JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: The First Shot
« Last post by Tom Graves on Yesterday at 07:35:32 AM »
I am not seeing that at all in Mark Tyler’s animation. Here is the frame showing Rosemary Willis (circle no. 50) in the position seen in Z145.  The President’s car is right along side where she is standing.


Funny, the closest I'm able to click-click it to Z-145 is Z-145.3, and at that point the rear end of the limo is a couple of inches farther down Elm Street than she is.

Regardless, here's a question for you:

Do you think Robert Croft was looking at Jackie in Z-145?

If so, why is Rosemary Willis' head turned farther to the right than his?

You think that her head is turned more than 90 degrees to her shoulders? How much more than 90 degrees? Can you turn your head more than 90 degrees to your shoulders? I can’t.

Why would that be necessary in order to look away from the limo and back in the general direction of the TSBD?

Just based on the Zapruder film alone, do you think the possibility that she is looking at the President’s car is excluded?

I wouldn't be saying what I am (that she's looking in the general direction of the TSBD) if I thought otherwise.

D'oh!

Robert Croft would take his z161 photo about a second later.  He said he had enough time after that photo for him to wind his film before the first shot sounded.  I guess he and Betzner completely missed that first horrible ear-shattering noise at "Z-124."

Some witnesses said it sounded muffled (which makes sense given the fact that it was a steeply-downward-angled shot which required Oswald's having the muzzle of his short-rifle inside the building).

I guess it depended on whether or not one discounted the sound as yet another motorcycle backfire and/or where one was standing or riding in a motorcade car at the time.

She may have given up looking at the President by then. The car was too far ahead and watching the backs of their heads may not have been that exciting for her.

Why did she snap her head to her left and finally start looking at the limo around Z-214?

Answer: Because it was her dream to catch a glimpse of JFK and Jackie, and the sound of Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot at "Z-124" had distracted her for 3.8 seconds from doing that.

She may have been watching other cars in the motorcade for a second or so before z199, which is when she stops moving.

LOL!

At z201 she is probably processing the loud sound she had heard about half a second earlier and is about to turn her head in her perceived direction of the sound and see pigeons flying from the roof of the TSBD.

Yeah, sure.

I'm saying she was looking in the general direction of the TSBD, not at the limo -- which, according to Mark Tyler's motorcade animation, was a car-length farther down Elm Street than she was at Z-145.

Nice try, but I'm not saying she was looking specifically at the south-east corner sixth floor of the TSBD from Z-145 to Z-214.

I'm saying she was looking in the general direction of the TSBD, not at the limo -- which, according to Mark Tyler's motorcade animation, was a car-length farther down Elm Street than she was at Z-145.

Therefore, you've got your "plane of hood opening" turned too far in Zapruder's direction at Z-145 -- it doesn't correlate with what we see in his film.

Oh, it gets worse.

The Education Forum-JFKA is giving full airing to crackpots who hold that LBJ, in cahoots with the IDF and even the captain of the ship, purposely sunk the USS Liberty so that LBJ could order four fighter-bombers, loaded with A-bombs, to nuke Cairo.

The fighter-bombers were en route when the USS Liberty inconveniently did not sink, meaning crew could ID the IDF planes that had attacked, and so Cairo was saved.

Then, there was the time Mossad downed the WTC 9/11 towers. In collusion with President Bush.

That crackpot theory is firmly held by an EF-JFKA "moderator."

Why John Simkin has allowed the EF-JFKA devolve into a crank-crackpot forum for anti-Semitic kooks and others...I don't know.

Simkin is up in years.

What sensible person, turning to the EF-JFKA, and reading such demented drivel..will have an enhanced opinion of JFKA CT's?

   The above is based on the Zapruder Film. As is Always the case, "Consider the source".
The Z312 timing of Hickey's last shot is of course based on Zapruder footage.
But the position of Hill just short of the center of the front wheel at Z312 is based on Bronson footage mainly.

TG--

"Grok" was a hip word a few years before I went to college.

If I recall correctly, a term from "Stranger in a Stranger Land."

I grok what you are getting at.

Grok!

She's looking at the limousine until she hears the 1st shot at Z-157.

LOL!

Good one!

Is she looking at the limousine in Z-145?

Verily, and I implied what you implied. And that implies what?

BTW, Valery is derived from the Latin root, Valerius, meaning "to be strong."

"Kostikov" is of Eastern European origin and means "descendant of Konstantin," which translates to "constant" or "steadfast".

Such a formidable fellow.

Is this your GROK imitation?
