Gunman in the pergola window...

Well actually, Umbrella Man has never been a high priority to me because having a guy with an Umbrella making an obvious political statement makes far more sense than using the umbrella as a signal or heaven help us a concealed blow dart, but whatever.
Anyway, Witt's facial structure and body type 15 years later is still an extremely close match for Umbrella Man and the fact that he remembers most of what happened without a pedantic level of detail, in my opinion paints a picture of a normal bloke trying his best to remember a tiny slice of time from a decade and a half ago. Consider if Witt was some JFK fanatic who knew every detail with pinpoint accuracy then that all by itself would be powerful evidence of an impostor.
It reminds me of the eyewitnesses at the assassination, they all viewed an unexpected event once whereas the modern researcher has a ton of points of view from films and photos which they have studied over and over with microscopic detail but when some eyewitness makes some sort of a relatively insignificant error they are dragged over the coals for it? Go figure?

Getting back to the point of this post, when I grabbed the cropped image, I quickly checked the Bronson 8mm film and forgot that Bronson was also taking photographs and snapped the following photo a half second before the Limo reached Witt(my bad), before Bronson a literal second later swapped back to his movie camera.

               John - Thanks for going the extra mile with your Bronson JFK Assassination research work. I knew you would. It's a hallmark to be proud of.
   With respect to the Witt HSCA Testimony, the part of his testimony that always jumps out at me is where he describes, "Screeching tires" and "Jamming Brakes". I have Never read or heard a single JFK Assassination eyewitness describe these tire/brake sounds during/after shots being fired. Though Witt's description does match the ASAIC Kellerman's WC testimony of the JFK Limo suddenly accelerating to the point of, "jumping out of the god damn street". We do not see any automobile activity that would produce "Screeching tires", or "Jamming brakes" on any of the JFK Assassination Films. This includes the Current Zapruder Film and the Nix Film (copy).

So what that we don't "see" these things? Are you incapable of considering the possibility that Witt was embellishing? Or that he simply misremembered? My guess is that you are incapable of considering that, since instead you leap to every ridiculous conspiratorial "explanation."

    So you believe Witt, but you don't believe Witt? And then you excuse Witt by claiming he was, "embellishing". Yet, Witt's HSCA "screeching tires" testimony does corroborate ASAIC Kellerman's WC testimony of the JFK Limo, "...leaping out of the G.D street". Knowing and Linking sworn testimony is important. Obviously, you are currently incapable of doing this. You need to buckle down, do the research, and familiarize yourself with the sworn testimony of JFK Assassination key players. This will help you avoid embarrassing yourself.

Your words, not mine. Yep, I believe that Witt was the Umbrella Man. I don't care if he embellished tires screeching, and nobody else but you does either. The sum and substance of his story matches the actions of the individual in Dealey Plaza perfectly.

  This is exactly why this murder remains unsolved after 62+ years. YOU believe what you selectively want to believe and then just dismiss everything else. Like buying into a bullet striking the traffic signal without a shred of evidence to support that having happened. You rubber stamp whatever  suits your fancy.

Hi Royell, he believes Witt. Besides Witts dumbass testimony, the same umbrella he claimed to have for 15 years didn't match the photos in Dealey Plaza. pffft

the same umbrella he claimed to have for 15 years didn't match the photos in Dealey Plaza

That's real interesting, in what way did the umbrella that Witt brought to the House Select Committee hearings differ to the Umbrella took by Witt to Dealey Plaza?





At Dealey Plaza





An Umbrella to protest Kennedy was seen long before Witt!



And what do you think that Witt attempted to achieve by deceiving the World 15 years later?
Or do you think like many others that the umbrella seen in Dealey Plaza was a "secret weapon"? "pffft" indeed!
