Was Lee Oswald the passenger in Whaley's Taxi?

[John Iacoletti]

'he didn't need to worry about he police waiting a the rooming house, because he knew that nobody knew where he was living'

Why take the chance?

What if police came in unmarked cars and were inside waiting for him?  What if police were on their way to the rooming house when Oswald decided to sprint back up Beckley to the rooming house?

Why don't you guys see how colossally stupid this argument is?

[Bill Brown]

I think the desperation is the claim that Whaley's passenger told him to go to the 500 block of North Beckley so that he could check if cops were there.

Since when do cab drivers always take the most direct route?  Besides, Whaley said that he didn't take the most direct route leaving the station because he was timing the lights.

Mr. WHALEY. I turned to the left off Lamar onto Jackson, went one block to Austin, then from Austin I turned to the left again and went one block over to Wood Street.
Now, the reason for that is if you catch this light right at Lamar and Jackson, this other light turns green as you make your turn here and the other one turns green as you make your turn at Wood. You just move through traffic. That was my reason for making the turn.

Explain how that is desperate.

You post something Whaley said about the route he took while still in Dallas and is absolutely unrelated to the obvious route Whaley would take once he was crossing the Houston Street viaduct into Oak Cliff.

Thank you, john.....   The theory is so stupid that even an elementary school kid could understand the absurdity....

Because you don't have any real evidence so you have to make up this "consciousness of guilt" garbage.  It's desperate.

The point was that Whaley didn't always take the most direct route to get where he was going.  Why would you assume that he would?  Why would Oswald (if Oswald was even his passenger)?

Unscrupulous  cabbies have been known to give a sucker a tour....    If the passenger isn't familiar with the area a cabbie will sometimes take the long way to the destination.....Particularly if the passenger is in a hurry to keep an appointment or is running late to catch a plane.....   

Some unscrupulous drivers will promise to get the sucker to his destination if the passenger will pay an added charge. The driver will then take the long way and drive fast to earn the added bonus.

No.

The desperation is calling another's simple opinion "desperate".

You mean like this?

The desperation never ends with you guys.
