ROBERT HARRIS SAID:
>>> "You know very well that you argued that the reason for the reactions following 285 was Greer slowing the limo. Are you really going to deny that?" <<<
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes, I am going to deny it (until you can provide a source link that
shows me saying it), because I honestly don't ever recall saying any
such thing.
And I definitely DO recall arguing AGAINST such reactions when
discussing why JFK's head moves forward between Zapruder frames 312
and 313. Tony Marsh and others are silly enough to think that JFK's
forward head snap at the exact instant he's hit in the head was merely
an in-unison movement forward that is the same as all of the other
limo occupants. And here's a 2008 post of mine arguing against such
nonsense:
"The limo isn't slowing down "suddenly". It's "slowing" a little
more, yes...but the car's only moving at 11.2 MPH (approx.) even
BEFORE the slowdown begins. You think everyone is going to be JERKED
forward by going from 11 MPH to 6 or 7 or 8 MPH?? Get real. The car
was crawling at a snail's pace the whole time, right from the Houston/
Elm turn. And the other occupants are NOT moving forward with a sudden
JERK like JFK's head does between 312 and 313. If you believe they
are, you're dreaming. (Or "inventing".)" -- DVP; June 7, 2008

And here's another post from 2009 on the same subject:
"Oh, sure.....that massive and violent "slow down" from 11.2 MPH
(approx.) to 8 MPH (approx.) was enough to practically throw every
limo occupant through the windshield, I'm sure! It's a wonder
everybody in the car wasn't killed as a result of Bill Greer's sudden
11 MPH to 8 MPH braking action! I ask -- Can CTers GET much sillier
than this with respect to their incredibly-inane attempts to avoid the
obvious?" -- DVP; April 3, 2009

I also vividly recall ridiculing your Z285 theory on the basis of my
opinion about Jackie and Nellie (in unison) moving in toward their
shot-up husbands (see the 2009 quote below). They just happened to
move in the same manner at the same time--to focus attention (quite
naturally) on their respective husbands.
But I do not think I ever said that the Greer slowdown was causing
ANYONE in the limo to pitch forward (or to "react" to the slowing of
the car at all).
But you, Bob Harris, are now saying that I have supported such a
theory in my past Internet posts?
Please cite me saying any such thing. Maybe you've got your "LNers"
mixed up.
2009 post re: Nellie & Jackie "leaning in":
"For one (very big!) thing, the limo occupants' "reactions" that
you attribute to a gunshot are not SHARP or SUDDEN or JERKY in any way
whatsoever. The "reactions" (i.e., movements) are perfectly SMOOTH and
NON-JERKY (unlike John Connally's head snap to his right after he
heard the first shot at circa Z160). When watching Nellie and Jackie
"leaning in" toward their husbands, they are SMOOTHLY leaning in
toward each man. There's nothing unusual or out of the ordinary about
Nellie's and Jackie's movements at all. In short -- There's nothing at
all on the Z-Film that could possibly prove that a shot was fired at
circa Z285. But that won't stop Robert Harris from imagining that he
has discovered proof-positive of just such a gunshot." -- DVP;

And here's a post I wrote from a few years earlier, in 2006:
"The reactions you (Robert) equate to a gunshot are MUCH more in
line with the two women tending to their shot-up husbands and leaning
in toward them out of concern. Surely you must realize this too. Don't
you think that is even REMOTELY more probable, Bob? Or do you think
there was no "concern" for JFK & JBC being displayed at all by Jackie
and Nellie during the Z-frames you equate to "ducking" from a Z285
gunshot? Are you really saying the ONLY thing making the ladies "lean
in" is hearing a 285 shot? They might not have been leaning in ANYWAY
while in the process of trying to help their husbands? That's not even
possible in your "Z285" mind?" -- DVP; June 29, 2006
