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

The Water Man came today, and as he was moving the bottles in, I began thinking about how heavy they are. So, I put one on the scale: 44 pounds. It turns out that that is in the mid-range for a 4 year old, and Joseph Backes told us that the Altgens boy was about 4.

So, I began thinking about the tiny little woman holding the equivalent of one of these water bottles in one arm as she watched the motorcade.

Here you see me doing it by grabbing the handle, but boys don't have handles.

But, since boys don't have handles, I knew I needed to do it without grabbing the handle.

Here I'm leaning back to get the weight on top of me some, which uses gravity to assist, and I'm resting the weight on my upper thigh. Still, these are things that she definitely wasn't doing with that boy. So, I knew I had to do better. 

Now I'm holding it sideways, with the long axis of the bottle parallel with the ground. But, she wasn't doing that with the boy either.

The truth is that she was not holding that boy- unless she was a lot stronger than I am, and I doubt that.

It's time to stop the nonsense. That Woman and Boy were placed into that picture, and that means everything. It is a smoking gun.
