On The Trail Of Delusion

[Bill Chapman]

That's why Richard Smith's claim that Oswald was "never humorous" is absolutely ridiculous because even the most serious person is capable of cracking a joke.

Good point you made about people possibly not coming forward. Oswald knew people during his lifetime so we have no idea how he acted around certain individuals on a daily basis besides his co-workers that really didn't know him to make an accurate assessment of his personality.

And it's a known fact that people act completely different in a work environment than when they are around their closest friends.       

Actually he did act differently that day

1) He 'reached out' to Kennedy while at a distance
2) He got 'up-close & personal' with Tippit

What a guy! 

Try as you OAKers may, you'll never humanize the cold-blooded little cockroach
No sane person gives a rat's arse about Oswald's alleged 'personality' beyond what ultimate effect in had on Kennedy & Tippit

[Richard Smith]

The point is Richard, you never knew Lee Harvey Oswald personally to know what kind of personality the man had. But you make absolute statements regarding his personality pretending you know everything about him when you never even met him. That is why you are wrong because you have no idea how he interacted with people during his lifetime.

Again, very silly.  Particularly coming from you.  You have made thousands of posts about Trump and the kind of "personality"" that he has on this forum.  Have you met him?  According to your bizarre logic maybe he is a warm and fuzzy guy in private and you should refrain from comment about him.   Again, though, what point is it that you are trying to make in this context?  Can you focus?  Are you suggesting that perhaps Oswald wrote "Hunter of Fascists.  HA HA HA" on the BY photo because he thought of himself as being humorous in that picture?  The one that depicts him holding the rifle he intended to kill someone with just a few days later.

Richard is stuck in the same loop..... So funny!

Oh well, two can play that game......

Are you really suggesting that someone must "hang out" with an historical figure to form any opinion about them?  Do you hang out with President Trump?  That hasn't deterred you from posting thousands of rambling posts about him. 

What a pathetic comparison. Oswald was a private individual who was not the center of attention on a 24/7 basis. Trump, on the other hand, was and to compare the two is just idiotic.

Oswald is not a "private" individual."  He is an historical figure who assassinated the President.  There have been thousands of books, millions of pages, movies/documentaries and several investigations into him and his background/motivations for assassinating JFK.  Many more books and investigations exist relating to Oswald than even a person like Trump.  But Rick's silly point is that it is impossible to reach any conclusion about an individual's private persona unless you know them in person.   And you are apparently not bright enough to realize that the point being made is one supportive of the conclusion that Oswald did not write the "Hunter of Fascist" notation on the BY photo.  A point that you agree with.  You are so fixated on playing the contrarian that you are even interjecting your endless nonsense into this discussion.  How about applying this contrarian mantra to some of Stone's long debunked conspiracies theories?

Good one Bill.  Careful or he might challenge you to a debate!

BS. He only became an historical figure after the assassination. Prior to that he was just an unknown guy.

There have been thousands of books, millions of pages, movies/documentaries and several investigations into him

And they were all written after the fact and are filled by all sorts of speculative opinions of individuals who never met Oswald or only vaguely knew him.

Many more books and investigations exist relating to Oswald than even a person like Trump.

The difference being that the books about Oswald were all written after his death, over a period of half a decade. As far as Trump goes; he is and has been on all sorts of media outlets 24/7. To not understand what kind of a person Trump is, you need to be blind, deaf and ignorant.

But Rick's silly point is that it is impossible to reach any conclusion about an individual's private persona unless you know them in person.

Oh, you can reach a conclusion about anybody, but the likelihood of it being a wrong conclusion increases substantially when you rely on the opinions of others and have never met the person involved.

What is silly is that you compare Oswald who was a private individual to Trump who is a public figure and media freak!

And you are apparently not bright enough to realize that the point being made is one supportive of the conclusion that Oswald did not write the "Hunter of Fascist" notation on the BY photo.

More BS... The "Hunter of Fascist" text was most certainly not written by Oswald. That's a known fact.

To use that finding to support a claim that Oswald was not a humorous person is simply pathetic. You also did not write that text. Does that make you not a humorous person? Of course not.

Hi Sean, I've not seen the documentary yet, but would like to know what the differences are between the rifle in the BYP and the one found on the 6th floor.
A few members of this forum have made this point but when asked for details they have disappeared.
Demonstrating they are different rifles is a point of great importance.

Stone claims that the leather strap on the rifle seen in the backyard photos is attached to the bottom of the stock, whereas the one removed from the Depository is attached to the left side of the stock. He also noticed that Lee's wedding or Marine Corps ring is on his right hand in some photos, and on the left in another.
