Let's look at Will Fritz during the Garage Spectacle. Amazingly, he turned around and conspicuously nodded at the trio during the Grand Entrance, which had all the formality of a graduation ceremony. But, why did he nod? What was he signaling? I suspect it was that Bookhout is in place, so be ready.
Then, when the shot went off, Fritz was very slow to react. In this image, a lot has already happened. Oswald, presumably, slapped his arm to his chest, fell forward, veered backward, and then went up on his toes, before then collapsing. The Shooter jumped about 90 degrees to get in front of Oswald after shooting him. And the Penguins have begun their swarm. But, Fritz hasn't even turned around yet. He's got his arms out, but he hasn't turned around. And that is not the reaction to a gunshot. A gunshot is loud, and when you don't expect it, it startles the hell out of you. Note also that the hallmark of the startle reaction isn't the hands going out; it's the tensing of the neck and the hunching of the shoulders, which Fritz is not doing. What he is doing is acting. But, he happened to be a bad actor.
The Garage Spectacle was staged, and they were all acting. But, this collage of Will Fritz is screaming out loud that it was all an act. I'm sure there are plenty of children who could see it. That there are any adults who can't is amazing.
