My trouble with the Prayer Man analysis is the assumption that PM is one of known group of persons and that he can be identified from that list. Tracy Riddle posted just such a list here at DPF. It seems that LHO makes a pretty good candidate for being PM.
BUT, here is my thought. What happens if PM is not on that list? I read through the long thread over at EF 6 months ago. I can't remember if that possibility has been explored. Absent a positive ID of PM, then assuming that he can be ID'd by the process of elimination is inherently problematic. You can make up whatever narrative you want.
Here's mine. He is not acting the same as most others in the groups of people out front of the TSBD. Strikingly so. He is a spotter whose assignment is to identify individuals in need of attention by "Secret Service" personnel to confiscate film, take names for follow up, etc. He is there as part of the follow up.
No wait. He's a guy who hated JFK and is actually praying that the sob dies. He's just some guy who walked down the street, missed the parade, asked what is going on, and has stopped to pray to God to make things come out all right.
No wait...
In other words, lacking a positive ID, the figure is a blank screen upon which one's imagination runs wild.
What did Magda say about snake oil early in this thread? Just sayin.
Thoughts?
Oh, Jim Di, I hope you get Sean to write this thing up. There's so much spread out all over on this one.
