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

[Bill Chapman]

I think Oswald might well have been considering taking a pass on the whole idea that morning. Being downstairs that close to the arrival of the motorcade (if true) might be a sign that he was thinking of his kids and what he would be missing.

Subjunctive mood.

Are you suggesting that Oswald would have had to wait for the first shot in order to realize that the gig jig would be up?
That's what it sounds like it: ["Once the first shot rang out the shooter would logically assume the gig to be up"]

"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'". At that point would the jig me up? When ever the first shot rang out. Agree?

After the second shot we can see multiple agents looking back to determine the precise direction of the assassin but still not one of the agents appears to be looking up.

I agree and not one of them claimed that they looked up. If they did look up at the correct window, the boxes in the window would tend to conceal most of the shooter. But several bystanders did say that they looked up and saw the rifle and some saw the shooter.

All very well in hindsight. The discussion was what a potential assassin might logically believe before the first shot was fired.

I don't know where you are trying to go with this but an assassin would logically believe that however many shots were fired, he would want to get the job done and Oswald got the job done.
