Title: Was the Stemmons Freeway sign removed?
Post by: Jake Maxwell on August 16, 2018, 04:22:54 PM
I've read that the Stemmons Freeway sign was removed after the assassination... The suggestion is that it might have been damaged by a bullet or two... What do we know about this...?
Has this been verified?

Has anyone read anything about this? I read that it was removed the very day (and I've read within days) of the assassination...  ???

     If that is SA Clint Hill in the Hankins photo, I'll eat a bug. Whoever that is atop the Limo has at least 25 lbs on Hill. Look at the size of the head/face.

Comparatively these Clint's in the head/face area are about the same size.

The size of the head may seem the same, but the size of the car is different. Apples and oranges.

He stated they flew off as the limo was pressing 75 mph somewhere on the Stemmons Freeway. Probably swept up by street cleaners and a valuable momento of the day is well covered in a landfill somewhere.

John, looks like he was well prepared for work that day, wearing a bullet-proof vest.  I know they are uncomfortable, but why didn't JFK get one?  Why didn't Clint jump to help until near simultaneously with the head shot?  The privacy window in the limo had been removed for better protection.  Why didn't Kellerman go through that opening, when he knew much earlier something was happening?  Why is he and Greer twice looking back as the car slows/stops?  Was the car slowed because Elm bends to the right and would make it much more difficult to hit JFK?  Why did every single SS testify the car was moving at "12-15 miles per hour"? Were they all watching the speedometer instead of the President?  Why did Roberts recall Ready when he was in the process of protecting the President?  Why was Roberts speaking on the radio at Z255 to a man on the DalTex firescape?  Roberts was asked about his transmissions, but failed to mention this one.  Why was Douglas Dillon, son of Clarence Dillon, who along with Samuel Bush, were widely considered to be "The Merchants of Death", selected to be Treasury Secretary, and thus boss of the SS?  I'm sure there is more.

         Drop your own head Downward and see what you get below the chin. Both the individuals atop the Limo have their Heads a LEVEL position. The Double Chin and Receding Hairline of the one guy make this a Slam Dunk. He ain't SA Clint Hill. Clint Hill is doing just as SA Youngblood did with LBJ. Hill is laying atop/protecting Jackie as he was assigned to do. As Jackie said when she did her "Camelot" interview 1 week following the assassination, "Then Clint Hill, he loved us, he was the first man in the car.......... WE ALL LAY DOWN in the car. I believe what she is describing occurred at the same time the Officer Chaney/Lead Car Event happened. The Lead Car and the JFK Limo came to a STOP during this time period.

Whew.  Just when I thought I had heard it all from CTers.  What do you think happened here?  Someone descended from the heavens and landed upon the moving limo.  That is tin foil hat nonsense.

No Royell, shouting out at the top of your lungs that the Clint Hill heads are "LEVEL" won't make it so, we see Clint shift between looking straight ahead and then down more towards the horror in the back seat, what compounds Hill's double chin is the fact that he's also leaning back. The sunlight flaring off the top of Clint's head simply gives the appearance of a larger area, look at the same specular highlight as seen on the edge of the front windscreen and we see the same effect. And finally look at the billowing jacket over Hill's left shoulder and the way that the random folds and resulting shadows line up.

  Jake, there is no known evidence that the 2 individuals are talking to each other.  This is only a logical deduction or hypothesis that I formed after finding this very large Altgens following a search based upon size in March 2016.  As it now looks like this version has been deleted from Google, I've posted it below.  Download it, zoom in and out, and decide if it makes sense to you.
  In fairness, I posted this photo last year, before the hacking, and a member who claimed to be a photo analyst said the third floor window was closed.  I was shocked upon learning that, as I see something totally different.  However I accepted his conclusion.  Now I am wondering if what appeared to him as window glare, is actually smoke from rifles or cigars.  However the former member did make the concession that the second floor shooter is possible.  Some disagree.  Of course the alleged radioman/supervisor is located between both.   
  As far as I know, no identification has ever been made of my alleged supervisor, despite this person occupying the most strategic point of view, in probably the best sniper location in Texas.  I'll spare you all the details.  But I have made a further hypothesis that this individual is David Morales. You can read a little about him here:

         The hairline being referred to is in reference to the left temple region going Back toward the rear of the head. Not the Top of the head. The more you goof with the images the clearer the difference between the 2 individuals is made apparent. Even the Noses are Not the same shape. The guy with the double chin has more of a rounded/bulb nose vs Hill's Sharp Nose. And try and stick to the subject. Your insults do nothing to further the discussion.

So what are you trying to posit? That Hill jumped out and a look alike second replaced him? For what purpose? The second pic shows Hill without the sunglasses which he states were blown off as the limo pegged 75 mph on Stemmons Freeway.  There were plenty of folks lined up along Stemmons (with accompanying photos) and none reported the car stopped??

Meanwhile gents ...back to the TOPIC... a groundskeeper had testified that the signs were in fact moved around.
Quote
Mr. HUDSON - There were two of them that wasn't too far apart right throught here - them signs was - one was right along in here and the other one was either further up, I guess. It's not in that picture - I don't believe. Now, they have moved some of those signs. They have moved the R.L. Thornton Freeway sign and put up a Stemmons sign.
Mr. LIEBELER - They have? They have moved it?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes, sir.
When were the signs moved? Yesterday...three years ago???
If it was years before...why bring it up?
Quote
Mr. LIEBELER - How much time do you think passed from the time the first shot was fired untill the second shot was fired, can you make any estimate about that?
Mr. HUDSON - Oh, probably 2 minutes.
Mr. LIEBELER - As much as 2 minutes?
Mr. HUDSON - It might not have been that long.
Hudson meant to say seconds between shots I'm sure...
Another ba-bam sound?
Why didn't counsel clarify some of Mr Hudson's testimony?
Answer...He didn't really want to.

    I don't know if you are familiar with the DPD Motorcycle Officer Chaney/Lead Car Event. If not, you need to bone up on it. There is No dispute that this Event did happen. I believe the JFK Limo and the Lead Car were Stopped when this Event occurred. The stopping of the Limo was SA Hill's opportunity to leave his spread eagle position atop the rear of the car. As Jackie is quoted a little over a week after the assassination, "Then Clint Hill, he loved us, he was the first man IN THE CAR.... We ALL lay down In The Car". SA Youngblood was assigned to protect LBJ. When shots were fired he jumped into the back seat of LBJ's car and lay across/atop LBJ. Clint Hill was assigned to protect Jackie. I believe at the 1st opportunity Hill lay across/atop Jackie inside the Limo exactly as she described. I wouldn't be surprised if this course of action when under fire was SS Protocol. 
Title: Re: Was the Stemmons Freeway sign removed?
Post by: Doug Easterly on August 22, 2018, 03:13:44 PM
I think Hill took the position he was protecting both. Jackie was wrong, he didnt lay on them, they were already down. Then again, Jackie never remembered climbing out on the trunk to grab a piece of JFKs skull. Its conceivable the Curry car and limo stopped briefly side by side under the security of the overpass as word was quickly passed to Curry that JFK was indeed hit by the fire. Im not sure any of the film or pictures show that very brief stoppage.

   If you agree that there probably was a JFK Limo stoppage, what sense would it make for SA Hill to remain precariously perched spread eagle atop the rear of the limo? This stoppage would have been the perfect opportunity for him to get closer to the person he was assigned to protect = Jackie INSIDE the car. SS Chief Rowley during his WC testimony was reluctant to even admit as to the SA Hickey AR-15 that was locked and loaded on the floorboard of the Queen Mary. Rowley was questioned as to other weapons being on hand and Rowley wouldn't give that info up. His WC Q/A went Off-The-Record several times. These guys reveal Nothing. SA Hill for 54+ years has been maintaining this same SS dictum. He will not spill SS Protocol.

           Don't forget the floorboard of the Limo. When the Limo arrived at Parkland Hospital, JFK was difficult to extract due to his feet being tangled underneath a  jump seat in front of him. There remain many unresolved details concerning this case. Until we know what transpired from the time the Limo turned onto Elm St until it arrived at Parkland, this case will remain unsolved.

We know what happened, Oswald's rifle was directly linked to the recovered shells.
All the retrieved substantially sized fragments were directly linked to Oswald's rifle.
Oswald's rifle was directly linked to Lee Harvey Oswald.
Lee Harvey Oswald was directly linked to the Sniper's Nest.

Royell, what do you posit happened then in that 10 minute span? I know someone was quering if it was Hill that was on the back of the limo as it arrived at Parkland! I mean you have video of the whole sequence except for under bridge and then immediately after bridge at a knot of folks at the Stemmons turnoff in a haunting clip that shows boys waving and such in this knot, not knowing anything but observing the limo speeding by without the President seen in it and everyone in a state of frenzy in the cars. If anyone can post that clip after the tunnel, appreciated.

         There is nothing close to "video of the whole sequence". We have a scant few photos after the JFK Limo boarded the Stemmons Fwy On-Ramp & a Snippet of film footage showing the Stemmons Fwy itself.  That is all. It is undisputed that the Officer Chaney/Lead Car Event did happen. For Chaney to pull up alongside the passenger side of the Lead Car and talk with the driver/Chief Curry as to the condition of JFK, both the Lead Car and Chaney had to of been at a Dead Stop. This means the JFK Limo was likewise at a Dead Stop. It is unrealistic to think that while the JFK Limo was stopped, that highly trained SS Agents Hill and Kellerman just sat there twiddling their thumbs while waiting for the Limo to move forward again. The SS has protocols up the ying-yang for Every possible scenario/eventuality.

I read where Curry said they stopped, Im sure for a very brief period, to ascertain the seriousness of JFK condition. Dont know why the Lead Car just didnt continue escorting limo direct to Parkland but maybe Curry wanted to be able to radio JFK condition to Parkland? Although I would think there was direct radio in limo to Parkland?

          You must be unfamiliar with the WC Testimony involving the Lead Car and Chaney. It cites Chaney pulling up on the passenger side of the Limo.
          How fast/MPH do you believe the Lead Car & the JFK Limo were traveling as they were photographed approaching the Stemmons FWY On-Ramp?  Do you believe that Officer Chaney & Chief Curry could carry on a conversation regarding the physical condition of JFK while both the Lead Car and Chaney's Loud Motorcycle were speeding/racing to Parkland Hospital?

I'm familiar with the goings on ahead of the limo. I'm just not familiar with your concepts of physical dynamics. You're assuming that the only option is between "stopped" and "speeding/racing."  That's simply a false dilemma. It could be moving at any speed in between the two. BTW, if you pay attention to the Zapruder film, you'll see the limousine rapidly catching up to the lead car. In photos taken of  the motorcade on the West side of the triple overpass, the limo has already passed the lead car, and the Queen Mary is about  drive by. The lead car doesn't seem to be going particularly fast at that point.

You're assuming that the only option is between "stopped" and "speeding/racing."  That's simply a false dilemma. It could be moving at any speed in between the two. BTW, if you pay attention to the Zapruder film, you'll see the limousine rapidly catching up to the lead car. In photos taken of  the motorcade on the West side of the triple overpass, the limo has already passed the lead car, and the Queen Mary is about  drive by. The lead car doesn't seem to be going particularly fast at that point.

      You are obviously unfamiliar with the WC Testimony of Chief Curry, SA Sorrels, and SA Lawson. All of these law enforcement individuals were inside the Lead Car. Please bone up on the Officer Chaney/ Lead Car Event and the WC testimony of these 3 individuals.  Once you become knowledgeable regarding all of this, we can engage in an enlightening discussion. Your current unfamiliarity in these areas renders a meaningful discussion difficult if not impossible.

Piecing together what happened.

Muchmore captures the leading bikes as they turn onto Houston, 3 bikes followed by 2 more bikes, then like Zapruder she realized that Kennedy's Limo was not directly behind and stops filming, in the interim we miss Curry's car then when she starts again we see Kennedy's Limo with the 4 escort motorbikes.

Zapruder captures the 3 lead motorbikes, then stops filming....

(https://s15.postimg.cc/bsr8h78ez/z017.jpg)

....and then starts again when he sees Kennedy's Limo. And we know at this point that in front of the Limo is Curry's car and 5 bikes.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/52ar7wb0b/z136.jpg)

In this piece of Nix film it looks like the only motorbike that doesn't stop is the bike closest to us.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/4kflsb8nf/nix_cops_stop.gif)

In the first part of this gif we see the three leading bikes at the top of the frame with the outside escort bike starting to speed up and the two other middle bikes must be somewhere and if you look closely there seems to be the helmet of one of the two middle motorbike riders on the right side of the tunnel.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/d6s23xha3/cars_limo_underpass.gif)

(https://s15.postimg.cc/camdx7awb/underpasss.jpg)

Here we see one of the 2 bikes on our left in the tunnel and the outside bike which was escorting JFK's limo is just leaving the tunnel

(https://s15.postimg.cc/uij7xx6aj/underpass_two_cops.jpg)

Conclusion.

