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

No. I'm not wasting any time on your bull shit. Shelley wasn't in any trouble for saying that he didn't see Oswald (even though he lied because Shelley definitely saw Oswald in the doorway). And that's because Oswald was dead. And the WC didn't want to hear that Shelley gave Oswald permission to leave. They wanted it to be that Oswald, the murderer, fled the scene of the crime. 

There is NO DOUBT that the trek to the tracks took place, and you only have to read the testimony. It's way too detailed and lumbering and laborious to be anything but true. NOBODY BUT NOBODY could have made up testimony like this:

Mr. BALL - How did you happen to turn around and see Truly and the policeman go into the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - Somebody hollered and I looked.
Mr. BALL - You turned around and looked?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes.
Mr. BALL - After you ran to the railroad tracks you came back and went in the back door of the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - Right.
Mr. BALL - Did you go in through the docks, the wide open door or did you go in the ordinary Small door?
Mr. LOVELADY - You know where we park our trucks--that door; we have a little door.
Mr. BALL - That is where you went in, that little door?
Mr. LOVELADY - That's right.
Mr. BALL - That would be the north end of the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - That would be the west end, wouldn't it?
Mr. BALL - Is it the one right off Houston Street?
Mr. LOVELADY - No; you are thinking about another dock.
Mr. BALL - I am?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes; we have two.
Mr. BALL - Do you have a dock on the west side and one on the north side of the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - East, and well, it would be east and west but you enter it from the south side.
Mr. BALL - Now, the south side---
Mr. LOVELADY - Elm Street is that little dead-end street.
Mr. BALL - That's south.
Mr. LOVELADY - I drive my truck here (indicating) but we came in from this direction; that would have to be west.
Mr. BALL - You came into the building from the west side?
Mr. LOVELADY - Right.
Mr. BALL - Where did you go into the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - Through that, those raised-up doors.
Mr. BALL - Through the raised-up doors?
Mr. LOVELADY - Through that double door that we in the morning when we get there we raised. There's a fire door and they have two wooden doors between it.
Mr. BALL - You came in through the first floor?
Mr. LOVELADY - Right.

Nobody could make that up, and nobody would even try. That exchange really happened, and at the time, Lovelady was being truthful. Lovelady didn't start lying until May 1964. That was the first time that he ever claimed to be Doorman, and it was in an interview with Jones Harris outside the TSBD. It was a month after his disastrous WC testimony in which Joseph Ball was so fearful, so in dread of what he might say, that he didn't even ask him if he was Doorman or who Doorman was. Instead, he just sheepishly and fearfully asked him to draw an arrow to himself in the picture.

That is NOT a normal behavior. If you want to know who someone is in a picture, and you think someone may know, you ASK the person, point-blank. "Hey! Who's he?" It's what Ball did with Frazier. It's what Ball did with Arce. So, why didn't he do it with Lovelady? It's because he must have been warned that Lovelady was resisting; Lovelady was balking; Lovelady was not going along. But Lovelady, determined at that point NOT to lie, tried to let him down easy by never saying out loud what he was trying to communicate (Hey, that wasn't me) and also drawing his arrow very, very small. 

Lovelady saw the size of Frazier's arrow. So, why didn't he make his the same size. It was a reasonable size, so why didn't he take a cue from it?

It's because he knew that he wasn't giving Joseph Ball what he wanted. Joseph Ball was like the 800 pound gorilla, and you don't piss off King Kong any more than necessary. He was trying to gently tell him, "Look, Man. That wasn't me. I wasn't Doorman. I don't want to make trouble for you guys, but I just want you to leave me out of it." Of course, he didn't get his wish. 

And here's another glaring point: Oswald left early. According to the Warren Commission, Oswald left for home at 12:33. It may have been more like 12:34, but even so, it hardly matters. But, if Shelley was still out there when Oswald left for home, then Lovelady was still out there when Oswald left for home. That means that if Oswald saw Shelley, then Oswald saw Lovelady, and vice versa. And in that case, Lovelady LIED TWICE.

Ball: Did you EVER see Oswald again THAT DAY (after breaking for lunch)?
Lovelady: No.

But, Lovelady was NOT lying. He was not out in front when Oswald left for home (nor was Shelley). And, he never saw Oswald at the Dallas PD, the whole walk-by in the squad room being nothing but an elaborate concoction and an outright fraud. 

And while we're at it, I asked B Pete if this guy looks to be 26.

But, B Pete didn't answer, and that's because he didn't want to say that he looks 26 (which is ridiculous), but he didn't want to deny it either since that would prove he wasn't Lovelady.

Do you think the man on the left looks 3 months OLDER than the man on the right? OLDER? Of course not! Nobody could possibly think that. The man on the right looks MUCH older. One of the things that happens to people as they get older is that their weight settles. They get more lumpen and sunken and compressed. They lose their uprightness. The guy on the right looks middle-aged. He's got a middle-aged spread. You can see how his weight is all settling in his mid-section. That's what happens to people. He is NOT a young man. He is a middle-aged guy. He isn't 26. He isn't Billy Lovelady. It's all just bull shit, done by the people who killed the Native Americans and killed Kennedy and have been lying about it ever since.
