Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

[Dan O'meara]

This from the guy who's still stuck way, way back at the 'No, I can't explain that shadow down Lovelady, but I know it means nothing' stage of denial.

Really?
I believe my explanation was that Lovelady was just turned to the side, looking out over his shoulder.

Now! Back to the question:

Is this police officer wearing gloves?

Maybe it's one of those big foam hands you get at sports events with "Go Oswald" written on it.
Why is Fritz wearing a black oven mitt? It's the key to understanding the whole mystery. I bet you can't answer that question. And if you can't answer that question, you'll never understand what's happening.
I understand it's been tough on you Alan, all those years spent peddling the nonsense that Sarah Stanton was in fact Oswald stood in the corner of the front landing, only to have the rug pulled out from underneath you.
In a way it's admirable as I'm sure there were a lot of disciples of the Church of Prayerman who couldn't face how stupid they'd been and who now live in complete denial.
At least you've toned it down a bit and are finally using common sense.....wait on a second...........what's that??
Oswald down by the front steps waving a Cuban flag tied to a curtain rod??
 
Mrs Reid stood outside holding the rifle bag??
 
You really are priceless. I bet the Prayerman lot are glad you left

Oh, my apologies, Mr. O'Meara, I thought you were joking. I thought you couldn't possibly be suggesting that Mr. Lovelady's shoulder was showing all that white tshirt, with the shirt collar clearly there to its left



If you were (and are) serious, then please accept my belated thanks for the most amusing 'solution' since Mr. Mytton's claim that Mr. Lovelady is way back on the landing bending down to tie his shoelaces!

I'm not interested in your opinion, Mr. O'Meara (why would the opinion of a rabid member of Team Keep LHO Off Them Steps be of value?). What I am interested in is whether you have any substance to back it up.

We can start anywhere. Let's try this one:

What do you think this is? Pigeon droppings? A giant handkerchief accidentally dropped by Mr. Jack Dougherty just after firing from the sixth-floor window? What you got for us?



 

[Alan Ford]

Is this officer wearing gloves?



 

Friends, I've found the footage in The Lost Assassination Tapes. The frame above contains motion blur, giving an odd appearance to the object the officer is holding. Here's a clearer frame:



Just a rifle, and no glove!

 

[Alan Ford]

Apropos!

 

[Alan Ford]

Hmmm............

[Alan Ford]

Given the way the flag is flapping, it appears to be attached to something on its right (i.e. west) side.

And given that we have just seen---------a mere couple of seconds earlier in Hughes-----------the black man down by the white west column raise an empty left hand to wave at P. Parade:



:  it appears the only person who can possibly be waving this flag is the white man in the reddish shirt standing directly behind that black man

I was wrong to dismiss, as film noise, the flickering over the head of this woman:



It is indeed a handkerchief or scarf. However, it is nowhere near in the right position to account for the sizeable flapping object in Towner which we have been talking about.

From young Ms. Towner's position, well to the east of Mr. Bell, the woman waving the handkerchief/scarf is all but blocked by the old woman in blue. She is waving her right arm left and right, and we get a glimpse of this in Towner. And Towner also catches, over the head of the old woman in blue, a tiny bit of the flickering of the handkerchief/scarf:



The sizeable flapping object in Towner is NOT from anything out in the street. It is in the doorway, in the most interesting spot imaginable:
