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

This is a very provocative image of Clint Hill climbing onto the Presidential limo. It came from Robin Unger's gallery. I would thank Robin for it, except that Robin is helping himself to photos of mine, including personal photos that have nothing to do with the JFK assassination, all for the purpose of mocking me.

So, from now on, your photos are my photos, Robin- get used to it.

I want you to consider  what Clint Hill did. He jumped off of one car and ran to catch up with another car and climbed onto it. What does that tell you about how much the Presidential limo had slowed?

I know he was a Secret Service agent, but he wasn't Usain Bolt. A fast walking speed would be 4 mph, but running, let's say he went 8 mph. I don't think we have any business assigning a faster speed than that. But, he had to be moving faster than the limo in order to catch up with it from behind. And since he caught up with it very quickly, he must have been moving a lot faster than it was. If the limo was going 7 mph, and he was going 8, it would have taken him a lot longer than 2 seconds to close the gap. Judging by how fast he got there, that limo had to be going less than 5.

And look at the picture above. He has one foot on the limo and the other on the ground. Did the camera just happen to catch him at the split-second that both his feet were secured, or was there enough time for him to climb aboard that way with both feet planted? Because, if that limo were pulling away from him at any speed at all, even 10 mph, how long would he have been able to keep that rear foot grounded?

And notice that there is no great amount of blur in the picture. If the car was moving, and he was moving with it, doesn't it seem like there would be more blur to him from the motion?

Senator Yarborough, among others, stated that that limo stopped completely during the shooting. Not just slowed- but stopped completely. Full stop.

Now, I'm not a Secret Service agent, but if you're driving the President, and you realize that someone is shooting at the car, don't you floor it immediately? Will Greer didn't floor it until after JFK received the fatal head shot. It's very troubling.
