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

As I've said, bpete is definitely not Craig Lamson. You see, Lamson rationalized the notched t-shirt by saying that a perfect v-shaped neck shadow created the optical illusion of a notched t-shirt, where a crescent-shaped portion of white t-shirt got completely obscured to black by shadow. So, this was what was really there, according to Lamson.

Do you have any idea how many of those bozos were making that argument on the forums? Lancer, Amason, EF, etc.  I think it included Unger, and it definitely included Backes. 

But, bpete doesn't want to go that route, and I can't say I blame him. It was a stupid argument then, and it is a stupid argument now. 

So instead, bpete is claiming that Oswald's t-shirt got notched because of the struggle at the theater where it got ripped. He shows the shirt from behind, and he thinks it proves something.

This only proves our point because if the t-shirt was stretched enough to hang down over the shoulder, then that margin was stretched to where it could hang down in front. 

However, Oswald's t-shirt did not get the way it was from a sudden force as in a fight. That would just tear it. It got that way from a gradual, low-level force as with his habit of tugging on it. Sudden, vigorous stretch and it tears; regular, controlled, steady stretch and it just deforms without overtly tearing. 

Oswald's t-shirt wasn't torn; it was stretched. Look at it again.

Certainly for what we are talking about- the area around the margin in front- it was not torn. It was stretched to where there was more give there than what it originally had, and at times that extra give, that extra leeway, would result in a vee-ish descent of the front margin.  

It seems that bpete is trying to claim that all the damage to the t-shirt resulted from the day's altercation (post-doorway) and that prior to that, it was a perfect crewneck t-shirt. Wrong! You dumb, chit-for-brains pluck! Anything as violent as that would have torn the t-shirt overtly not stretched like we're seeing.

Besides, what evidence is there that the t-shirt was involved in the altercation? Where are you getting that from? The same place that Joseph Backes stores his proscenium arches? Was there a police report that said "I yanked on his t-shirt"? Even the image below implies no force applied to the margin of the t-shirt.

 We have two witnesses, Judyth Baker and Anthony Botelho, who maintain that Oswald had the habit of tugging on his t-shirts, and that his t-shirts often looked like what we see on the Doorway Man. They also both maintain that he was the Doorway Man. 

So, we have gone from a fictitious neck shadow that the lying dis-info community clung too for months (years actually) and now bpete has moved on to a fictitious tear that he thinks accounts for the notch in Oswald's t-shirt post-arrest. It is ridiculous; it is stupid; and it is false. Oswald's t-shirt was stretched but intact. 

  That wavy contour that you see at the lowest point in the margin was the result of a habitual force that was applied over time. It was a gradual process that stretched, deformed the t-shirt without tearing it abruptly. It pre-existed the fight in the theater. You, bpete, are a lying duncan drunken fool. And this new gambit of yours is not going to work any better than the stupid neck shadow gambit. And my prediction is that it won't last as long.