One of the two bikes following the three lead bikes approached Curry and that rider was "believed" to be Chaney.

Show your proof that Zapruder stopped filming. You are only assuming he did. He never said that he stopped filming.

The proof is the fact that in the Zapruder film at frame Z133 we see the typical lightening of the frame which only occurs when a film is stopped and restarted. Anyway the fact that Muchmore did the same thing only highlights the fact that you don't waste 8mm film when you only have bugger all.

Here are the first two Zapruder frames centered on the blue car after Zapruder started filming, with the initial frame being lighter.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/w81ygscjf/zapstart.gif)

And in the Muchmore film where she stops and starts for presumably the same reason as Zapruder, the two successive frames show the same effect.

So it appears as if the Lead Car and Chaney might have conversed then after the tunnel. It does not appear from the clips that the limo slowed or stopped at all, unsurprising given the circumstances. I guess if the chief's car stops as a motorcycle patrolman, you stop too to see what he needs. I understand that shortly after he climbed to the back of the limo, Hill gave a thumbs down signal to the Queen Mary meaning that the president was in very bad shape.

Rubbish. There is very little over exposure there at all. Fail Mytton. Note the difference in the light color of the road way in Z132,  and compare same to Z133, which according to Mytton is lighter, because of that's when Zapruder allegedly restarted the camera.

         Both the Lead Car & the JFK Limo are accelerating rapidly as they exit the Triple Underpass and head toward boarding the Stemmons Fwy On-Ramp. There is No Way Officer Chaney and Chief Curry, (driving the Lead Car), conversed while traveling at a high rate of speed. Also, remember that Chaney came up on the passenger side of the Lead Car making a discussion at high speed even More Impossible. The Lead Car having come to a STOP also gave Officer Chaney the opportunity to make up ground and catch up to the Lead Car where Boss/Chief Curry was. The Lead Car as well as the JFK Limo came to a STOP. This is when Jackie's remembrance, "Then Clint Hill, he loved us, he was the First Man IN the car.......We ALL Lay Down in the car...." came into play. Every bit of this segment of the Lead Car/ JFK Limo journey to Parkland Hospital makes perfect sense.

The first frame is from a cold start-up. I suggest the mechanism was sluggish from storage and so Z001 slagged more than Z133.

Have to put that one (Z134) down to a minute panning-error at best. See how most of the scene is no longer as blurred by Z135?

There is very little over exposure there at all.

Thank you!

Btw what a coincidence that both Zapruder and Muchmore started filming when they first saw the first bikes and both soon after stopped filming only to both start again when they were sure it was Kennedy's Limo and both 8mm film frames from each of their cameras show the typical slightly overexposed start up frame when the camera started filming again.

I'm familiar enough with it to know that Lawson told the WC that "the events after [the third shot] are a little bit jumbled" in his mind, and that he didn't say how fast the car was going when Cheney and Curry went tete-a-tete. While Lawson said that the limo never passed the lead car, I've already posted photographic proof that he was wrong on that point.

I'm familiar enough with it to not that Curry didn't testify about exactly when or where and Chaney exchanged words, or about how fast he was going at thing time it happened. The same with Sorrels.

And because of that, I have no idea where you get the idea that the lead car had to be either stopped or "speeding/racing" too fast for Curry and Cheney to understand each other. As far as I can tell, you assertion is nothing more than something you pulled wholly from your own fervid imagination. And your attempt at a Huffy Queen Bee Act only makes me even more confident that your assertion are just the application of make-believe on your part.

West and Breneman noted the identification of a mark on the Stemmons Freeway sign, but the Commission, during their walk-thru of the Plaza made no comment or mention that the sign, in so many of the films and photos, was gone.  Smith found through investigation that the sign initially was moved to the basement of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD), but after that is anybody's guess.

1.) How do you tell from a black and white still photograph how fast a car is going? By measuring the red shift?

2.) So what? Where the motorcycles appear in a photo doesn't tell you how fast the lead car was going when the motorcycle caught up.

3.) Kellerman was talking about what the limo was doing, bot the lead car, so what he said is immaterial here.

4.) How does Clint Hill or people in the back of the limo laying down prove that the lead car was "speeding/racing" or stopped, or (for that matter) that the limo stopped?

     We Not only have that photo, we have Films of both the Limo and Lead Car entering/exiting the Triple Underpass. Plus, the ASAIC Kellerman WC Testimony regarding the Immediate Rapid Acceleration of the Limo down Elm St. Maybe you believe the Limo and Lead Car were just toodling along until they boarded the Stemmons Fwy and Then per SA Hill cranked it up to 60-70 MPH? With the seriously injured POTUS in the rear of the Limo, this SS protocol would be ludicrous.

I don't know if there is any film that shows the limousine west of the triple overpass. At this point, I kinda doubt you do, either. That being said, the film and photographs we have show the limousine catching up to and overtaking the lead car West of the overpass. That is, at that point, the limo is moving much
faster than the lead car. It's a mystery how you can see that happening and then decide that the lead car was always running at the same speed as the limo is beyond me as well as beyond the laws of physics.

The Jack Daniel film confirms what I've already said based on the other photos and the Zapruder film: the limo catches up to and passes the lead car just West of the triple overpass. It also doesn't show the limo stopping. Did you think it would show different?

So far, you've told me to:

1.) Study the testimony of the guys in the lead car (Those accounts don't support your contentions about the lead car's speed).
2.) Ignore the lead car testimony, and follow what Kellerman, Hill, and Jackie said about what the limo did (Which does not address what the lead car was doing)
3.) Watch the Jack Daniel film (Again, it supports my contention that the limo was travelling much faster than the lead car)

I'm not sure why you're hellbent on proving me right at your expense, but I appreciate the generosity.

The street network that was captured by the Daniel film. The "stop" happened elsewhere and wasn't filmed.

The stop--or rolling stop--was where Officer Chaney caught up to the lead car.

You were claiming that the Daniel film shows Chaney not near Curry, as if that was where Chaney should have been speaking to Curry.

