The article says, "Shuttlesworth and C. T. Vivian led a group of around 50 supporters to Downtown's Monson Motor Lodge at about 12:40 PM. ... Described by Branch as "normally a bookish and controlled businessman"— [Brock] locked the doors on the group on their arrival at 12:40 PM ." However, near the end of the article, it says, "Warren notes, too, that due to the distance film had to travel for processing and distribution, for an event to hit the ABC, CBS and NBC six o'clock news bulletins, it had to take place before noon; as the swim-in had taken place just before, it was guaranteed to be headline news that evening." This is contradictory because the article says that the swim-in began after 12:40 PM (it later says, "Seven minutes after the rabbis' arrival at the front door, shouts from the swimming pool drew everyone" -- so that meant that the film was probably not taken before 12:47 PM, or maybe later). And this isn't a time-zone issue; St. Augustine is in the same time zone as New York, where the network news was broadcast from. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:44, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
