[Truly's not moving towards the steps in Darnell] is why I continue to question these accepted timelines. If you look at the Sixth Floor/Darnell Film opening frames, the driver for camera car #2 is already standing outside of the car. Not in the process of getting out of the car but standing flatfooted on the ground. Those cars were stopped for an extended period of time. The WC did all they could to quickly get Officer Baker inside the TSBD in order for him to quickly confront Oswald inside the 2ND floor lunchroom. The longer it might take for Baker to confront Oswald, the more it would look like Oswald was casually sitting inside the Lunchroom drinking a soda pop, etc. Also, Wiegman filmed the JFK Limo going under the Triple Underpass. And Wiegman was inside Camera Car #1. Wiegman jumped out of that car because it was moving far too slow. The longer it takes for the JFK Limo to go under the Triple Underpass, the more it looks like there was a JFK Limo STOP. I believe the :20 second time stamp applied to Officer Baker crossing the Island and then his :30 second time stamp of entering the TSBD, was orchestrated with the possible JFK Limo STOP and the Oswald/Baker 2nd Floor confrontation in mind.

Dear Stormtrooper Storing,

Paranoiac much?

Realized I'd had a brain fart and said HSCA in several places where I meant AARB in my original post, so I corrected that.

You will note that there was an unexplained 18-month gap between the time Burkley's daughter Nancy Danlea told Horne "sure, no problem" about granting the AARB access to the materials in Illig's office and the time she told Horne "no way." She had been intrigued by what Horne told her in their first conversation - Burkley had never said anything to anyone in the family about a conspiracy (or anything else JFKA-related), and Nancy made the Sprague memo part of the price for granting access. Since Horne really didn't have much to send her, it was surely all sent during the 18-month period. The Sprague memo must have made her eyes pop out. Since she could grant access to the Illig materials, she obviously had access to them herself as the executor of Burkley's estate. My guess is, she looked at the materials and saw something there that likewise made her eyes pop out. She either decided on her own, with the other family members and/or with legal advice that "You do NOT want to get involved in this." That's the only explanation for her complete about-face that makes sense to me. Alas, she died in 2002: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/latimes/name/nancy-denlea-obituary?id=28129080.

The first time I was shot it was in the left calf. I was dropped to the floor as if hit with a bat, within milliseconds. The second time I was shot it shattered my right tibia, again I was down on the floor before a tenth of a second had completed. The third time I was shot was in my mid back. The bullet entered to the left of my spine and broke my rib, exiting on the left of my stomach area. it took an eight hour operation to repair the internal damage to my spleen and stomach. They cut about 40% of my spleen away and part of my stomach. Took me two years to recover.
Getting shot in the back dropped me like a sack of sh*t within milliseconds.
The circumstances in which I was shot are not important but suffice to say I was on the right side of the law on all three occasions.
What it does learn you is what happens when you get shot and you see your colleagues getting shot and I can assure you on the above image that JC isn't any where near being shot, not even close, not even a sniff.

I don't suppose anything. There are any number of reasons for the people in the limo to turn their heads. A reaction to a gunshot is just one possibility. Maybe that was the point in time when Nellie said to JFK, "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you" and JFK responded by saying, "No, you sure can't." According to Nellie, that first shot sounded just after that exchange. I'm not stating that as fact, only a possibility. Nellie wasn't the most reliable of witnesses.

Point taken, but the four other limo passengers did turn their heads (in different directions) within half-a-second of JFK's quick turn to his left in Z-144, and Rosemary Willis did turn her head away from JFK and Jackie and towards the TSBD right before JFK's head turn, and Secret Service Agents Bennett and Hickey did start leaning far over in the follow-up car during the same time frame -- the former, having heard a firecracker-like-sound, to look around Dave Powers, and the latter, having heard a firecracker-like-sound, to look down at the pavement where the thought the firecracker had exploded.

This is so ridiculous it's embarrassing. After carefully monitoring myself on my drive to Walmart this morning, I am forced to conclude that I reacted to at least 14 shots. My wife thinks it was 17, but she's kind of a Nellie Connally if you get my drift. Honestly, does it get any sillier or more pointless than this?

Who asked you, MGFPR?
