CORY SANTOS SAID:
Do you agree or disagree that DCM [Dark Complected Man] sits down on the curb, puts a radio up to his face and turns towards the grassy knoll.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I can't fully agree with that statement re: DCM, because we don't know for a fact that DCM was carrying any "radio" with him at all. You're just guessing. (CTers do a lot of that, I've noticed.)
CORY SANTOS SAID:
You agree DCM sits on the curb?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes.
CORY SANTOS SAID:
You agree DCM looks towards the grassy knoll?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes. But, so what? A lot of people were looking (and running) toward the Grassy Knoll at that time. DCM was merely watching the various people run up the slope.
You actually think that because DCM merely LOOKED toward the Grassy Knoll, that fact signifies something "conspiratorial" on his part? If so, you're really desperate to grasp any straw you can find, aren't you?
CORY SANTOS SAID:
Do you agree he has something up to his face?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Not necessarily. The thing you think he's got up to his mouth might just be part of the person standing to his right-rear. I can't tell. The picture's not clear enough. (See the photo montage below.) But I doubt that he's holding anything at all. He certainly has nothing in his right hand in the clearer picture just to the right of the fuzzier one. And those photos seem to have been taken at almost an identical point in time. Take note of the position of DCM's left hand and arm in both images. The position of that arm looks exactly the same to me.
CORY SANTOS SAID:
Do you agree this thing appears to have an antenna?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Very hard to tell. The thing you think is an antenna could easily be something else or a photo anomaly. I can see the same type of "straight white line" formed on the back of the uniform of the motorcycle cop in the very same image. What do you think caused that white line? It's certainly not an antenna on the policeman's back.
But let me ask you this:
Are you really suggesting that Mr. Dark Complected Man was part of some assassination plot, and he just casually and calmly decided to get on his walkie-talkie and radio in a message of some kind to his co-plotters within seconds of the shooting --- right out in the open where he knew he was being photographed and filmed?
Talk about some large-sized gonads! Mr. DCM sure had those, didn't he?
Bottom Line:
All the suspicions about "DCM" and "Umbrella Man" and "Black Dog Man" and (a newer one) "Tan Jacket Man" are nothing more than that --- unsupportable "suspicions" by conspiracy believers who are looking for conspirators behind every bush and retaining wall and oak tree in Dealey Plaza—and even right out in the open on Elm Street with open umbrellas and walkie-talkies while being filmed performing their conspiratorial work. It's just plain (dare I say it again?)——silly.
