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

This is Gerda Dunkel's gif from the Hughes film which shows that Toni acting out, exuberantly raising her arms to wave as the President passes. But, notice how her arms go up before limo reaches her. She's doing it before he gets there. Plus, she has her mother directly in front of her. What is she seeing? She can't see through her mother's back. So, what is she waving at? 

Then there is the Bell film which was taken at about the same time, and in it, she is just hugging her mother tightly, holding on for dear life. 

It is quite a different behavior, don't you agree? A different behavior and a different affect. Toni is not raising her arms exuberantly, and how could she be when she is clutching her mother? Remember that Toni also raised her arms exuberantly when she was facing Houston Street and the President was passing.

I wish I had a gif of that because it was very exuberant. She really seemed excited. So, that was facing Houston Street and the President was passing her, and she was reacting to seeing him. 

But then, she did it again facing Elm Street when she was snug up against her mother's back and couldn't see a thing?

You can't see her mother, but her mother is there, smack in front of her; directly in front of her on that pedestal. The limo hasn't even turned yet from Houston Street. So, it's not in her view. I circled the front wheel of the limo. So, what is she waving at? 

And then, in the flash of a second, all the exuberance got replaced with this clutching?

Now, at that moment, the limo is actually in front of them. So, this would have been the time to wave. Here's another view:

But, how can Toni see anything through her mother's back? Notice the weird rendering of the mother's leg coming back behind Toni's. There is Toni clutching her mother and staring at her back, surely unable to see a thing. Prior to that, before the limo got there, Toni was waving exuberantly from behind the wall of her mother- at nothing. Now, she's holding on for dear life. And both of them are standing off-center on the pedestal with their feet close to the right edge when the natural inclination of anybody would be to stand in the center. The whole "story" being told here is wrong; terribly wrong; it is not credible.
