Being that the Huge Gates were torn down along with that entire half block of the Elm St Ext, I do Not believe that 90% of those interested in the JFK Assassination realize how Massive they were. My estimation is that each gate is roughly 8' Wide by 12' -14' High. (Higher than a Pro basketball rim). This is why Officer Mooney could only close 1 gate by himself. Just look at a good copy of the 3 Tramps Photo as the Tramps are escorted passed those still unlocked/open gates. For those Massive Gates to be "Wide Open" as Officer Mooney testified, means their being Wide Open was Planned. Nobody accidentally leaves 2 massive structures "Wide Open" by accident.
Do you really think the architect who designed that entrance made the gates so massively HUGE and heavy that they would require two big, strong men to open them and close them every day?
How is it that Officer Mooney, as you say, was able to close one gate, but not the other?
Did he get completely tuckered out closing the first one?