           The Daniel Film confirms You are Not up-to-speed on this subject. You either forgot or were Not aware it existed. You're welcome. Both the Lead Car and the JFK Limo were hauling arse and accelerating. The WC testimonies and the Daniel Film make this clear. There is No Way that Officer Chaney managed to catch up to the passenger side of the Lead Car while it was bookin' and then carry on a conversation with the Driver/Chief Curry. This ain't Indy Jones stuff.

I didn't know it existed, but then again, it doesn't really show that much.

In the film, the neither car appears to be moving particulary fast. In fact, it's 270 feet from the triple overpass to the sign over the mouth of the exit ramp. The first frames of the Daniel film show the limo at least a length past the overpass (and the limo was 21' long), and it takes five seconds to reach the shadows of the exit sign gantry. Subtract the length of the limo from the overpass-gantry distance to account for the car's initial position, and it's velocity over that time is 250 feet in 5 seconds, or 50 feet per second. Since 60mph is 88~90 ft/s, the limo is running at (50ft/s*60m/h)/90ft/s = 33mph. The limo is just not going that fast. And it's passing the lead car at this point.

Now, you might want to argue, "the limo was accelerating, so the exit speed must have been higher than the average."  However, you ought to first consider that another 100 feet past the mouth of the exit ramp, the Northbound lane peels away from the Southbound one in a blind right turn that's tighter than you might expect. The curve for the Southbound lane is rated for 40mph, and it has a slightly larger radius than it's Northerly brother. I simply can't see Greer trying to wrestle a 8000lb Presidential motorbeast (rolling on skinny bias-ply tires with 1963 Detroit brakes) around that turn at 40mph, especially since you can't see the end of the turn when you're approaching it, and don't know exactly what's coming.

Well, OK. I'm confused alright. You at least seem to be contenting that the rate-of-speed in the Daniel film is a constant as to how the detached motorcade made it's way from that area. Though that point seems a bit buried in some posts.

          You must be unfamiliar with the WC Testimony involving the Lead Car and Chaney. It cites Chaney pulling up on the passenger side of the Limo.
          How fast/MPH do you believe the Lead Car & the JFK Limo were traveling as they were photographed approaching the Stemmons FWY On-Ramp?  Do you believe that Officer Chaney & Chief Curry could carry on a conversation regarding the physical condition of JFK while both the Lead Car and Chaney's Loud Motorcycle were speeding/racing to Parkland Hospital?

         Both the Lead Car & the JFK Limo are accelerating rapidly as they exit the Triple Underpass and head toward boarding the Stemmons Fwy On-Ramp. There is No Way Officer Chaney and Chief Curry, (driving the Lead Car), conversed while traveling at a high rate of speed.

You're not the only one. He keeps saying the limo stopped, and the from the context of what he's saying it sounds like he thinks the limo stopped west of the overpass. So, if that's not where he said the stop occurred, then where was it supposed to have happened?

The Stop-and-Go Motorcade by Gary Mack (Excerpts)
     (Continuing Inquiry, April 22, 1980)

When retired Dallas Police Officer Earle V. Brown told me the motorcade
stopped on the Stemmons Freeway access ramp (see March 1980 TCI),
my first thought was verification.

I called Brown again to ask if he was absolutely certain about what he saw.

He said he'd been thinking about it for the past week and there was no doubt -
the motorcade, with the Kennedy limousine in front, came to a halt for some
30 seconds. Brown didn't remember any specifics - there may have been one
or two motorcycles, he couldn't recall anyone getting out of a car, one of the
men had what appeared to be a big automatic rifle.

When told of Officer Brown's account, Curry denied they stopped, but revised
his speed estimate to "pretty slow, maybe two to three miles an hour." Before
I could ask him to think about it more carefully, Curry unexpectedly volunteered
"You know, they didn't even know where the hospital was."

I'm convinced the motorcade made a dramatic slowdown on the Stemmons
Freeway entrance ramp and it probably stopped

Kellermann related this in his first day report:

"I yelled at William Greer (the driver) to "Step on it, we're hit!" and grabbed the mike from the car radio, called to SA Lawson in the police lead car that we were hit and to get us to a hospital.

With SA Lawson riding in the police car they quickly formed the accompanying escort for the motorcade around our limousines and sped us through the streets to the emergency entrance of Parkland Memorial Hospital."

Greer doesn't mention slowing down or any escort. But it there was one then the cars had to slow down somewhat in order to lineup any escort. If the limo raced ahead - but then some sort of escort was formed around it - it had to slow down, wouldn't it?

And Greer didn't know where the hospital was. He would need to be led to it.

McIntire couldn't have just swung around and took pictures of the cars on the access ramp. His view to that area was largely blocked by the Freeway Overpass. According to Trask, McIntire did move over to the ramp and took a third picture but it was some time after the limousine had departed.

You're Greer and Kellerman. You've just been shot at, but you don't know from where or by whom. You know that someone in the car has been critically wounded. Would you stop? I can see them slowing down, especially in order to navigate the turn on the on-ramp, but I can't see them stopping. It's worth remembering that Brown
also told the WC that he thought the limo stopped on Elm.

They didn't know how to get to the hospital. Better to wait 30-seconds (lead car catches up, the driver (or Kellerman) tells Curry he needs an escort to the hospital and Curry gets in the lead) than potentially spending two-or-three minutes driving around not knowing where to go. The lead car and motorcycles will also better open up traffic should any be encountered.

Brown mistook a "stop" on Elm for the brief slowing down captured on Zapruder and Nix.

     Knowing for a Fact that the SS had an AR-15 locked and loaded on the floorboard of the Queen Mary, do you really believe, (1) Should the POTUS come under fire that his only protection inside the JFK Limo would be the Service Revolvers of SA Greer and ASAIC Kellerman?, (2) Should the POTUS come under fire & the Limo and the Queen Mary become separated that the Only weapons available to return fire and protect the POTUS would be the service revolvers of SA Greer & ASAIC Kellerman? and (3) Should the POTUS come under fire that there would Not be a SS Protocol for the SS Agents in the motorcade to adhere to?  It is a common military practice when under surprise enemy attack/fire that when possible to Regroup and Reaccess your current position and possible options going forward. ALL of this would require a brief STOP. This is what unfolded West of the Triple Underpass BEFORE the Limo boarded the actual Stemmons Fwy.

1. and 2. are plain silly. 3. The protocol in place didn't cover this type of attack. According to Brown, the limousine did briefly stop on the ramp. Curry explained it being necessary because the out-of-towners SS didn't know (or was unsure) how to proceed to the hospital.

