How Could LHO Walk One Mile After Leaving His Room & Shoot A Cop In 13 Minutes?

So [in that event] any way you slice it... Tippit was pronounced dead before he was ever shot

Helen Markham swore that Tippit was shot at 1:06......

Helen Markham swore that Tippit was shot at 1:06......

Most of the evidence points to Tippit being shot between 1:06 and 1:10.

The only thing that does not compute with those times is the (easily manipulated) DPD radio recording (made on a voice activated machine and thus unreliable for actual times) and the various transcripts of those recordings. And then of course there is the questionable claim that a very elusive time stamp card is supposed to show that the ambulance from a funeral home on Jefferson was called at 1:18. However, that notorious time stamp card is not part of the evidence and in over 50 years has never been produced.

I've been to the rooming house and walked the distance to 10th/Patton on all possible routes and there is no way that Oswald could have gotten there before 1:10.

Who waits at a bus stop for 30 seconds?  If you don't see a bus coming you're not going to see one 30 seconds later either.

But whatever it takes.

Too bad Burroughs said that Oswald slipped into the Texas Theater between 1:00 and 1:07.

Too bad that the Texas Theater is approximately the same distance from Oswald's rooming-house on North Beckley as is the corner of 10th and Patton.

The time constraint for walking to both destinations in the allotted time is impossible?

Depends on how you walk, if you walk....

What does that have to do with anything? I also have walked that route that Mr Weidmann mentioned. I can presume that he also wondered that if Oswald walked to that area...Where in hell was he going?

Martin,

My point is that the CT crowd use the "impossible walking time constraint" argument to say that Oswald cannot be at 10th and Patton to shoot Officer Tippit.

When they invoke the "Butch Burroughs saw LHO at the Texas Theater before 1:15 PM claim" ... they ignore the similar "impossible walking time constraint" factor.

Is it cherry picking or never considering the plausibility/implausibility of a theory based solely on a single witness testimony that conflicts with multiple witnesses testimony... that is the question?

Additionally: Blinded by an irrational need to portray Oswald as innocent of any wrongdoing?

The alternative options to walking: Jogging, sprinting, given a ride part of the way by a citizen (innocent) are never considered.

Same "not enough time" problem.
