Why Would LHO Choose His Workplace As The Location For Shooting JFK?

[Peter Kleinschmidt]

Oswald was plenty good with a rifle.

But to answer your question ("Why would LHO choose his workplace as the location for shooting JFK?"), maybe because the TSBD was a tall building on the motorcade route, he had access to the building (he worked there), there were boxes to hide behind on the sixth floor, etc?

Gosh, I dunno.

I figured out how Oswald did not hit Walker - because he did not even attempt to. That was an easy answer. People waste too much time on the stuff he was not guilty of, just like the assassination, he never shot at the limo.

Bravo!!, You're right, Peter.... Lee did not try to hit Walker ( If Walker was actually in that room when lee put he bullet through the window)  The whole affair was a hoax to make it appear that Lee had tried to shoot one of Castro's most vocal foes...

"People waste too much time on the stuff he was not guilty of, just like the assassination, he never shot at the limo."

It's definitely NOT a waste of time for the government agents who are assigned to propagate the official tale, as released by the US government in the Warren Report.

What a self serving and  ambiguous statement.....  It's akin to saying that you're plenty good with driving a car so you think you'll enter the Indy 500....

Oswald was rated above average by marine standards which by genpop standards would be excellent

Oswald was trained with an M-1 Garand which is nothing like a bolt action carcano....  Simply because he qualified with an M-1 does not mean he was qualified as anything above a novice with the Carcano....  You may be qualified to operate a Chevrolet as an expert but I doubt that you could drive one lap in a NASCAR Chevy.

Hey Walt, Bill's going to argue Oswald was an avid driver.

Ozzie was considered a rather poor shot by the Marine Corp.

They said so in a letter sent from the Marine Corp commandant to the WC.