The Commission recommended changes in how the SS was to operate. Just after the assassination, the limousine's "Quick Fix" addressed the vehicle's lack of protection. Something must be working right; no President has been assassinated since.

The Secret Service had their own radios in both the limo and and in Lawson's lap in the lead car. As Kellerman wrote in his report, "I yelled at William Greer (the driver) to 'Step on it, we're hit!' and grabbed the mike from the car radio, called to SA Lawson in the police lead car that we were hit and to get us to a hospital." Lawson's report confirms Kellerman's: "I heard a report over the two-way radio that we should proceed to the nearest hospital." All that would need to happen after that was for the lead car to live up to it's name and lead them to Parkland. Given that ss100x had passed the lead car by the time it left Elm, they would have had to have slowed down to allow the the lead car to resume it's proper position, but it wouldn't require stopping. The limo wasn't that far ahead, and it definitely wasn't 30 seconds ahead.

This was a protective detail, not an infantry platoon. And they had enough agents in place in the limo to figure out what was going on even with someone driving, and radios to keep them in touch with other key players in the motorcade. For that matter, the blood, CSF, and brain matter that pelted Greer, Kellerman, and the windshield would have been an obvious indicator that someone was badly hurt, even without Hill in the back to advise. For reference, once Ronald Reagan was in the limo after Hinckley shot him, the limo didn't stop until it reached the hospital, even though the agents covering RR didn't at first realize he'd been shot, and diverted from the original destination (the White House) to GWU hospital.

If the SS in 1961-63 had a twin-car of the SS-100-X, and in training they were racing it around a mock street layout pretending there's a hidden sniper or two firing at them, then you might have a case that they should have been prepared for what happened in Dallas.

I thought this was ultimately about whether the limo stopped West of the triple overpass? How it's about whether Kellerman could fire back. For the record, I will state that the motorcade's first line of defense is its mobility, not it's firepower. That's apparent in the Reagan assassination attempt, for reference.

BTW: Greer, Kellerman, and the guys in the Queen Mary were the protective detail.

This post reflects just some of the witnesses that saw the limousine either nearly stop or stop during the shooting sequence.

*******************************************

The Warren Commission (WC) said the Presidential limousine did not come to a stop or slow to a near stop during the shooting of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). They used the testimony of the driver of the limousine Secret Service (SS) Agent William Greer for the basis of this claim. This post will look at this issue in greater detail as many witnesses said the limousine either stopped or came to a near stop during the shooting sequence.

***************************

As we saw in #178 (William Greer) the driver of the limousine testified before the WC about his experiences that day. The first thing of interest is the denial that he used any brakes during the shooting sequence, but as we saw in #178 this would be impossible since the road they were on (Elm Street) had a down grade to it!

Mr. SPECTER. In what portion of the street were you traveling?

Mr. GREER. I was right in the center of the street.

Mr. SPECTER. Would you describe for us the contour of the street at that point--whether it was level, hilly, or what.

Mr. GREER. It was starting to go down--gradually going down toward this underpass. It was a down grade.

Without him applying the brakes one would expect the limousine to pick up speed, but according to the WC it did not. They said this about the speed of the limousine at the time of the shooting.

Quote on

A more precise determination has been made from motion pictures taken on the scene by an amateur photographer, Abraham Zapruder. Based on these films, the speed of the President?s automobile is computed at an average 11.2 miles per hour. The car MAINTAINED this average speed over a distance of approximately 136 feet immediately preceding the shot which struck the President in the head. (WCR, p. 49) (Emphasis added)

http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wr/html/WCReport_0037a.htm

Quote off

This means the limousine traveled 136 feet on a road that had a DOWN GRADE to it, but we are too believe the driver maintained the same speed without using the brakes? Please. Why would the driver NOT want to be going faster than 11.2 mph anyway? That seems very slow for an open area with very few people in it to see the President.

This testimony by Greer was disputed by many other peoples? testimony. In fact, there is much more evidence for a stop or near stop in the twenty-six volumes than for Greer?s claim (the one the WC went with).

Dallas Police Officer Earle Brown said this in this WC testimony.


Mr. BALL. Did you see the President's motorcade come on to Houston Street from Elm; were you able to see that?

Mr. BROWN. Now they came down Main, didn't they, to Houston?

Mr. BALL. Yes.

Mr. BROWN. No. sir; actually, the first I noticed the car was when it stopped.

Mr. BALL. Where?

Mr. BROWN. After it made the turn and when the shots were fired, it stopped.

Mr. BALL. Did it come to a complete stop?

Mr. BROWN. That, I couldn't swear to.

Mr. BALL. It appeared to be slowed down some?

Mr. BROWN. Yes; slowed down. (VI, p. 233)

Ball was quick to get him to amend his comment to ?it appeared to slow down? instead of it stopped, but that does NOT help the WC anyway as they claimed the limousine MAINTAINED A 11.2 mph speed. Something doesn?t add up here.

We have seen the next witness?s comments in #106 as Dallas Police Officer Bobby Hargis said this about the limousine.


Mr. HARGIS - Yes; when President Kennedy straightened back up in the car the bullet him in the head, the one that killed him and it seemed like his head exploded, and I was splattered with blood and brain, and kind of bloody water, It wasn't really blood. And at that time the Presidential car slowed down. I heard somebody say, "Get going," or "get going." (VI, p. 294)

He too commented on the limousine slowing down in conjunction with the head shot. The next witness is also a Dallas Police Officer named D.V. Harkness. He said this before the WC about the limousine during the shooting sequence.

Mr. BELIN - What did you do?

Mr. HARKNESS - When I saw the first shot and the President's car slow down to almost a stop----

Mr. BELIN - When you saw the first shot, what do you mean by that?

Mr. HARKNESS - When I heard the first shot and saw the President's car almost come to a stop and some of the agents piling off the car, I went back to the intersection to get my motorcycle. (VI, p. 309)

He too said the limousine came to a near stop after the first shot. Isn?t this the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Greer should have done? Another Dallas Police Officer who was riding near the limousine, James Chaney, told others about the behavior of the limousine at the time of the shots. He told fellow Police Officer Marrion Baker what he saw and Baker told the WC.

Mr. BELIN - What other officers did you talk to and what did they say that you remember?

Mr. BAKER - I talked to Jim Chaney, and he made the statement that the two shots hit Kennedy first and then the other one hit the Governor.

Mr. BELIN - Where was he?

