Meh. I'm skeptical but I'll give it a read.

Ok, but did he kill the fish? There are eyewitnesses.

Margaret,

If the fish flopped backwards, it means it was caught from the front, and that the whole tragic event was, therefore, yet another evil, evil, evil CIA conspiracy!

Ok, but did he kill the fish? There are eyewitnesses.

The fish were the primary witnesses, but fish don't have eyelids so their eyeballs fried like eggs. They were all schooled as patsies. So much for safety in numbers. Little darling Lee got a weird vibe, dropped his rod, and promptly exited the area... missing the forest for the trees, not caring what anyone else thought or said.

How many fish did he kill and what was the timing between each catch?

 

[Richard Smith]

I don't believe Oswald was a "sadist" in the traditional sense.  A sadist is someone who takes pleasure from inflicting pain.  The infliction of pain is the objective.  Oswald definitely had a screw loose but his behavior was more consistent with that of a sociopath.  Someone who is completely lacking in empathy and has egotistical traits.  That enabled Oswald to lie or commit murder without any feeling of remorse when he felt it suited his needs.  The pain he inflicted in others was a byproduct of his lack of empathy and ego.

[John Iacoletti]

Yeah, cruelty to fish is a new one to me too. 

It’s somehow less cruel if you eat them afterwards?

[Margaret Kelly]

Oswald may have been venting some internal anger by allowing the fish to die on the bank like that.
