Thank You Bill for your reply.........
Here's what I think in more detail is possible with the "Black Dog Man" issue and others in the Betzner photo.
(1) He is actually 2 men ...one man standing and schielding the other "Sitting or Couching man" from behind.
The man shooting would be the sitting man.....hidden well from the front by the low retaining wall and from the back.
He probably arrived at his position seconds before President Kennedy turned onto Elm St.
From that distance a trained and excellent shooter could also "shoot from the hip" but it would be an easy shot and zip put pistol back into the coat or hand-off the gun and leave before the assasination is even over.
A very close witness to Kennedys' reaction ,named Chism , observed after the first shot that the President "sat back in his seat" from a more relaxed casual posture and blocked his face with his hands........this is a shot from the front to the necktie knot area .
This was a set-up shot,and it was from the right front with a silencer with a shooter who waited for the sound of the first shot to fire his weapon.The shot could also have came from behind the picket fence , near the corner of the fence... In my opinion these are the only 2 locations that make sence for the first shot to the neck.
(2) the "Black Dog Man " could simply be a Photographic edit...........Black out this area on the negative...you know?
There may have been a more incriminating image there.There are other unusual images in the vicinity of the retaining wall.
I know there was a park bench back there........i think some poeple stepped forward and claimed to be eating their lunches there
but there is a vacuum of documentation on them.
I believe there are problems in finding exactly how the Betzner negatives were handled.
As far as the claim I made of seeing an image of E.Howard Hunt above the second "M" on the Stemmons freeway sign.....
the image I see is in a place where if someone was there....they would have an excellent view of the whole operation...
the shooters, the Presidential limosine,everything!!! People that see this image in the photo might say..."Well ..He's too high up in the air to be a man.."..........to them I'd say...."Not a man standing on a car"...as we know it was a parking lot jammed with cars. If it is E.Howard Hunt ,he probably was in that position less than 30 seconds. Since many believe him to be the handler of this operation on the knoll it makes sence for him to be observing everything,........especially if Kennedy is murdered or not.
I feel the Betzner and the Willis photos alone tell us alot about this whole operation.
I think these photos are timeline linked to Z186 and Z202........somebody may know for sure.
There seems to be alot of decoys and mystery people in Dealey Plaza that day.
Black Dog Man was quite the assassin to be able to get a shot off while so out in the open and to be able to avoid detection by every single witness in Dealey Plaza who should have easily seen such a shooter at the retaining wall if there were indeed a shooter in that location.
Martin, also, you're quite the astute researcher with an amazing eye to be able to see all of those things in the photo(s) that you listed above.
