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

 I watched this again, and I noted that the shot doesn't go off until the 29 second mark. And since NOBODY reacted to the Shooter until AFTER the shot went off, it's fair to say that the melee' doesn't start until then. And how long does it last? 12 seconds. By the 41 second mark, it's over. Both Oswald and the Shooter are gone. They are inside. And, all the principals who were engaging with them are also inside. Graves, Leavelle, Fritz, Combest, Lowery, etc.- they are all gone.

But, that's a hell of a lot to happen in just 12 seconds.
Consider Oswald. He was, supposedly, on the ground, unconscious and fatally bleeding internally. Supposedly, Leavelle and another man picked him and carried him inside. Strangely, when asked who the other man was who helped him carry Oswald, Leavelle said he couldn't remember. But, it would have been very difficult. For one thing, Leavelle was, supposedly, handcuffed to Oswald, which meant that his left wrist and Oswald's right wrist were only an inch apart. It meant that wherever Leavelle moved his left wrist, he had to take Oswald's right wrist with him.

If you're going to carry a man, you have to support his weight, which means that you have to get your hand and arm underneath him. But, how much underneath him could Leavelle go when Oswald's right wrist had to come too? This is how Leavelle did it in the movie RUBY AND OSWALD.

But, is it even possible if you're handcuffed to him? I don't think so. You couldn't take Oswald's wrist that far without hurting him. It couldn't have been done that way on 11/24/63. Oswald had collasped and was lying flat on the ground.

So, how could they have gone from that to this? THE SENSIBLE THING WOULD HAVE BEEN TO REMOVE THE HANDCUFFS, AND THEN LIFT HIM. And if Leavelle didn't realize that before he started, he surely would have come to realize it. And he would have stopped; removed the cuffs; and then continued. And remember that he was supposedly working with the other guy. So, what would they have done? They would have started by talking about it. "So, how do you want to do this?" "Look, I'll grab him here; you grab him there, and we'll lift on the count of three." Something like that.

They would have had two objectives: first, to move Oswald without traumatizing him further and causing him to bleed more, and second, to do it without causing him more pain. So, they needed a plan. They needed to think it through. And it was not something they could do instantly. And once they lifted him and started moving with him, others would have gotten out of their way, held the door open, etc. So, it would have affected the whole movement of men in that space.

Meanshile, you had the other group of men who were wrestling with "Ruby." What was the antagonism between them and "Ruby" supposed to be? Was he supposed to be resisting them? If so, then why did he dive into their arms? And how did they know what they were doing? They took him in through the corner door, but how did they know that? Did someone yell, "Let's take him in through the corner door!" We didn't hear that, or see that, so we can't assume it. We're left with no one saying anything, yet everyone knowing that that's what they were doing.

So, there were these two separate and distinct processes going on: the penguin dance of getting "Ruby" inside through the corner door, and the carrying of Oswald into the Jail Office, presumably through the double doors, done by Leavelle and an another man, whom he couldn't remember, picking up Oswald, without first removoing the handcuffs, and that trio of men moving like one object in the midst of other men, who presumably got out of the way and opened a path for them. Now, we didn't get to see either of those processes. All we got to see was pandemonium. But the question is: WAS IT POSSIBLE TO DO ALL THAT IN 12 SECONDS?

I tell you no. I tell you that it would have taken Leavelle and the man he forgot most of that 12 seconds just to decide how they were going to lift and carry Oswald. The idea that they could get it done (figuring out how to do it and then doing it) within 12 seconds is preposterous. So, watch it again and remember that the clock starts ticking when the shot goes off. And remember that for the first few seconds Leavelle devotes himself to struggling with "Ruby." He grabs him by the nape of the neck. He doesn't finish his involvement with that until the 33 second mark. So, that leaves 8 seconds until it's all over.

So, how could it go from Leavelle standing over Oswald's unconscious body, handcuffed to him, to him and another man getting Oswald inside in 8 seconds?

Are you starting to see now how untenable the story is? Watch it again with that in mind.
