If Oswald Was The Assassin, Did He Plan His Escape From The TSBD Very Well?
Paul May:
History shows us Oswald had no escape plan. In fact, Oswald’s behavior on the day of the event imo shows Oswald never expected to survive the day. Why would he care? He had little left in his life to live for. Study Oswald’s life. It’s a logical conclusion.

What specific "history" that day or any other day are you referring to?
His leaving the dough and the ring at Ruthie's?

Jim Brunsman:
What about the time between the assassination and the encounter with Baker? This is more important, right? In order to believe the lone nut fiction, we have to believe that LHO fired his final shot, hid the rifle, and descended the stairs in time to meet Baker. We have to ignore some cogent eyewitness testimony to believe any of this. Tommy's unfounded speculation that Oswald may have bought the Coke before the assassination to enhance a pre-ordained alibi seems beyond ludicrous. The truth is, there's limited compelling evidence regarding Oswald's movements. Are we also going to call Roger Craig a liar when he reported seeing Oswald coming down the hill on Elm St and entering a Rambler? Why is this ignored? Easy answer: it doesn't fit with a scenario framing Oswald. The selective amnesia of the lone nutters destroys their credibility.

Dear James
How long do you figure it would have taken Oswald to do all of that?
Two minutes?
Five?

1963 was a very difficult year for Oswald. He couldn’t get and hold a job. Marina didn’t want him any longer. He bought weapons. He attempted to kill Walker. The Navy refused his request to over turn his undesirable discharge. He was living alone in a boarding house. His leaving $ and his wedding ring at Marina’s home was what investigators call “consciousness of guilt”; his behavior before and after the crime itself. Oswald had failed at virtually everything he attempted in 1963. At 24 years old, he had little left. He wanted to make an impact....some how, some way. Those who knew Oswald claim he liked JFK on a personal level. I’m not disputing that. Yet, he believed the American government was a blight on the working class and its Cuban policy archaic. Personally, I don’t believe Oswald was shooting at JFK as an individual. He shot the POTUS and all that position represented to the world.
