In the mind of the LN Oswaldists, shots fired from the TSBD is synonymous with shots ONLY being fired from the TSBD. Why do these people believe critics flat-out deny shots were ever fired from there? No one denies it. Yet they like to pretend shots fired from the TSBD are to the exclusion of shots fired anywhere else.
Has anyone else encountered this laughable argument from someone trying to "prove" Oswald acted alone?
No spent shells were found behind the fence, therefore, no shooter was there - that's the argument I've heard frequently.
Probably because those guys were smart enough to police up their used cartridges and the guys in the TSBD deliberately planted used M-C shells that weren't actually fired that day.
That's what any halfway intelligent person might conclude, but it's obviously too much for them.
The other favorite Talking Point/argument is that no one *saw* a sniper behind the fence. It's at this point you need to remind them that you aren't supposed to see snipers. That's why they are called snipers. You also need to remind them that when the President of the United States is five feet away from you, and his head happens to be getting razed at the time, your attention is not trained on some shrubs off to the side.
