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

So, it was 1966, and Harold Weisberg was making a stink about Lovelady having worn a short-sleeved striped shirt, and all of a sudden a movie shows up purporting to show Lovelady in a long-sleeved plaid shirt.

Harold noticed right away that "Lovelady" had his shirt buttoned to the top, save for the top button. This was in sharp contrast to Doorman, whose shirt was sprawled open. 

Now, the people who try to say that those are the same, that the shirts are configured the same, are simply bloodied. And when they try to say that those two are the same man, physically, sartorially, etc., they are just spewing the blood around. The man on the left is slender. The man on the right is stocky. Gorilla Man is neither a match to Lovelady nor a match to Doorman. Harold Weisberg saw the latter but apparently missed the former.  

And the interpretation of Doorman's shirt pattern as "plaid" as per Gorilla Man's is bluntly obtuse. And Harold Weisberg missed that as well. I don't say it with criticism; only with regret. 

We can also compare Gorilla Man to the Wiegman Doorman because they are supposed to be the same guy as well.

What reason is there to think those two are the same guy? Do we really need to call in a photo expert to tell us that they are different men wearing different clothes?

And, what were the chances that Lovelady would wind up in the Squad room with Oswald in the midst of a media frenzy? What a day for Lovelady. He goes to work that morning expecting to lay flooring on the 6th floor, but the President of the United States gets killed, and he, Lovelady, winds up at the center of the most important happening taking place anywhere on Earth. Don't you think he would have told his wife about it? That Oswald was led right by him at the police station? Wouldn't there be questions? Did he see you? Did he make eye contact with you and stare at you? What was the look on his face? Wouldn't Lovelady have wanted to tell his wife? And Lovelady would have seen all the cameras. He would have had to know that there was a good chance that he was filmed. Supposedly, that footage of Lovelady was shown on television on the day of the assassination or soon thereafter. If Lovelady and his wife didn't see it, isn't it likely that somebody they knew would have? "Billy! I saw you on tv! You were sitting there when they led Oswald by." How could they not know about it? 

And since the controversy about the identity of the Doorway Man started right away, how come others didn't notice? Didn't investigators pour through the films, studying every detail? How come in 1966 when the Gorilla Man clip was discovered for the first time in the DCA compilation (even though that film came out in 1964) the Squad room clip wasn't heralded at the same time?   In this case there is a timeline problem, and it is: why is the timeline so long? How could these films of Lovelady be discovered so late and in such a staggered fashion? Repeat: 

How could these films of Lovelady be discovered so late and in such a staggered fashion?

And, there was never any confirmation from Lovelady or his wife that he appeared in those films. Not in any of them. And it's worse than that. Lovelady was asked directly if he saw Oswald at any time that day after they broke for lunch, and he said no. He said categorically no. What, did he forget? Did it slip his mind? 

Anyone who supports this nonsense should at least have the decency not to pretend to be an Oswald defender. You're not an Oswald defender. You are an Oswald accuser.You are a traitor to Oswald, and to Kennedy as well.
