What would you write on that plaque?

"Here is where J.D. Tippit allegedly died. Some say he was badgeman on the grassy knoll. Some say he set up Oswald as a patsy for the JFK assassination".

I was thinking that too. Describing speculative alternatives would be rather convoluted and confusing.

It seems drama queens think alike...

How about; "Here is where J.D. Tippit died. He was allegedly shot by Lee Harvey Oswald"

Why does it have to say anything about Oswald?  Isn't the purpose of the plaque to honor Tippit, killed in the line of duty?  But if it does, it could say "allegedly" like the TSBD and not reiterate a litany of Dale Myers' assumptions about what happened afterwards.

No need to mention Oswald

'Tippit was gunned down by Mystery Guest #2;
AKA the nobody who allegedly shot the somebody'

Our resident kooks should stop wasting their time crying here and petition Oak Cliff to change the sign.  They can provide their contrarian reasons for doing so such as "LOL."  I can't wait to hear the response of the folks in Texas including law enforcement when these nut jobs start defaming Tippit with bizarre claims like he was involved in the plot and gunning for Oswald etc.  Contrarian kooks of the world unite behind this important cause!

Strawman "Smith" is back for another round of his kooky time-wasting crying.

P.S. "Oak Cliff" didn't erect the sign.

How about.....On this spot DPD Officer J.D. Tippit was murdered at 1:06 pm  on 11/22/63.   The murder set off one of the most improbable and  unbelievable legends in the history of the Unites States.  This legend has taken root in history, but it will someday be exposed as a wild Texas tale like the legend of Billy the Kid, or Bonnie and Clyde
