Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

The dungeon master, Lance Uppercut is back, and with him I should always remind you what this cretin did, which is draw what he claims are Lovelady's horizontal lines in diagonally.

Here we had Lovelady demonstrating his position in the doorway, and yet somehow, Lance thinks he was leaning way over to produce steeply diagonal lines EVEN THOUGH HIS HEAD IS PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. So, his body was going over, but his head wasn't. That's what living in the dungeon does to your mind.

But now, Lance is proposing an alternative for Danny Arce and the object in front of him. He's saying what looks like a long cylindrical object is actually the top edge of the little window.

Lance is lying with his crayons. Do you see how he drew in the dimensions of the window in purple? Well, let's look at it without the added color. 

There is a faint line there going down, and I take that to be the junction of the two sides of his coat. Let's put it alongside a side vent window. 

Lance is calling the housing below the "antenna" Danny's t-shirt. But that's ridiculous. He had a coat on and it was closed. 

Are you denying that they are the same guy, Lance? Because it would be helpful to know that. There are two issues: whether the man is holding a walkie-talkie is one issue. Whether he is Danny Arce is another. 

So, Lance are you denying that he was Danny Arce? Are you claiming that it was another man who just happened to resemble Arce in face, hair, and dress as much as we see here? Answer the question. 

But, if we look at more images of Danny Arce from that day, we see that the notion that it was his t-shirt showing is ridiculous.

Now returning to the collage with the vent window:

Keep in mind that even without that guy being Danny Arce, it is ridiculous to claim that the mass below the antenna is his t-shirt. But, if he's not Danny Arce, then there was a Danny Arce double in Dealey Plaza that day. 

Now, let's go in a little closer.

Notice that the vent window goes almost all the way up to the top. In verticality, the vent window is almost as tall as the main window. It's a little bit lower to allow for the housing, but that's it. 

But, in the Altgens photo, with the open door, you can see the molding for the top of the main window, which is equivalent to the top of the door itself. 

 So, the top edge of the vent window should go almost as high as the top of the door. 

It's a little bit lower, but not much. It goes most of the way. But it doesn't in the Altgens photo.

Now, let's consider the metal frame. Obviously, we can see the metal frame surrounding the main window. And notice on the vent window that there is only one edge of glass that lacks a metal frame.

So, the bottom part, which is making contact with the body of the door has a metal frame. It's moving there, and you wouldn't want raw glass scraping back and forth against the surface. So, shouldn't there be a housing on the bottom part of Lance's theoretical vent window?

And don't tell me it's lower down because we can see the hood of the car, and it's not below the hood. But here's another problem: The vent window is forward. Right? It starts where the windshield is, and it is in front of the main window. But, aren't we seeing that door open? Isn't that the whole freaking front door of the car opened up? Well, why does the back of that door appear to be in front of the vent window? We see the uninterrupted vertical line of the back molding coming down. That is way behind the vent window, and yet, it appears to be in front of and partly occluding the object in question. 

 So, there are numerous problems with this idea, the biggest being the fact that he has the vent window only going up about 2/3 as high as it should, and the fact that there is no metal molding protecting the glass from friction at the bottom where it rubs (and in density the bottom of it looks no different than what Lance is taking to be the vertical edge of the glass). And the fact that the rear molding of the door seems to be in front of the object in question is a huge problem as well. 

Before we close, let's look at the other side of the car.

It looks like the vent window wasn't opened at all on that side. It looks like the main window was open- all the way open. Notice that we get the sense of seeing glass, dingy glass, in the vent window but clear space in the main window, even though it's black. There is a vast difference there. So, I would say that that window was open. Now, I want you to glance your eyes back and forth between the vent window on the right and the object in question on the left. Is it the same thing?
