JFK Assassination Forum

   Thanks for being man enough to simply ask this question. Witt testified that he was sitting on the knoll when the JFK Limo surprised him as it came down Elm St. He jumped up and began moving straight toward Elm St as he simultaneously struggled to open his umbrella. He claimed by the time he looked up from his struggling with the umbrella, that the JFK Limo had already traveled passed by him. None of this is on the Bronson Film. The Bronson film shows Witt standing stock still with the JFK Limo not yet having reached him. Witt did positively ID himself on the photo showing Witt seated on the retaining wall with The Cuban. The Bronson film had not become  public at the time of the Witt HSCA testimony. The Zapruder Film also shows the Umbrella being fully open and pumped as the JFK Limo passed by the Umbrella Man.

The best quality version of the Bronson film is at the SFM website:

From this, by the time Bronson is filming the limo rolling down Elm, it has indeed already passed TUM, just as Witt said.

       I believe Oswald was involved in the assassination. What's your "incontrovertible evidence" that he was inside the sniper's nest at 12:30 PM?

For starters, his fingerprints were on the boxes that had been stacked to form a rifle rest and they were oriented exactly as the would be if he had been facing down Elm St. The shells found in the sniper's nest were positively matched to the rifle found elsewhere on the sixth floor to the exclusion of all other rifles in the world. His palm print was on the underside of the barrel which could only have been placed there when the rifle was disassembled which it would have to have been to fit in the bag found near the sniper's nest. The bag had Oswald's finger and palm print on it and contained fibers that matched the blanket Oswald used to store his rifle in Ruth Paine's garage. Fresh fibers were found on the butt plate of the rifle that matched the shirt Oswald was wearing at the time of his arrest. The only two bullets recovered from the shooting matched the rifle on the 6th floor to the exclusion of all other firearms in the world. There was a paper trail that proved Oswald ordered the rifle from Klein's Sporting Goods and there are several photos of Oswald holding that rifle. In what Bizarro universe could all the evidence be present if Oswald was not the shooter in the 6th floor sniper's nest.

As if that wasn't enough, Oswald leaves his workplace without authorization in the middle of the day, goes to his rooming house to retrieve his revolver which he used to kiil JDT less than 45 minutes later. Why don't you embarrass yourself further by asking me to provide evidence Oswald murdered Tippit.

The only way there could have been more evidence Oswald was the shooter in the sniper's nest is if he had take a selfie of himself with the rifle in the sniper's nest at 12:29.

The car was always there but the ladies in front are blocking most of it.
The first image below is from the above photo gallery and you can see some of the car next to the lady with the folded arms and you can see the roof a little bit to her right.
I believe the car to our left is directly in front of this car and as can be seen the perspective angle relatively shortens the length and when approximately sized, fits well within the block of obscuring ladies.



Royell's Car on the extreme left and a car directly behind, shows that the car in the above image was behind Royell's car.



In this Couch frame, the end of the car is a good match compared to the folded arm lady and the roof section as compared to the ladies in Wiegman is a similar height.

   As you can see in the middle still frame, when you park cars across the street from each other, the entire "other side of the street" is gone. The "2 guys" we see on the Couch Film Still Frame have just exited the "getaway" car.

Dear Royell,

Correct.

The two guys (Shelley and Lovelady, or two evil, evil Deep-State agents who look just like them) aren't "next to" the so-called "Abandoned Getaway Car" -- they're across the street from it.

       "Across the street" from the "getaway" sits the Corvair. That is a very narrow street.  Do your research and look at the Nat Geo snippet showing Officer Harkness's 3 wheel motorcycle double-parked alongside Inspector Sawyer's car. There's simply no room.
