Living History with Pierce Allman 

Three shots folks from the TSDB. Thank you Pierce for your accurate reporting...

So he runs from the vicinity of Elm and Houston after shots were fired to the grassy knoll area, sees the Neumans on the grass then runs to the Book Depository and sees Oswald at the doorway. In the meantime Oswald is supposed to have scurried down four flights of stairs to a lunchroom, retrieved a coke from a machine and opened it, briefly encountered officer Baker, descended anothier two flights then crossed the main floor to the front door. I don't buy it. He told the FBI in Janary of '64 he went from where he was on Houston & Elm "immediately and directly into the Book Depository" when he saw the man at the doorway steps...At that time the FBI told him it was Oswald.

Why? Maybe he's a Stoic? Lol.

Too bad pres. Kennedy had to die that day in Dallas.

as cool as if he was among the key people at faa who had foreknowledge

I saw the newsroom footage. Allman was shook to the core..I can't imagine seeing that right before you😮

Yes, excellent voice. Too bad he got bumped during his one on-camera appearance on November 22!

Perfect voice. RIP Pierce Allman.

His story is almost identical to that of Robert MacNeil, who later became anchor of the PBS News Hour. I suspect that Mr Allman is sincere but that his his own memories are blended with other accounts of the assassination. You can hardly blame him given the overwhelming nature of the event. I believe MacNeil was the one who bumped into Oswald since the timing of his call can be verified. With Mr. Allman, I get the sense that something's a bit.... off.

He then is able to describe in much detail how JFK reacts to being hit by different shots, how Jackie reacts and how the security men act.: He really only described how Kennedy reacted to getting hit the first time - by the 2nd bullet - and Allman said he didn't see Kennedy get hit by the 3rd bullet, but then he did see Jackie get out of her seat and Clint Hill jump on the car, as so many others did.

Or maybe it was James W. Powell. He was an Army Intelligence agent with the 112th who also rushed into the building looking for a phone. Oswald thought it was an FBI man, but if Powell flashed his credentials to Oswald....who knows

NBC fake news.

I will have to check out the story about Robert McNeil. If true, I suppose it is possible for Oswald to have directed more than one person to the phone.

@@geschoonover ...and then later he was with fake news PBS.

You can be sure MacNeil is bullshitting. Listen to the contents of the live call he made McGee on air in those moments.

I agree. I don't recall Mr. Allman commenting if in hindsight it was in fact Oswald he spoke to at the door when he was inquiring about a phone.

@@waltonwarrior7428 He doesn't know if it was Oswald.

Yes, the men in the window on the 5th floor were interviewed & stated they heard the bolt action click 3 times.

Yes, there is a video of all three, each.

Where?@@louf7178

I had no idea Ted Cassidy was working in Dallas and was associated in any way with the assassination.

Grow up

You heard right. There's no way you can convince me Oswald wasn't involved in some way, but you also can't convince me he was the only one.

I thought the same thing ... however, I believe he meant his front (while standing across from the TSBD building). He could have said "the shots came from my front."

That' what I heard also. Hmmm. I think I'll go back and listen again.

In an other interview he said: One man, one gun, 3 shots, talking about the TSBD. My opinion too! I would say: One man, his plan, one gun, 3 shots!

Allman appears briefly on air with Jay Watson explaining he was locked inside the TSBD.

Bob McNeil

The 'I spoke with Oswald at the entrance of the Depository' was Bob MacNeil's experience. This Allman guy repeated it, almost verbatim. I think he putting us on...

Yes, and the follow-up car and nearest left motorcycle much more.

Great observation.

It’s because Oswald DIDNT DO IT!

If Oswald was so lily white, why shoot J.D. Tippett?

@@jude999 Oswald certainly wasn't "lily white." He had a less than honorable discharge from the military if I remember correctly and had defected to our nation's primary enemy. He'd been an activist for communist systems of government. I think he was a bit of a kook no matter what happened. I also think that while the Warren Commission may have gotten details wrong, the central thesis of their report that Oswald acted alone and shot the president is about as likely as any theory. On the other hand, "about as likely" is not the same as "met the burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt." I don't absolutely know what happened, and I'm unsure enough to be willing to consider all kinds of ideas. Let's say that Oswald was a kook who was innocent of the assassination. In that case, he was minding his own business going into the lunch room to buy a soda. A police officer runs into the room, puts a revolver against his stomach, and demands to know who he is. He escapes being arrested or possibly being shot because Roy Truly identifies Oswald as an employee. They leave, but as Oswald hears talk and realizes what has happened, he becomes paranoid and decides that he'll be accused again and again. He's an okay enough worker, but he's not dedicated to being a book depository employee. He decides to leave the building before another police officer points another gun at him. He gets back to his rooming house while still in a paranoid panic and grabs his revolver. He's walked a few blocks down the street when another police officer stops him. He talks to the guy through the window briefly, but now the guy is getting out of the cruiser to question him further. He decides that they are just going to keep accusing him, so he pulls out his revolver and just starts shooting. Again, I can accept Oswald's being guilty of the assassination as easily as I can accept any other theory. In that theory, he shoots Officer Tippett because he's killed one man already that day and feels that he might as well kill another. That I can accept that theory doesn't mean that I can't look for strengths and weaknesses in other theories. To me, his killing Officer Tippett is not strong evidence for or against his killing the president.

Those guns then and today use smokeless powder. There would have been no smoke or smoke smell from firing the rifle.

Being calm observation should put some doubt that oswald was the assassin.

I believe it was known that a back brace was always worn after his injury.

born 1932

I know really? No credible evidence? How can these people be so unaware of all the credible evidence that has been brought out in the past couple of decades. I believe the 6th floor museum presses these witnesses to stick with the Warren Commission. One exception being Cyril Wecht.
