Questions for danny Boy o'meara:
What in the heck is "after it was over" supposed to mean? After what was over?
What we do is follow some basic rules of the English language, thomas.
We are trying to discern what the word "it" refers to.
In order to do this we need to discern the 'context' that the word is derived from.
To do this we look at the preceding sentences - "After he had passed by and was about 50 yards past us, I heard three shots. There was a slight pause after the first shot then the next two were right close together. I could not tell where the shots came from but sounded like they were across the street from us. However, that could have been caused by the echo."
Lovelady is talking about the shots he heard.
The "it"refers to the shots that were fired.
He is basically saying - After the shots
we went back into the building.
There is no sequence of events between the shots and re-entering the building.
He doesn't leave the steps, doesn't go across to the island, doesn't walk along the extension, doesn't hang around in the railroad yard and
then re-enter the building.
There is an immediacy implied in his affidavit - he was on the steps, there were shots, he went back into the building.
This is his first and most honest account of events.
Did Lovelady say that he / they actually ran down to where the limo stopped and stayed in that area for five minutes?
Really?
-- Tom
Yes, thomas, he really did say that he ran to the spot where the limo stopped and that he and Shelley stayed in that area for around 5 minutes.
This is from his CE1381, taken March 19th '64
"I recall that following the shooting, I ran towards the spot where President Kennedy's car had stopped. William Shelley and myself stayed in that area for approximately five minutes when we then re-entered the Depository building by the side door located on the west side of the building."
Just to clarify...when Lovelady refers to "that area" he is referring to the area where the limo stopped.
That's how the English language works.
He is not referring to the railroad yard or the island.
At this stage of the lie he is stating that he went to where the limo had stopped on Elm Street, and that he and Shelley stayed in this area for a while.
Obviously, you will just ignore this.
It won't make you think, "oh...Lovelady really did give a series of completely contradictory accounts regarding his movements after the shooting".
You were just trying to catch me out and now that has failed you will just move on from this point as if nothing were said.
That's how you operate.
You're just a troll playing a game.
It's a pity you can't see the true relevance of your own work regarding the identification of Gloria on the steps.
Just a recap on the evolution of Lovelady's lies.
1] Didn't move from the steps, went back inside building.
2] Ran down to where limo stopped on Elm Street, stayed there for 5 minutes, re-eneterd building through west door.
3] Ran across to island, moved along extension, stayed in railroad yard, re-entered building through west door.
4] Stayed outside for 20 minutes before re-entering building.
This is how I reconcile these four contradictory accounts - #1 is true, the rest are lies told to cover up his movements after the assassination.
How do you reconcile these contradictory accounts?
