Who is this fellow... and why does he look away from the president?

     Many questions surround SA Hickey including WHY & WHAT is causing him to be Seated at a Much Higher Level than everyone else inside the Queen Mary? He also was at this elevated seating position as the Queen Mary came down Houston St and he was Not sitting atop the back seat/trunk. Hickey's elevated position places his head Above the windshield sun visors which are in an UP position = higher than the front windshield. If the Queen Mary were a hard top car, Hickey's head would be Higher than the top of the vehicle. Another point of reference is the SS Agents shoulders Standing on top of the running board to Hickey's immediate left. Hickey's head is at about the same level as these agents shoulders = Extremely High vs everyone seated inside the vehicle. Hickey's elevated position would have made it extremely awkward/difficult for him to then bend all the way down to the floorboard of the Queen Mary and pick up the Locked-N-Loaded AR-15 Rifle which was positioned there inside the Queen Mary by the SS. Hickey then needing to Quickly straighten back up/Stand Up inside the confines of the vehicle while clutching the Locked-And-Loaded AR-15 Rifle would have likewise been an extremely Awkward maneuver being simultaneously attempted while under enemy fire. The AR-15 possibly having been discharged during Hickey going through all of this is very possible. Also, the inexperience of SA Hickey can Not be Overstated. Though trained as all SS Agents are, Hickey was normally assigned to Wash-N-Wax /"Detail" the Queen Mary and the JFK Limo. He would not be confused with James Bond.

  The side of the Depository was in partial shade at 12:30, meaning the sun was relatively south, not southwest. Sun wasn't shining along the length of Elm Street where the shooting occurred.

So... people are shielding their eyes for no reason at all. 

[Royell Storing]

Seems most of the eye-shielding people are looking towards the south. Nearly all those in the Altgens photo looking to the southwest, as the Sniper's Nest gunman would have been, are facing away from the sun and not shielding their eyes.

So when you wrote "How could a gunman make any kind of an accurate shot facing into such glare?" you either didn't think about the angle of the sun and it's relationship to the limousine position on Elm, or you think a gunman was aiming at the motorcade down Houston Street or towards the reflecting pool.

A teachable moment if you want to grasp it. 

           If you buy into the way the boxes were set up inside the sniper's nest then Oswald would have been seated a few feet Back from the window. I would doubt the Sun would be a factor if he were seated back from the window. A difficult scenario to envision is how if Oswald was Seated a few feet Back from the window he was able to Fire DOWNWARD at a sharp angle with the 1st alleged shot.

Teachable? Meaning- just look at a map and never mind a photograph? Facing away from the sun? The person in the Altgens photo-- on the front steps apparently shielding his eyes with both hands [between Lovelady and the SS agents on the right side of their car]..  is not looking at the motorcade? 
The shadow from the running man illustrates the direction of the sun ...directly towards the suspected window--

Lets take another look..


It was reported by witnesses that a man was standing at that spot. Well maybe so. Look at the shadows on the left side of the sill and under the box. Looks contrived/staged to me. I believe it was...at a different time of day.
What does CE 887 prove?...that with all the boxes out of the way, you can get a good angle down to the street?
They even got a guy that looks like Oswald for added effect.

[Jerry Freeman]

Maybe he had his hands up earlier when the limousine went by and figured he'll turn back and see who else was in the motorcade. So he left his hands in place for the hell of it. Maybe the sun felt good on his forearms.

"For the hell of it"? Who are you trying to convince?

      Now show me where a Tripod which was allegedly attached to the Carcano was recovered inside the TSBD. This is the kind of Hokum that J Edgar and The Boys repeatedly threw out there during the construction of the Warren Report. Same goes for the reconstruction they filmed of Oswald alleging traveling from the snipers nest down to the 2nd floor lunch room. Unabashed
