Why Was Oswald Killed?

[Bill Chapman]

Perhaps a theatre full of people and “I am not resisting arrest”?

You must know the number of seats and the number of patrons & cops, in addition to the shoe-store salesman, handlers (sarcasm) and the funny-haha/funny-strange dude to be able to deem the TT as being 'full of people'

And Oswald sure had a novel way of demonstrating his non-resistance.

Bill, very interesting. Maybe Ruby had seen too many movies. In the Army we were taught to aim at the upper torso to hit the heart or lungs. Maybe in the excitement of the moment, Ruby lost concentration.

He knew a number of cops and reporters and surely wouldn't want to hit anyone else.. Hard to hit the mark with a handgun anyway Better to 'reach out and touch someone' 

What with the Tippit thing... and now this, 'Up close and personal' seems to have been trending..

Why didn't he do it here?



Or here?



Countless examples of above. Anyone could've killed Oswald on Friday, easily. 3 or 4 bullets in the head. But "they" wait until hes been interrogated for 48 hours, possibly spilling the beans, and then decide to bungle a hit on Sunday? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Well, you see John, I do actually possess an uncanny ability...it's called common sense. Seriously, do you really believe if the Mafia were involved in such an important 'hit' they'd give the job to an amateur armed with an inadequate weapon?

So you're just speculating then?  I could just as easily speculate that Mafia hitmen were independent contractors who supplied their own weapons.  Not a particularly useful exercise....

Exactly which part of the WR are you referring to John?

Specifically pages 18-25 ("Conclusions").  It's a fantasy narrative that is not supported by the evidence provided in the hearing and exhibits.  It should be titled, "Conjectures and Speculations" (or "common sense" if you prefer).

There's nothing wrong with speculating John, that's exactly what discussion/debating forums are all about. It often seems that somewhere in the mind of John Iacoletti this forum is a courtroom and you're Oswald's defence lawyer. Now, I'm truly sorry to destroy your illusions but, the fact is, it isn't and you're not. You need to stop playing games with yourself John and come back down to Earth. Did you once have the ambition to be a lawyer? Is that the problem?
Well, you've done half of what I requested and specified what part of the WR you believe to be an “ingenious imaginary scenario“ thanks for that. Now when will you fulfil the second half of my request and prove it...unless you're just speculating of course.

Jack  Ruby was hardly an 'amateur' and by all means a snub nose .38 will kill you...it happens every day.
