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

[John Iacoletti]

I suggested 30 secs at the bus stop which JI seems to think is way too long.

And yet, there he was hanging out at the bus stop..

Mrs. ROBERTS. He wasn't running, but he was walking pretty fast---he was all but running.

Hanging out at the bus stop, chewing the fat with the locals and enjoying the comfort of a pistol under his belt. Happy days in Dallas.

It was your attempt to show that Oswald would have struggled to get to the Tippet shooting in time.

You said:

Let's say, for argument's sake, two minutes. That would have him leaving the bus stop at 1.05 (in the timeline of the OP) and gives him exactly 11 minutes to get to 10th Patton to shoot Tippit at 1.16 pm after having talked to him!

But wait, didn't Dale Myers argue that Tippit was really shot at 1.14.30 ?

No such attempt needed. The time line, as it is, does that all by itself. It's those who, for some reason, desperately want Oswald to be the shooter that are struggling to make their case, which is (and has been for years) falling apart left, right and center.

Mrs Markham swore that JD Tippitt was shot at 1:06.....Several witnesses verified that Helen Markham's was correct about the time of the shooting of JD Tippitt...

LOL.  You're not helping your own case.

I don't think we can make a judgement about what someone in Oswald's situation would do based on our own experiences. Who knows what was going through his head.

Agreed... now, how do we explain this to the LNs?

I think it's the CTs that need to take his state of mind into account.

Indeed.

OK I'll park that comment with your other comment on the OUT FRONT WITH BILL thread

You said

Bledsoe did not see Oswald on the bus. Deal with it.

Did you ever produce the evidence for that? I look forward to seeing it.