Mr. BAKER - He was on the right rear of the car or to the side, and then at that time the chief of police, he didn't know anything about this, and he moved up and told him, and then that was during the time that the Secret Service men were trying to get in the car, and at the time, after the shooting, from the time the first shot rang out, the car stopped completely, pulled to the left and stopped.

Mr. BELIN - The President's car?

Mr. BAKER - Yes, sir. Now, I have heard several of them say that, Mr. Truly was standing out there, he said it stopped. Several officers said it stopped completely.

Mr. DULLES - You saw it stop, did you?

Mr. BAKER - No, sir; I didn't see it stop.

Mr. DULLES - You just heard from others that it had stopped?

Mr. BAKER - Yes, sir; that it had completely stopped, and then for a moment there, and then they rushed on out to Parkland. (III, p. 266)

Chaney?s account would be repeated before the WC by Mark Lane too.

Mr. LANE. ? Now, Patrolman Chaney, who I made reference to a little earlier, the motorcycle patrolman, stated that the Presidential car stopped momentarily after the first shot. That statement was consistent with Miss Woodward's statement in the Dallas Morning News, that the automobile came to almost a complete halt after the first shot, and the statement of many other witnesses as well. (II, pp. 44-45)

The witnesses keep coming and they continue to be OFFICIAL type witnesses. Next up is SS Agent Samuel Kinney. He would state the following in his report.

Quote on

There was a second of pause and then two more shots were heard. Agent Clinton Hill jumped from the follow-up car and dashed to the aid of the President and First Lady in the President's car. I saw one shot strike the President in the right side of the head. The President then fell to the seat to the left toward Mrs. Kennedy. At this time I stepped on the siren and gas pedal at the same time. Agent Greer driving the President's car did the same. (Commission Exhibit (CE) 1024, p. 731)

Quote off

Kinney clearly says he and Greer did NOT step on the gas until AFTER the head shot had hit. Why? Another SS Agent, John Ready, would also say the limousine slowed down.

Quote on

At about 12:30 p.m. I heard what sounded like fire crackers going off from my post on the right front running board. The President's car slowed, someone in the follow-up car stated he was shot, and I left to run to the President's car. (CE 1024, p. 750)

http://www.historymatters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh18/html/WH_Vol18_0382b.htm

Quote off

Our next witness is also a SS Agent. His name is Thomas ?Lem? Johns and he wrote this in his report.

Quote on

When the shots sounded, I was looking to the right and saw a man standing and then being thrown or hit to the ground, and this together with the shots made the situation appear dangerous to me. I estimate that the motorcade was going approximately 12 to 14 miles per hour at this time, and I jumped from the security car and started running for the Vice President's car. I felt that if there was danger due to the slow speed of the motorcade, I would be of more assistance and in a more proper location with the Vice President's car. Before I reached the Vice President's car a third shot had sounded and the entire motorcade then picked up speed and I was left on the street at this point. (CE 1024, p. 774)

http://www.historymatters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh18/html/WH_Vol18_0394b.htm

Quote off

He says a couple of things in his report. Firstly, he comments on the slow speed of the motorcade and there was NO reason for this as Dealey Plaza (DP) was quite empty compared to the layers of people at other places in the motorcade. The motorcade was over by the time they turned onto to Elm Street for all intents and purposes, so why was Greer going so slow? Secondly, he mentions how the motorcade sped up once the shots were done! Why? Isn?t it better to save the life of the President with speed? I would think so, but we did NOT see that happening here.

Our next witness was the wife of the Dallas Mayor and she said was in the motorcade.


Mr. HUBERT. What did it seem like? An arm of an individual, or something mechanical?

Mr. CABELL. I did not know, because I did not see a hand or a head or a human form behind it. It was in just a fleeting second that I jerked my head up and I saw something in that window, and I turned around to say to Earle, "Earle, it is a shot", and before I got the words out, just as I got the words out, he said, "Oh, no; it must have been a "the second two shots rang out. After that, there is a certain amount of confusion in my mind. I was acutely aware of the odor of gunpowder. I was aware that the motorcade stopped dead still. There was no question about that.

Mr. HUBERT. When was that relative to the shots? I mean how soon after?

Mr. CABELL. I cannot say for sure, because as I told you, the motorcade was stopped. And somewhere in there, Congressman Roberts said, "That is a .30-06." I didn't know what a .30-06 was.

Twice she said the motorcade was stopped. Why is that? Our next witness has been highlighted in other posts in this series?Phillip Willis.

Mr. LIEBELER. I don't think I have any other questions about these pictures, unless you can think of something else that you think I should have asked you about, that I have forgotten about.

Mr. WILLIS. In slide No. 6, people were still on the ground and I took that picture, knowing that the party had come to a temporary halt before proceeding on to the underpass, and I have an arrow there which shows the back of the Secret Service agent climbing onto the back of the presidential car.

It is common sense the limousine came to a stop or a near stop otherwise how did Clint Hill catch up to it? Our last witness for this post will be the Governor?s wife Nellie Connally. She said this before the WC.

Mrs. CONNALLY. ? The third shot that I heard I felt, it felt like spent buckshot falling all over us, and then, of course, I too could see that it was the matter, brain tissue, or whatever, just human matter, all over the car and both of us.

I thought John had been killed, and then there was some imperceptible movement, just some little something that let me know that there was still some life, and that is when I started saying to him, "It's all right. Be still."

Now, I did hear the Secret Service man say, "Pull out of the motorcade. Take us to the nearest hospital," and then we took out very rapidly to the hospital.

Why did the SS Agent, Kellerman, NOT give this order before JFK was already dead? And why did Greer need this kind of order to do what he was trained to do?

We will continue to look at the rest of the witnesses later in another post, but suffice it to say, we already see the WC?s conclusion is sunk by their OWN evidence in the twenty-six volumes.

I thought this was ultimately about whether the limo stopped West of the triple overpass? How it's about whether Kellerman could fire back. For the record, I will state that the motorcade's first line of defense is its mobility, not it's firepower. That's apparent in the Reagan assassination attempt, for reference.

BTW: Greer, Kellerman, and the guys in the Queen Mary were the protective detail.

     Well, if You believe the JFK Limo boarded the Stemmons Fwy On-Ramp in front of the Lead Car, where do you think SA Greer thought he was going/headed? He was unfamiliar with the Dallas area. The JFK Limo could have easily been flushed out of Dealey Plaza and headed straight into a well planned ambush. If you believe the Limo boarded/sped down the On-Ramp ahead of the Lead Car & the Queen Mary, that protective detail Behind the POTUS is useless. The JFK Limo had to Stop, Regroup, & Reaccess the situation.

