Has anyone ever suggested that Zapruder's "stick-man" was using a walkie-talkie?
These gif images below from the Mark Bell film in The Lost Bullet seem to indicate that this just might be the case....

The implication being...what? That he was the radio man for a hit team?

That would be at least one reasonable interpretation... It sure looks like this fellow is talking on something...!

Yeah I agree. It also appears to be a civilian. Can you post a little more zoomed out version of the video so we can determine where he is coming from and where he is running to?

I saw one of our Vice Presidents in the 1970s; there was security everywhere, on store tops and so forth near the speech at the County Courthouse. So, this is some time after 1963 but somewhere along the line, they may have used some walkie-talkies.

And thinking about that, brought me to thinking too....transistor radios were in the vogue around 1963. Now, looking at the pictures, I think it's more likely a walkie-talkie. I wonder if there was a live broadcast on the JFK motorcade? I don't think so. I'm just throwing out another possibility.

A walkie-talkie is rather long, even in 1963. Bulky? I don't know. The ones in WWII were bulky.

Pretty small, any antenna sticking out?

Obviously, Radio Shack's would have been something inexpensive... but there is probably a chance, Spies, someone like that could have state of the art equipment and perhaps something compact.

Jim Hicks [arrow] reportedly was carrying a walkie talkie.

Can somebody remind me of this person name? I cannot recall her name and will show you her connection to "stick-man".
Thanks.
