Chaney's motorcycle in Zapruder frame Z-242

[Steve Barber]

Stevie ol chum...I could not care less about the specifics of JFK's hands....You have acknowledged that "the hand is in front of his chin." and the last time I checked, the throat is to the rear of the chin.....

So JFK is reacting to being hit in the photo....But Connolly is NOT......And James Chaney is also reacting to JFK being hit.... He is alongside of the Lincoln and looking over his right shoulder at JFK.

 It's C-o-n-n-A-l-l-y, Walt!  Not "Connolly".  You can't even spell the name of the governor corectly!

 Watch this GIF closely, and note where his hands are. Right hand covers the mouth, the left hand comes up directly under the right, meeting the right hand, left index finger is extended. When Mrs Kennedy takes hold of his arm and pulls his left arm involuntarily (since at the same time, she is turning her head to look at the governor) his left arm and hand remain in the same position until the fatal shot is fired.  The right hand cupped over his mouth until Mrs. Kennedy takes hold of his left arm.  As he turns his head to the left, his right hand opens slightly, and remains at the same height so that by the time he stops turning his head, the right hand is at cheek level, until beings it down, level with his chest.   There is absolutely not one frame of the film showing him "grabbing his throat".   https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/PopularGrotesqueIvorybackedwoodswallow

  The position of JFK's hands ARE in fact, crucial, because we have people like you and others making erroneous claims that his hands "clutched/grabbed/went to" his throat when they didn't!

 As far as your ridiculous claims about Chaney...have at it.  You are making yourself look even more foolish.

And you can't even spell correctly, correctly.

      Walt - The "hands" issue is a diversion. You got 'em on the run with the Officer Chaney position issue. As much as they might like, don't take their detour.

Thanks Royell....But "I" don't have em on the run....  He who controls the sun and the casting of shadows has em running for cover....

KMA   Stevie ol chum...   Yer desperation is hanging out  like the tongue of an exhausted dog....

"I guess it's lens distortion that makes the shadows seem to point more forward than they actually do."

Now it's "lens distortion"......  Ha,ha,ha,  LOL!!


Notice that the shadow of the front upper tip of the Lincoln's right front fender is clearly visible on the surface of Elm street. ( the shadow of the staff of the American flag is to the rear of the shadow of the fender corner. )  Draw a line from that fender corner shadow up to and through the corner of the fender .

Now notice the shadow that is being cast on the surface of Elm street just beyond the left side of the Lincoln's front bumper.....  and draw a line from that shadow that parallels the line you drew previously....

Does that line pass through the left side of the windshield of Chaney's bike?   Yes?....  Then it is the Windshield that is casting that shadow and it should be obvious that Chaney is ALONGSIDE of the Lincoln.

Royell...You can be sure they are soilin their skivies when Craig Lamson sends me messages like this....

The message Mr Lamson sent you was:

So sad.  You are too stupid to even understand how a camera records an image. 

You are a moron.

Take the standard railroad tracks image.  The tracks are the same distance apart.  Yet as the recede towards the distance the appear toget close set together.

The exact same  things happpen to shadows.  It?s photo 101 and you fail.

The shadows don?t lie, you just can?t hear them telling you that you got it wrong.  As usual.


How about someone else informing  Mr Lamson that he's talking about perspective but perspective has ZIP effect  in the case of the shadows of the corner of the Lincoln fender and the shadow of the windshield of Chaney's motorcycle....

Hi Walt. Did you notice the X marking the tip of the motorcycle shadow? (I added a question mark on the diagram to the right because of the uncertainties involved.) Where on the diagram would you place the X? You seem to think it's much closer to the front bumper shadow (A) than it is to the curb (B) in the background, but does it really seem so when you look at the photo?

Hi Mark...The Lincoln was / is.....21 ' 2 " long   by  6' 3" wide....

Based on this known dimension of 6' 3" .....Elm street would be about 38 feet wide ....IOW the street is wide enough for  SIX Lincolns side by side.....

The point being....  I doubt that the street was wide enough for six Lincolns.....So are you sure that your drawing is scaled correctly?  And I don't believe you've laid the red A / B  line at the correct angle....( acctually I don't know how you established that angle for the red line???

The SE corner of the TSBD can be seen behind Chaney's helmet, so It's not difficult to establish his position on Elm Street.