They were all connected by radio and I'm pretty sure in the following image that at least one of the 3 motorcyclists in front knew where Parkland was.

This post reflects just some of the witnesses that saw the limousine either nearly stop or stop during the shooting sequence.

*******************************************

The Warren Commission (WC) said the Presidential limousine did not come to a stop or slow to a near stop during the shooting of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). They used the testimony of the driver of the limousine Secret Service (SS) Agent William Greer for the basis of this claim. This post will look at this issue in greater detail as many witnesses said the limousine either stopped or came to a near stop during the shooting sequence.

***************************
The WC said the limo slowed down about the time of Z313, though they did deny it stopped or slowed significantly. Alavarez used a pair of linear regression analyses and found that it slowed from 12mph to 8mph centered about frame 300, though his linear regressions probably have quite a bit of uncertainty. The ANT Davison panoramic-background version of the Z-film shows the limo slowing down enough that I can see that someone might think the limo stopped.

HOWEVER

That's not what Storing is talking about. He's talking about a complete and extended stop West of the triple overpass.

When confronted with the lack of support for your contention, you invariably fall back to this nebulous refrain that I am somehow behind in the evidence. Then you'll point to some film or set of testimony that turns out not to prove what you claim, and is liable to disprove it.

That's not what Storing is talking about. He's talking about a complete and extended stop West of the triple overpass.

Officer Earle Brown (stationed on the T&R RR Overpass) said the limousine stopped on the access ramp for about 30 seconds, while the Curry car pulled up to it.

(http://i63.tinypic.com/34dk8w0.jpg)

Officer James W. Courson was a motorcycle policeman assigned to the middle of the motorcade. He told Larry Snead ("No More Silence" 1998 ( Google Books (https://books.google.ca/books?id=7uT-47ysB5MC&printsec=frontcover) )) that he was "stopped" at Main and Houston when he heard the shots. He was at the top of Elm and saw Mrs. Kennedy on the trunk. He caught up to the limousine as "they entered the Stemmons Freeway ramp." He was one of two rear escorts to Parkland.

The McIntire photo suggests Courson is wrong about the entrance to the ramp being where he caught up to the limousine. I think Courson caught up with the limousine on the ramp itself not far from the entry onto Stemmons. To cover that distance and catch up to the limousine would seem to mean the limousine had slowed considerably or, as Officer Brown claimed, momentarily stopped.

Have we confirmed that the police bike that talked to Curry was actually Chaney because Curry didn't seem sure and I have yet to be sure where 2 of the 5 following lead bikes ended up?

(https://s15.postimg.cc/hjb4abzcb/muchmore_bikess.gif)

Hargis parked his bike and says that Chaney accelerated up to the front which must be the bike in the gif below.

Mr. HARGIS - Yes; when President Kennedy straightened back up in the car the bullet him in the head, the one that killed him and it seemed like his head exploded, and I was splattered with blood and brain, and kind of bloody water, It wasn't really blood. And at that time the Presidential car slowed down. I heard somebody say, "Get going," or "get going,"
Mr. STERN - Someone inside--
Mr. HARGIS - I don't know whether it was the Secret Service car, and I remembered seeing Officer Chaney. Chaney put his motor in first gear and accelerated up to the front to tell them to get everything out of the way, that he was coming through, and that is when the Presidential limousine shot off, and I stopped and got off my motorcycle and ran to the right-hand side of the street, behind the light pole.

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/jfkinfo/hscaharg.htm

Slightly before the McIntire photo was taken the Presidential Limo was passing Curry's car at a rate of knots and a casual glance in that direction would indicate that something was drastically wrong and we know that Curry heard the shots.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/uapago1cr/cars_limo_underpass.gif)

Greer's official SS report reinforces all that we have been saying, that Kellerman was on the radio to the lead car and if the motorcycle police weren't already aware of what happened, Greer made sure of it.

We rushed up to the police escort and I called to the motorcycle police, Hospital. Mr. Kellerman was calling to the lead automobile on the radio to get to the nearest hospital fast. I drove as fast as I could to the hospital and helped to get the President into the emergency room.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/sa-greer.htm

Another observation is that I'm pretty sure that the motorbike on our left at the mouth of the tunnel is stationary because if you look at the gif above you can see the white helmet of this motorbike cop but I can't explain why the bike panniers aren't as visible, perhaps the cops helmets were made of reflective material? Or another take could be that this bike is Chaney and the other Martin?

     Officer Chaney has a You Tube clip that was filmed on 11/22/63. He details talking to Curry. The WC testimony of Curry and the individuals inside the Lead Car verify this happened and that it was Chaney. With regard to SA Greer, he's tapping the brakes, he made No evasive driving moves, he's accelerating passed the Lead Car and heading head long into a possible ambush. He panicked when under fire. All of this taints his testimony. He is going to cover his arse.
      I believe the JFK Limo did STOP and that during this Stop that Chaney caught up to the Stopped Lead Car and conversed with Curry. This would mean the Stop lasted for somewhere around 30 seconds to 1 Minute. To be accurate, remember that in his WC Testimony Officer Brown made No Mention of seeing the JFK Limo Stop. The Officer Brown eyewitness tale of a JFK Limo stop is Not Testimony. It is a phone conversation with Gary Mack.
      The absent 2 Lead Bikes you asked about broke off as planned when the motorcade reached Main/Houston. They sped up ahead and were then involved in making sure that the Stemmons Fwy was clear for the oncoming POTUS/Motorcade.

I think Courson caught up with the limousine on the ramp itself not far from the entry onto Stemmons. To cover that distance and catch up to the limousine would seem to mean the limousine had slowed considerably or, as Officer Brown claimed, momentarily stopped.

The only witness for a stop is Brown, who reported this in 1980 but not in 1964. From the films of the motorcade leaving Dealey Plaza, the Queen Mary and the VP car both took off after the limo. There were four guys in the lead car, six in the limo, seven in the Queen Mary,  and seven more in the VP car, with a couple of motorcycle officers caught up with them. Of those, the only one who ever said anything close to describing stoppage on the Stemmons ramp is Curry, who had to be told by Gary Mack that the limo stopped. Even then, Curry never said it stopped. Put it all together, and it doesn't add up to a stop.

