Then went inside with the curtain rods

Mrs. RANDLE. He was carrying a package in a sort of a heavy brown bag, heavier than a grocery bag it looked to me. It was about, if I might measure, about this long, I suppose, and he carried it in his right hand, had the top sort of folded down and had a grip like this, and the bottom, he carried it this way, you know, and it almost touched the ground as he carried it.

27" wouldn't come anywhere near the ground unless he was using it for a pole-vault
34.8" bag comes just above the ground

Chapman unloads his BS with such certainty.  That all depends on how the package was carried.  I suppose Chapman pretends he knows what "carried it this way" means too.

'Like you do' does not cover a heavy rifle, and especially does not cover Oswald's probable intent to reduce the gun bag profile in the 'hood. And beyond.

"Oswald's probable intent".  LOL.

[Bill Chapman]

Pretty sure Oswald's arm wasn't paralyzed and could bend and raise at the elbow. There's your first clue.

Now, can somebody produce a re-enact of Randle's exact view of Oswald as she watched him carry the package. And how long did she watch him and was her observation of him unbroken, continuous, or did she just glance. After all, no reason to study a package unless something gave an onlooker an impression that the carrier of said package was attempting to at least partially conceal it. Not too smart carrying a package that might appear sizable enough to carry a rifle on the day that the POTUS was scheduled to ride around downtown in a freakin' convertible.

"Oswald's probable intent".  LOL.

And possible lane-change into bullshit alley, spurred by Randle, due to the optics of the 'bro being the wheelman who delivered the prime suspect to the killing field.

In Chapman-delusion-land, it's his own personal clown-fest.

Order in the court!

Speak, monkey, speak!

Nah, not the entire forum, just the CT crowd, encamped as they are out there on the far shores of the lunatic fringe.

Twist and turn all you want, but it's her testimony (and that of Buell Frazier) over your speculation to reach a predetermined conclusion.

The fact remains, and anybody who tries it will find out, that a bag of 27" will nearly reach the ground when carried, by a person's of Oswald's height, in the manner described by Randle. A 34.8" simply does not fit.

Oswald could hoist it up. Holding a package the way Randle described didn't rule out bending one's elbow enough to keep 34.8" a little off the ground. And tell us how far away Oswald was when 'she saw him at a distance'.
