Why not route motorcade straight through Main street and get to the Trade Mart?
1. Spectators would have lined the grass on both sides of Main st.
2. Structures & spectators would block shooter’s line-of-sight
3. Motorcade safer moving faster 25-45 mph, hard to hit
4. Rifles almost out of range, less accuracy
5. Commerce St. traffic clutters target acquisition
Secret Service admits 2 alternate routes to Trade Mart: by Stemmons or Industrial Boulevard from Main Street
No shooting positions available here!
Punctuality: Motorcade would have arrived at Trade Mart sooner!
