CE 143

[Jerry Freeman]

... Aynesworth wasn’t in the theater at all.

Claims that he was in Dealey at the time of the shots....buzzed out to the Tippit scene in progress....dashed to the theater and saw the arrest....was in the basement witnessing the Ruby shooting and yet---amazingly---- was not ever called as a witness to the Warren Commission or any other inquiry.
Also, there are no pictures of him doing any of that stuff [except one...I believe... showing him in an Oak Cliff neighborhood during a police search]

[Charles Collins]

“Was drawing” is not the same as “pulled out”. In fact, it’s merely an assumption.

And Bentley wasn’t there yet. He was on his way down from the balcony. And Aynesworth wasn’t in the theater at all.

LOL, try explaining that one to Tippit’s family….

And now we have the claim that Aynesworth wasn't there at all. It's called being a reporter. Other people who were there can verify his presence at these events such as fellow reporter Jim Ewell. Did he and they lie too? There are news reports in the Dallas Time Herald Morning News by Aynesworth where he reported on these events including Oswald's arrest. Did he make it all up? It never ends; everything and everyone is corrupt.

Added: Victor Robertson, WFAA radio reporter, rode with Aynesworth and WFAA news photographer Ron Reiland to the Tippit scene:

WC testimony
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long did you remain at the Depository?
Mr. ROBERTSON. Until the call came over the police radio about the officer having been shot.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Then where did you go?
Mr. ROBERTSON. I went out there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who did you go out with?
Mr. ROBERTSON. I drove out with Ron Reiland and Hugh Aynesworth of the Dallas Morning News.

They then followed the police to the theater:
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you arrive [at the theater] before he [Oswald] was actually taken into custody?
Mr. ROBERTSON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you see the police officers doing as you got there?
Mr. ROBERTSON. It was kind of confused. He rose in his seat. and lifted his arm with his pistol just about simultaneously with the time they landed all over him.

Note: "Lifted his arm with the pistol..."

But remember, they're not conspiracy believers, they're just skeptics.

Aynesworth on the right with the police during their search for the killer of Tippit.

[Martin Weidmann]

Hugh Aynesworth, in the theater during the search: from "November 22, 1963: Witness to History":

"Oswald stood up, raised his hands in an apparent gesture of surrender and then socked McDonald in the face with his left first. With his right hand he pulled a .38 Smith & Wesson from his belt...."

And Bentley wasn’t there yet. He was on his way down from the balcony. And Aynesworth wasn’t in the theater at all.

And now we have the claim that Aynesworth wasn't there at all.

Who exactly made the claim that "Aynesworth wasn't there at all"?

[John Iacoletti]

LOL, try explaining that one to Tippit’s family….   

Moral indignation is always such a good argument.   

[John Iacoletti]

I wasn't aware that Aynesworth was actually inside the theater when Oswald was first approached.  If there is any evidence beyond Aynesworth's colorful yarns years later, I'll gladly retract.

“Was arguing” is not the same as “ridiculing”. In fact, it’s merely an assumption.
