Re: 166 - Except that’s speculation, at best.
Even the researcher who provided the collage of photos can’t make a definitive claim.
What’s sad and intellectually lazy is the photos are apparently not the originals. They have been cropped. So it’s unknown how they compare to the originals.

What's sad and intellectually lazy is acting ignorant of well known facts. Initially, these are not photos, but frames from news film of the immediate aftermath of the JFK assassination. The camera man is in front of the Texas School Book Depository, which is to the left, and looking at the Dal-Tex building from which a Texas oil man had just been arrested according to a Dallas sheriff. An open window can be seen in the Dal-Tex building which very likely was a sniper's nest. IIRC, this film was saved from the trash by an employee who understood its historical importance. The second frame was published in full, along with a close up of the teen's face who resembles G. W. Bush in the collage. Only the close ups of two other frames were included in the collage to avoid redundancy.

The teen is the only person walking, and is moving away from the camera man without looking directly at the camera. He probably didn't want to be on film.
The other picture in the collage is clearly George W. Bush as cheerleader at his prep high School. I added another picture of him from his sophomore yearbook, (being sold on Ebay if anyone wants to buy it), with the same side profile as the film frames for comparison.
Even the researcher who provided the collage of photos can’t make a definitive claim. The researcher clearly gave his opinion that by comparing the stated profile of the teen and G. W. Bush, that he is Bush. The preppy loafers wouldn't become fashionable in Texas for about another 20 years. The teen is from out of town.
Except that’s speculation, at best. It's a reasoned opinion which was made from limited pictures of the teen Bush. For such a famous man, why are there not more photos of him as a teen? What did his high school jacket look like? We are curious. Did he not have any friends who took photos with him? We would expect that a president was a leader who led other groups and had friends in his youth. Yet, those photos are absent.
People of that generation all remember where they were when they heard that JFK had been shot, much as later generations remember when they heard of 9-11. Why has Bush not been asked about that or the film frames? Since his daughter is in the news business, why has no one asked her? Fear of being accused of promoting a "conspiracy theory" about a murder that 65% of the American public believes was a conspiracy?
