    JD,
    I heard the FBI Director talking about the explosives in his car but said nothing about where it was parked. In one of the film clips from the people on the ground they were yelling that Crooks (now on the roof) had a gun and to take cover. FBI released that the AR15 had a collapsible stock and that it could have been easily hidden but no mention of where, unless it's the backpack they found that they are testing...... currently 'Thought' to be Crooks bag.

    I really doubt we'll get all the answers we all seek. Feds have a way of not disclosing 'Failures' in the name of National Security.
    I watched George Wallace catch lead and never got many answers. Look at Kennedy........ they're still not sure of how many shooters. Was Lee Harvey Oswald that good from over 265 feet and 6 stories up using a bolt action Carcano and 4x scope. Getting off 3 shots inside IIRC ~7 seconds ? And Jack Ruby sure had a convenient spot 2 days later.

    Edit to add picture of Crooks bicycle with backpack at rally scene

    I ask people who say that Lee Harvey Oswald got three shots off in 7 seconds this one simple question: "So he didn't aim for his first shot?" Yes, there was 7 seconds between the first and third shots but how long did he aim for the first shot? 3 or 4 seconds? Suddenly, saying he got three shots off in 11 seconds isn't so fantastic since he was a former Marine after all. I was a friend of Jim Mars (RIP), the noted Kennedy assassination lecturer, author, blogger, and part-time television star who was a huge proponent of the "2nd shooter" theory. He and I would butt heads all the time since I believed Oswald was the only shooter. Now, whether or not outside forces put Oswald up to it is another question.

    I stand corrected and should have known better. As a High School athlete I was a 9 time track and field state champion to which if I start bragging my kids compare me to Al Bundy glorifying his 4 touchdowns in 1 game at Polk High School and call my past 'Lame'

    So like a Starters shot, Oswald's first shot STARTS the clock.
