It was taken several seconds after the Altgens photo, and if you recall, none of the spectators in the Altgens photo showed any awareness of the tragedy. For them, it was all smiles, waves, and good cheer.
But here, it looks ominous. You've got two women with their hands over their mouths, as if thinking, "Oh My God!" Everyone is looking down the street at Kennedy, and not just looking, but peering.
The one guy on the far left is looking elsewhere. We don't know what he's looking at, but he looks serious too; maybe he heard something. But, Doorman on the far right is looking straight hand, and he seems totally detached, like he's in his own little world.
One apologist tried to say that he had "begun the mourning process for Kennedy" as if he was in some kind of Zen state. Om, om, om. But, that is an example of something that you should not do, that you should never do, which is: to make excuses for these images; to bend, twist, and shape them into something normal when it isn't the case.
Look at the 2nd Wiegman Doorman compared to the Altgens Doorman. Are they the same guy?
Can you see how cherubic the man looks on the left compared to the man on the right who looks gaunt? Can you see how short his neck is compared to the other man? On the left, the man's chin is practically on his chest with no visible neck at all. On the right, you see there is a long expanse of dark neck separating his chin from his chest. And look at the different shirt sprawls. On the left, it's r-shaped, where, for some reason, his collar is collapsed but only on his left side (our right). But, on the right side, you see the v-shaped shirt sprawl for which the Altgens Doorman is famous. THEY'RE DIFFERENT MEN! Don't fight it. Don't rationalize the differences. Don't bend over backwards trying to dismiss them. That's what the bloodied do. If you're not bloodied, don't act bloodied; and don't think like the bloodied.
This 2nd Wiegman Doorman only appears for a very short split-second. I don't know how many frames per second Wiegman's camera shot, but Zapruder's was 18 frames per second. If it was the same, then he appears for no more than 2 or 3 frames. And, he doesn't move or react in any way. He looks as stiff and as straight as a Cigar Store Indian, and that's why I call him the Cigar Store Indian.
He wasn't there. They stuck him in there. And, it's because Oswald left for the lunch room. But, here's what's haunting:
Why did Wiegman swing around to capture the doorway a second time? The action was down Elm Street, right? So, what distracted him? What caught his attention? I figure that maybe there was some commotion in that doorway. Maybe it took some doing to get Oswald to leave. Maybe Wiegman heard something or saw something from the corner of his eye, a disturbance, and that's what triggered his action.
They don't usually show you the whole frame, but here it is. Look how blurry all the figures are to the right of Doorman. And remember: he was fake. He wasn't there. But, why is that corner alone so blurry? Did they make it blurry to hide something? What was going on there? Why is there so much distortion in that part of the image?
