in desperate haste to confirm a predetermined conclusion and the government’s thesis -- a lone assassin. If its not the HSCA they rely on, they rely on subsequent “experts” of the case. Also...
Pat Speer factually points out: “While many TV shows present the single-bullet theories of Dr. Lattimer, Gerald Posner, and Dale Myers as if they are the official government theory, the theories of these men are actually at odds with both the Warren Commission and HSCA interpretations of the wounds, trajectories, and shot sequences.”
So yeah...basically Oswald did-its have it three ways. 1) The WC’s version 2) the HSCA’s version 3) the Lattimer/Posner/Myers version. The last one has become the current trending theory, but again, these people

In this simulation, performed under the guidance of wound ballistics expert Vincent J M. DiMaio (not surprisingly, a close colleague of the Clark Panel’s Dr. Fisher), the dummy’s body needed to be bent forwards in order to get the laser beam connecting the locations of Kennedy’s wounds to reach the sniper’s nest. Which version of the SBT were they using? The HSCA’s version. But here is where it gets bizarre. When talking how they had “finally got it” in “proving” the SBT, this was said on the back wound: “There’s a little given take as to where the entrance is. Because the wound wasn’t located exactly as to right or left of the midline at the time of autopsy, its just a rough

    The rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and the rifle that Oswald owned bore the same serial number: C2766. However, there were many manufacturers that manufactured the weapon, so the serial numbers were repeated on more than one occasion. That being said, it is impossible to prove that Oswald’s weapon and the sixth floor weapon were the same. Oswald, according to the Warren Commission, carried the weapon into work that day concealed in a paper bag wrapping. Two people who saw Oswald that morning were the man who drove him to work and his sister, and both witnesses state the paper bag found on the sixth floor was longer than the bag they saw Oswald carrying.…

    The bullet path clearly shows that it was a long range shot to the side, because if it was a short range shot, the inside of the wound would have expanded more, due to the close proximity. With a long range shot, the swelling inside of the bullet hole is lesser, but still powerful enough to kill him. The shot has been proven to be shot from 600 feet away, which eliminates anyone shooting within anything closer than that proximity, (Roy Brown and another rumoured shooter, Robert Buie). There was no doubt about the distance the shot was fired at, because of multiple tests that prove. that if the shot was fired any closer or farther away, there would have been a completely different result in the bullets overall impact.…

    In the historical narrative about drone warfare by Andrew Cockburn, entitled Kill Chain: The Rise of the High-Tech Assassins, it seems that technology can do no good. Not only does the military grade machinery never seem to live up to its ideal, but it appears that system failure is an all too common occurrence. Though technological advances may give the impression of moving forward in life and creating a better tomorrow, it also creates a sort of communication barrier between human beings. Unfortunately, this lack of communication also seems to serve as a means of demoralization, and to a greater extent even dehumanization. Time and time again, parallels can be drawn between the different situations presented throughout the novel.…

    What is the legal standard to determine if a defendant is competent to stand trial? Competency to stand trial (CST) came about to light in the U.S. Supreme Court case Dusky v. United State which established that in order for a defendant to be tried that they have must have sufficient present ability to consult with their lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding and factual understanding of the proceedings against him (Dusky v. United States, 1960). Kruh and Grisso (2009) provide analysis of some of the terms that were used in the Dusky test: • Sufficient ability and reasonable understanding specify that CST does not require complete and fully unimpaired functioning, whereas reasonable implies to relativity to the context…

    The dead tell better stories then the living. For instance, if anyone had survived from inside the WTC, perhaps everyone would know that it wasn’t a controlled demolition. Perhaps then, in september of every year, the victims families wouldn’t have to endure the constant disrespect of their loved ones deaths by tin foil wearing conspiracy theorists. The shooting of john Lennon and Ronald Regan were not part of any mass shootings. And yes, I’m sure Jodie Foster wished Hinkleys motives never came out.…

    In his article; “The greatest lie ever told”, Matt Evert explains the conspiracy on how the World Trade Center fell. Explaining how the events of 9/11 could have been an “inside job”, because of the many scenarios that would lead to the collapse of a skyscraper were not present during the attacks. He explains his argument by describing 14 characteristics of the event that could have or couldn’t have led to the collapse of the World trade center. He does this by using claims and official reports released by the government, and where their story is lacking based on eyewitness accounts, lack of physical evidence, and expert opinions and analysis. I feel that Evert’s arguments are valid because he uses lots of credible sources from people like witnesses and engineers and that there is actually no physical proof that al-Qaida was even responsible for the attacks.…

    The Kennedy Assassination There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, (JFK). One of the most prominent, is that lone gunman and communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own accord, took matters into his own hand and singlehandedly planned and executed the President of the United States of America. Another theory was that Oswald was a pawn in a deadly game of politics and mafia wars and was directed by the powers that be to kill JFK, and in an effort to prevent him from ever exposing the plot, he too was murdered in cold blood. Curiously, the theory that weighs in most heavily is that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the murder of JFK. Popular conspiracy theories claimed the “government” was behind it and the murder was in retaliation for a political upset, specifically, the Bay of Pigs conflict in Cuba (Polidoro, 2005).…

    Introduction Many believe that people capable of committing serial murder or spree killing are born “evil,” and in some cases this can be perceived as at least somewhat truthful. This however cannot be the case for Lee Boyd Malvo, one of the two people responsible for the D.C. Sniper Attacks. The D.C. sniper case, also known as the Beltway sniper attacks, were a stretch of organized shootings that occurred over a three week period in the states of Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Colombia. Ten deaths and three injuries were the products of these shootings, but on October 24, 2002, Lee Boyd Malvo and his “mentor,” John Allen Muhammad, were found and arrested ending their terror spree (“Beltway Snipers,” n.d.). When crimes like these occur, many people wonder what it was that caused this person to behave the way they did.…
