But, as Senator Yarborough pointed out, LBJ was a big man, and you could say the same of Rufus Youngblood, and the car wasn't all that big. Could the two of them fit back there on the floor? Was it physically possible? Yarborough said it wasn't.
Actually, Youngblood said that after reaching in back and pushing LBJ over, he looked around again, and then he "stepped" over the back seat and "sat" on LBJ.
"Stepped?" The only way he could have stepped was if he was standing on the front seat, and then he could have stepped over the back of it to enter the rear compartment. But, if he was sitting at the time, which he was, then he must have "climbed" over or "crawled" over the back of the front seat, but certainly not "stepped." So, why did he use the word "stepped?" How could Rufus Youngblood not know what he did?
And then once he got back there, why would he "sit" on Johnson? Wouldn't he "lie" on him? Sitting on him would have only sheltered a small part of him. To really protect him, you would stretch yourself out and lie on top of him. Otherwise, a bullet could easily bypass you and hit him. Anyone going about it seriously would definitely lie and not sit.
And, what about the time? Do you recall what Max Holland taught us in 2011? Remember his dog and pony show called The Lost Bullet? Broadcast in November 2011 in time for the 48th remembrance, Max revealed to the world that the first shot came awfully early. He said they were still in the intersection when Oswald fired that first shot. He said that the bullet bounced off the metal frame of the signal light at Houston and Elm and ricocheted the entire length of Dealey Plaza. It was one hell of a bounce. So, they hadn't even gone down the hill yet when the first shot went off.
In that case, why'd Rufus wait so long to react? He heard the first shot. And then he heard the second shot. According to Max Holland, the time span of all the shots was over 11 seconds. If, theoretically, JFK was first hit at Z-223 and then the fatal head shot occurred at Z-313, that's 90 frames and therefore exactly 5 seconds. It would mean that there was over 6 seconds between the first shot that missed and the second shot, which was supposedly the Magic Bullet which traversed both Kennedy and Connally.
Youngblood claimed to react to the very first shot. He never said anything about firecrackers. And being a Secret Service agent, you wouldn't expect him to make that assumption: to think it was only a firecracker. Since the Altgens photo was taken after the second shot, how could Rufus let over 6 seconds go by before starting to react?
If it is Johnson in the Altgens photo, as Robin Unger alleges, then Rufus Youngblood hasn't reacted yet- even though two shots have already gone off, and it has been over 6 seconds since the first one.
Think about how long 6 seconds is: one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, one thousand five, one thousand six. Then think about the time it would have taken for him to turn around and shove LBJ, and then look around again, and then "step" over the back of the seat and "sit" on Johnson. And if he was sitting on Johnson it means his torso was vertical and visible. Shouldn't bystanders have reported seeing Youngblood climb over the seat and perch himself on LBJ? Wouldn't he, Youngblood, have stuck out?
Nothing about this makes sense. Read again what Ralph Yarborough said:
"There is the well-publicized story of Agent Rufus Youngblood, who reportedly threw himself on top of Vice President Johnson after the shooting began in Dealey Plaza. It just didn't happen. It was a small car, Johnson was a big man, tall. His knees were up against his chin as it was. There was no room for that to happen."
