Ruthie Paine's Confusing Calendar

[Martin Weidmann]

Why the heck not? Seems like a perfectly logical way to store a rifle in a garage to me.

Really?

Let's see just how logical it actually is. Oswald is supposed to have transported his rifle to New Orleans on public transport, right? I don't think it is very plausible that he did so by wrapping it in a blanket. What do you think? A duffel bag or something similar would seem a far more logical choice, right? You know, the kind of bag that was actually found in Ruth Paine's garage.

So, if we assume that Oswald did in fact not use a blanket but used some kind of bag to transport the rifle to New Orleans, why would it even be remotely logical for him to use a blanket to wrap the rifle in instead of using the duffel bag that was actually amongst the possessions that were stored in Ruth Paine's garage after she collected Marina in New Orleans?

You may feel differently, but the entire blanket thing simply doesn't make much sense to me. Even less so, as a blanket does not offer much guarantee that the rifle won't fall out during the unloading of the car.

And, of course, Oswald's prints were found on the rifle.

Still  , no matter how many times you repeat it.

If there were any doubt, Marina confirmed Oswald's ownership of the rifle,

Still  , no matter how many times you repeat it.

there are photos, serial numbers, and documents that link him to a specific rifle.

Still  , no matter how many times you repeat it.

A duffel bag, Barracks bag,  or sea bag are not long enough to hold a 40 inch long rifle.

I've posted this many times but nobody wants to do a bit of basic research.....

Bags come in all shapes and sizes. But if you are claiming that Oswald did not use a bag of any kind to take a rifle to New Orleans, then please tell me what he did use to conceal the weapon on public transport?

Or are you saying that he never took a rifle to New Orleans in the first place?

Lee Oswald had a standard issue sea bag.  Those bags are not long enough to hold a 40 inch long rifle.

I very seriously doubt that Lee took a rifle to New Orleans when he left Dallas on a bus.  I believe that George De M had taken possession of the carcano before he left Dallas.   I know there's little evidence for that..... But there's also very little evidence that Lee had the carcano among is possessions when he boarded the bus for N.O.

I know that Marina has said that she saw Lee with a rifle in N.O.   But I'm not at all convinced that the rifle she saw in N.O. was the carcano that Lee used to pose for the B.Y. photo.

The Warren apologists will just say that he must have dismantled it.
That rifle must have been taken apart and then reassembled more times than Mr Potatohead
Of course the location of the pistol [remember that?] remains a mystery too. How did it get around?
I guess they'll say he kept it down in his jock strap.
Marina was coerced....anyone with a sliver of a brain can see that.
Dismiss her statements and the Warren gang had no case at all against Oswald.

How was Marina coerced when she directed the police to the blanket expecting the rifle to be found there on Nov. 22 when they very first arrived?  She even indicated that she checked to see if the blanket was there BEFORE the police even arrived.  Good grief.  Oswald was apparently the only person in Dallas not involved in the conspiracy.
