Name your shooter

[Bill Chapman]

 

I'm not as dumb as JohnnyI looks

He'll be driving by soon, demanding proof that Oswald tried to shoot anybody that day, let alone in the TT

[Eddie Haymaker]

I would have thought the TT incident would have 1/2 a dozen witnesses
including the arresting officer
This whole point that "the gun couldn't fire" is irrelevant
even If the gun was not loaded and you tried.
That's attempted murder

I guess I am a CT but I believe in intellect over ideology
facts are facts
LHO was not a lamb in the woods
He did try to kill an innocent man doing his job
not cool

Correction: 3 innocent men trying to do their jobs...

Oswald was a very political person. What was he doing a mile or so away from the scene - near the place in which he worked - where the President of the United States was - perhaps, nobody knew with certainty at the time - shot?

He showed no interest at any time in what happened to JFK. He didn't talk to anyone about it, he didn't inquire with anyway about it, he didn't try to learn anything about it. He left the building within three minutes, he takes a bus, then a cab, goes to his room, grabs some clothing (and apparently a revolver with extra bullets), and leaves. To see a movie? Really?

At no time did he show any curiosity about what happened.

Nobody around the TSBD knew what happened. It was chaos. People said the president was shot but they weren't certain. Was he dead? Did they catch the shooters? Where were the shooters? It was a madhouse.

It is impossible for him to think, "I'm going to be blamed for this." For what? How would he know what happened IF he was indeed having lunch?

He is, for me, clearly fleeing the TSBD. Why?

Although I believe LHO shot and killed JF Kennedy and indeed JD Tipping, today I watched a documentary on Sky, broadcast in the UK, called JFK: The Lost assassination Tapes.

Now we've all seen umpteen documentaries claiming showing unseen material. But one item in this documentary opened up a slight question. At about the half way mark, JFK had been shot etc and they were showing how the odd person had been arrested, a man was arrested and he had claimed he was in the TSBD to make a telephone call. He wore a dark suit, seemed to be about 5'10 or so, quite heavy set guy, and he wore black horn rimmed glasses.

He had a remarkable resemblance to the infamous  Mac Wallace. Has anybody else seen this footage or was this man ever identified. The footage of the man arrested lasted about 10 seconds or so and was never mentioned again.

Trying to find footage on youtube etc.

Oswald's actions after the assassination incriminate him beyond reasonable doubt. He knew he had to get out of there. If he had stayed put the finger would've eventually been pointed at him. He knew he couldn't get the MC out of there and it would be traced to him.

In running and killing JD Tippit he removed any doubt over his guilt. But in actual fact evading arrest wasn't that high a priority for him. The arrest and notoriety was part of his plan. His demeanor on arrest, all his "I'm a patsy" nonsense, his whole persona was of a man not bothered by the arrest. He was loving it.

He's not exactly unusual to be fair, history is littered with lone nuts who have committed all kinds of heinous murders. This one get the exposure because of the victim.

Yep! I'm ignoring all his demands from now on.