I'd bet the limo slowed down just before it hit that blind right hand curve on the ramp. Trying that at speed in a four ton automobile rolling around on four  skinny bias-ply tires is one of those "watch this" sort of stunts. I can see Greer letting off the gas negotiating it, and a 7800lb car isn't going to accelerate all that well once it's around the bend. I can't see them stopping for any reason. After all, they had radio.

Don't blame me because the photographers took stereoscopic photos of the wounds to prove their authenticity and don't blame me for conclusively proving that both images share the same relative depth map.

And don't blame me for NASA using the exact same principle of utilizing stereoscopic photos which is the only way to accurately calculate distances and recreate authentic 3D scenes.

Your computer artificially-generated morph has ZERO to do with stereoscopic photos (or the space program).  You take two different photos and the software generates all the intermediate images between the two.  It actually proves nothing (though it is kinda cool looking).

Well duh, the only reason it's "kinda cool looking" is because the millions of individual pixels in both photos have to be in perfect 100% co-ordination in both photos otherwise you end up with beef jerky. The exact same principle happens with any stereoscopic photo or even the Oswald photos because Oswald's facial landmarks are as unique as his fingerprints.

With a pair of 3D glasses the above Moon photos can be combined into a 3D image but the "kinda cool looking" morphs demonstrate the 3D depth and thus the authenticity much better in Forums.

Really, Steve?  This is the JFK Assassination Forum, not the Quibble About What The Word "exactly" means Forum.  Like I said, do you want the source code?  Would you even understand it if you saw it? 

The point is, the morphs are composed of artificially generated intermediate images that are not reality.  "Mytton" hasn't disputed that because he knows it's correct.

But if it makes you feel better to call me a "liar" because I wasn't "exact" enough for you then be my guest.  You don't seem to be anywhere near as concerned when people lie about the evidence in the JFK case.  Which is why you're here, right?

Getting a little bit back to topic, well not really as it should be talking about the Stemmons Freeway sign being removed!  However much of the talk in this thread centers around a second stop of the limousine west of the triple overpass.   

This interview with David Lifton says there are 3 witnesses to this 2nd stop and says it was at this time that Jacqueline Kennedy wanted to get out the car once more as she feared for her life and was forced back into the car by the SS!  Is this something new or just another author making money?  35:00 minutes into this video!  No question the car had slowed down near to a stop at the time of shooting as Hill runs up to it.  How fast can you run and catch a 12 mph car?

There also was mention of Connally watching the Zapruder Film video on Monday while in the hospital  (47:20) so Nellie and him could comment properly given the knowledge obtained from this.

Nothing I said about your "work" is incorrect.  Interesting that you made all kinds of claims about what your "work" proved without elaborating in any detail other than to say that it clearly proved whatever it is you claimed it proved.  Nice double-standard.

It's also interesting that LNers are so emotionally attached to their conclusion that anybody who challenges any bit of it gets instantly and personally dragged through the mud with insults or character assassination.  Why is that?  If your solution is so correct and obvious, then why can't you just defend any objections to your so-called evidence with facts and reason instead of insults and word games?

So she was there to look at faces which she couldn't recognise?

At the end of the day you can attempt to make fun of Markham not understanding the odd question and being nervous but all that matters is what she saw on the 22nd and she saw Lee Harvey Oswald kill J D Tippit and as Oswald left the scene he was identified by even more who all positively identified Oswald fiddling with a weapon

Mr. BALL. What about number two, what did you mean when you said number two?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Number two was the man I saw shoot the policeman.


Mr. BELIN - What did you see then?
Mr. BENAVIDES - I then pulled on up and I seen this officer standing by the door. The door was open to the car, and I was pretty close to him, and I seen Oswald, or the man that shot him, standing on the other side of the car.

Mr. BELIN. Did you see anything else as you heard her screaming?
Mrs. V DAVIS. Well, we saw Oswald. We didn't know it was Oswald at the time. We saw that boy cut across the lawn emptying the shells out of the gun.

Mr. BALL. Did you recognize anyone in that room?
Mrs. B DAVIS. Yes, sir. I recognized number 2.

Mr. CALLAWAY. No. And he said, "We want to be sure, we want to try to wrap him up real tight on killing this officer. We think he is the same one that shot the President. But if we can wrap him up tight on killing this officer, we have got him." So they brought four men in.
I stepped to the back of the room, so I could kind of see him from the same distance which I had seen him before. And when he came out, I knew him.
Mr. BALL. You mean he looked like the same man?
Mr. CALLAWAY. Yes.

Mr. BALL. Then what did you do?
Mr. GUINYARD. I was looking--trying to see and after I heard the third shot, then Oswald came through on Patton running---came right through the yard in front of the big white house---there's a big two-story white house---there's two of them there and he come through the one right on the corner of Patton.

Mr. LIEBELER. Let me show you some pictures that we have here. I show you a picture that has been marked Garner Exhibit No. 1 and ask you if that is the man that you saw going down the street on the 22d of November as you have already told us.
Mr.REYNOLDS. Yes.

Mr. BELIN. Four? Did any one of the people look anything like strike that. Did you identify anyone in the lineup?
Mr. SCOGGINS. I identified the one we are talking about, Oswald. I identified him.

RUSSELL positively identified a photograph of LEE HARVEY OSWALD, New Orleans Police Department # 112723, taken August 9, 1963, as being identical with the individual he had observed at the scene of the shooting of Dallas Police Officer J.D. TIPPIT on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, at Dallas, Texas.

Out of all the comments there was only 1 guy who was looking at a different composite to mine but he felt there was too much separation which made it difficult for him to recombine.

Whereas when I make anaglyphs, I take into consideration the left and right separation since the end result works better and feels more comfortable when it mimics our actual eyes.

As per Jim Marrs , WFAA Chanel 8 news cast that within a week of the assassination there was talk of the Stemmons Freeway sign being taken down because of bullet holes in it . There was speculation that Hoovers group took down the sign .  Google up " The Stemmons Freeway Sign and the Lamppost " . On Wednesday November 27 , 1963 , Pete Barnes of the Dallas Police Crime Lab visited Dealey Plaza and took a series of photos with a speed graphic camera . He had made a cardboard sign of the Stemmons freeway sign to use as a comparison since the Original Stemmons Freeway sign had been taken down . He was trying to compare the Zapruder film frames to the Barnes frames and also with photos .

The sign can be seen as late as the summer of 1964. Maybe they replaced it with an identical sign shortly after the assassination, but that seems unlikely.
