After reviewing James Copenhaver’s latest interview, I’ve changed my mind and decided his arm wound probably did come from a bullet from the AGR 6 building, or in a close line with that trajectory. I had thought his scar was pretty much on the outside of his arm, but it seems it’s more toward the back of his arm. The lady on his left is one of Mr. Comperatore’s sisters or his mom.
If I remember right flamecensor believes that the first audible shot hit Mr. Trump’s ear and then Mr. Copenhaver’s arm, and I am inclined to agree now. We disagree on where that shot comes from.
Mr. Comperatore’s video shows Mr. Trump pretty much looking straight toward him when he was shot, so the bullet has to come from Mr. Comperatore’s position, give or take about 10 degrees, since Mr. Trump’s ear was hit, but no other skin on his head.
Using this overhead shot from TV station WHYY we get this:
Yes, with an overhead photo we have to be aware there is a third dimension (when objects are higher or lower vs objects shown) , but the effect when drawing lines that are pretty much straight up and down the photo is minimal.
People have objected to the “fence problem” of the 3rd window, but I’ve decided that the very top of the window would have a vantage above the fence. I cite a still from one rallygoer video:
The fence post of the outer fence is at or a little below the subjective level of the middle window, and the person videoing the scene is a foot below the 6 foot high inner fence. Raise his vantage point 12 inches, and that middle window would appear 4 inches higher versus the outer fence (assuming a 1:3 ratio). Consider that the stage and Trumps ear were 10 feet high versus the 6 foot height of the fence in front of the videographer. That’s a 48 inch difference. with a 1:5 ratio in distance, that gives the top of the window another 10 inches above the top of the near fence when looking at Trump’s ear on the stage.
