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

What in tarnation is Hickey doing?

He's turned around, but you can't sit in the seat turned around. He is not standing in the back of that car. He later claimed to be standing, but he was a big and very tall man, and if he were standing, he would be a lot higher than that. He would be as high as the other standing agents. 

Look at him in Willis below. He would be as tall as the others if he were standing.

That was just a second or two before the Altgens photo. So, what's left? He must be kneeling on the back seat. He's about the right height for that.

But, if he were kneeling, he'd be more upright.

He's got way too much forward lean going on. 

And, he looks way too relaxed there. When you're alarmed about something, your extensor muscles tighten up. He heard gunshots. It was a life or death emergency, right?  

And, he wasn't going to reposition himself. He just had to turn his eyes around, not his whole body. He'd have strained his neck, if necessary, to turn his head, but he was never going to reposition his whole self. Nobody does that. 

That's as much as anybody's going to turn around in response to a noise. No one is going to lift up their whole body and reposition it. You just turn your flippin' head. Do you see his collar there?

It means that we are looking at his back, that he is completely turned around. Like these kids:

And they, at least, had a stiff, high, and nearly vertical back seat to lean against. But, Hickey didn't.

In this image below, he seems to be leaning forward, but what was he leaning against?

Is he supporting himself with his outstretched arms? This is where he was:

So, was he completely turned around, kneeling on the seat, bracing his arms against the seatback? It doesn't look like it in the picture. 

A moment before, he was like this:

I am not buying it. He would have just turned his head. He would have just twisted his head around, but he would not have repositioned, relocated, picked up and moved his whole hulking frame. 

Look, people: it isn't real. He wasn't doing it. 
They must have decided that they wanted to show another doting Secret Service agent looking for the source of the shots. 

And if Hickey was so concerned about what he heard, enough to be doing gymnastics in the back seat, then what about Clint Hill? Was he deaf? He looks totally unphased. Why isn't he reacting to the noise and to Hickey's manuvering? Doesn't he know that there is a commotion going on in the back seat? And the guy behind him is glancing at something, but he doesn't look too worried either. The driver doesn't seem the least bit perturbed. Hickey, alone, hears an explosion and completely reverses his position in the car, and nobody else notices? Nobody else reacts? Just him?  

It's bull. It's fiction. They put that big head image in there. Maybe Hickey was doing something that they didn't want seen. For instance, maybe he was smiling, and they thought it looked inappropriate. So, they put that goofy image in instead. Wahlah! Now, you've got a concerned Secret Service agent doing his job "looking for the source of the shots." 

It is fake, stupid, ridiculous, and it isn't real.
