If Oswald Was The Assassin, Did He Plan His Escape From The TSBD Very Well?

Thanks for the fantastic analysis of that particular point. trying to visualise it doesn't reveal how much tracking is needed for the Houston shot but the graphics make it clear. I stand corrected on which was the most difficult shot. It'd be good to hear more from you as a lot of the posts on this thread are like the one that precedes yours.
There are still many points about Oswald's behaviour that day which seem confusing - why he ran, why he was carrying ID that tied him to the weapon etc. - and it would be refreshing to hear some sensible views on this and much more.

Hi Dan, thanks for the support, there is no doubt that the shot down Elm was the best shot. As for your other questions all we can do is speculate but his actions post assassination were all a classic indication of flight from the scene of a crime.

What this is, is a classic indication of confirmation bias.

Sure "Iacoletti", whatever it takes, eh?

1. As the Limo turns into Houston the Limo is in the sight for a fraction of a second and recentering after a miss is a pain in the Bahookie.
2. As the Limo travels further down Houston and gets closer to the TSBD, the time for a shot gets progressively less.
3. When the Limo is passing directly by the TSBD, the increased angular velocity is at it's maximum so you can completely forget about the "closest" shot.
4. Which leaves us with the shot as the Limo travels down Elm being the easiest simply because of the incline and the direction of the Limo means that at this angle the Limo stays in the sights the longest and if Oswald misses reacquiring the target is much easier. It's all just simple physics.

Well done graphics as usual John! LHO had time to visualize the different possibilities in his mind while planning and waiting for the motorcade. And his reported dry fire practice on the screened in porch in New Orleans could have given him an idea about these things beforehand. The choice of the S.E. corner window gave him better concealment for shots down Elm Street. And the surprise element is a key for successful ambush. Shots from behind were a good choice for several reasons.

Trying to part Kennedy's hair prematurely (making an attempt with the limo still on Houston) would be tantamount to saying 'Here I am. Come and get me'
