Your defense of their pointless study is that they didn't use Bennett?
Roselle and Scearce couldn't use Bennett in their fine study because, although we can see him looking sharply to his right in Z-135, z-136, 137, and (most clearly) in Z-138, and we can see him looking straight ahead by Z-142, and we can see him tilt his head to his right to see around Powers from about Z-144-on, we can't see him in Z-133 or Z-134 due to the sprocket hole, so we don't know if he started looking sharply to his right in response to hearing the first shot or if he was already looking in that direction before the first shot rang out. The important thing is that he started tilting his head to his right to see around Powers to see if JFK was okay around Z-147, i.e., about 1.25 seconds after Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot at "Z-124." The time interval of 1.25 seconds (or slightly shorter) suggests that Bennett was already looking sharply to his right while "scanning the crowd," and that his turning his head and starting to look straight ahead by Z-142 was his conscious (i.e., non-"startle") reaction to the sounds of the first shot.
Post a blow-up of the Z-frame you believe shows Bennett looking round Powers, because I don't see it.
Google "Costella Combined Edit" and go to Z-150 for a pretty clear one.
You're welcome, btw.
I've just read the post where you realised the man you thought was Bennett, tilting his head to look around Powers,
was actually Powers

.
D'ooooooooh!

Your feeble attempt to salvage your beloved study was already piss-poor, and
that was before you realised you were talking about the wrong person!!Even your extreme mentality, must now accept that your 10.2 second nonsense is over.
However, I suspect that the more it falls apart the more you will believe it.
All three men [Landis, Ready and Hickey] state they turned to their right rear as a response to the first shot.
That's what their confused recollections told them to say, but when they say they turned around to the rear, they're obviously referring to what they did in response to the second shot, i.e., the one around Z-222.
Ready, however, gives us a clue that they were all wittingly or unwittingly referring to the second shot when he wrote (as you so kindly posted, above), "I heard what appeared to be firecrackers [plural] going off from my position. I immediately turned to my right rear [after the second "firecracker"] trying to locate the source but was not able to determine the exact location."
"That's what their confused recollections told them to say"Even though each man specifically states that they are responding to the first shot, you know better?
Your extreme mentality allows you to correct the poor confused witnesses. I've no doubt that, in your mind, you really feel like you've done them a favour.
But do you know what, I'm not going to accept your silly interpretation of their statements. Your thoughts about this seem confused.
The first shot was a very loud noise, it's been described as an explosion and ear-shattering. I'm not going to ask why you think the Secret Service agents reacted to the second shot and not the first one because I'm concerned your answer will make you look really foolish.
On the plus side, you are right about one thing - they are reacting to the sound of a shot around z222.
Altgens 6 and the statements of Ready, Landis and Hickey are just one element of many that demonstrate, beyond any shadow of doubt, that they are responding to a first shot around z222.
Do yourself a favour and have a read through "The First Shot" thread.
You do realize, don't you, that Altgens-6 equates to Z-255, 1.80 seconds after JFK and JBC were wounded by Oswald's second bullet, CE-399?
Yes, I do realise that buddy.
It shows their immediate reaction to the very loud, "explosion" of the first shot.
Do you realise that Altgens 6 is taken approximately 6 seconds after the first shot you are proposing?
Do you realise how stupid that makes your proposal look? According to your way of thinking, the three agents didn't react in anyway to this ear-shattering explosion but little Rosemary Willis did!!
The Z-film does not show this movement.
Correct, because by Z-200, i.e., 1.2 seconds before the second shot and 3 seconds before Altgens-6, the pertinent people (your Landis, Ready and Hickey) in the Secret Service follow-up car were no longer in the frame.
D'oh!
Maybe I've been mistaking Powers for Bennett.D'oh!
