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

There is a principle involved in holding a child, and it happens subconsciously. And that is: to get the child's weight on top of you- to add it to your own body weight. What that does is distribute the load so that the very strongest muscles you have- the muscles of your lower extremity-can do most of the work.

The way to get the kid's weight on top of you is to LEAN- either backwards or sideways. But this Altgens woman is not leaning at all.

So, if she's holding him, she's doing it without the advantage of piling his weight on top of hers. It would mean that she has her arm underneath him, and with the strength of her one arm alone, she is supporting all his weight. As I've said, she would have to be Superwoman. She simply could not do it. 

But, how is she even grasping him? Even if we assume that her arm is going around him such that it's being covered up by the black woman in front of him, it would have to come around enough that we could see it in front. Right in the area of "dat bone" we should be seeing her arm. But, we don't. I don't know what that bone is, but it's not her arm.  

 
And I assure you that if her arm were the only thing holding that kid up, he would be leaning towards her. He would not be rising up vertically straight as we see him doing. He can only be doing that if he's firmly planted on solid ground.

That woman is NOT holding up that boy. Therefore, how is he so elevated? There was nothing there for him to be standing on. This is a smoking gun.
