Even if Oswald had been looking at apartments (and there is zero evidence of such) would he really be in a rush to obtain curtain rods? That is absurd. The lengths those contrarian nuts will go to defend Oswald is laughable. Here we are told by Martin that Oswald could have made a special trip to Irving on Thursday to obtain curtain rods for an apartment he wasn't even living in! When he could have just as easily waited another day to get them per his usual schedule. I honestly can't believe anyone can spin a yarn like that with a straight face. Oswald lied about the contents of his bag either to Frazier or the DPD. Why would he lie to the police unless the contents were incriminatory? If they had been exculpatory, he would have just said that he brought some curtain rods and directed the police to the bag. Frazier could have corroborated that story. Instead we get this outlandish and baseless tale where Oswald is somehow obtaining curtain rods for an apartment he doesn't yet live in and then lying about that to the DPD when it would have helped him to tell the truth. Absurd.

This is what I actually said;
"But maybe he had already found an apartment that would become available a couple of days later. But I don't really believe for a second that the apartment thing had anything to do with him bringing curtain rods (if that's what he brought) for the simply reason that if the curtain rods were indeed for his own use, they would have been found at the TSBD. Speculation is fun but it doesn't get you very far."
How does it feel to have so much egg on your face?
I honestly can't believe anyone can spin a yarn like that with a straight face. You shouldn't be using the word "honestly" as the only one spinning a yarn with a straight face is you!
Instead we get this outlandish and baseless tale where Oswald is somehow obtaining curtain rods for an apartment he doesn't yet live in and then lying about that to the DPD when it would have helped him to tell the truth. Absurd. What is truly absurd is that you can't argue with what really was said, so you make up your own strawman version so you can make a totally bogus comment.
