What Was Oswald Thinking After Firing The Shots?

[Bill Brown]

   It is possible that Oswald took his shirt off and laid it on a box or on the floor, and then put it back on in order to alter his apparel immediately following the shooting. But, this would indicate premeditation on his part and therefore Not explain his leaving behind a murder weapon that traced directly back to him.   

Oswald had to leave the weapon behind.  He couldn't carry it out of the building, could he?  Come on now.

Never thought he'd leave the building alive and made it up as he went along.

That's always been my belief. Realistically, what WOULD have been the likelihood of Oswald walking out of the TSBD and hopping a bus? Yes, it happened -but how incredibly unlikely was it? Add in the sixth floor being conveniently empty and the lunchroom encounter going as it did, and you're definitely in the realm of truth being stranger than fiction. I believe the JFKA was the act of a guy who thought his life was over and had zero plan for anything after pulling the trigger. If he'd had a plan, there were other locations for the shooting that would have given him a far better chance of escape.

Another thing to keep in mind re: Oswald making it out of the building...

The simple fact that Oswald did indeed make it out of the building should tell all of us that there was no conspiracy involving him as a patsy.  If he were a patsy, he would have been killed before ever making it out, much less be allowed to wander the streets jumping on busses and in taxis.

 Officer Baker quickly flushing Oswald out of the 2nd Floor Lunchroom threw a monkey wrench into The Plan. Oswald being the "inside man" knew the Huge Gates were "Wide Open". (He probably opened them to begin with). He exited the 2nd Floor Lunchroom and just strolled out those Huge Gates which were right off the 1st Floor. Quick and Easy.

Storing,

Please stop taking those red pills.

The other oft-repeated absurdity is that he was "on his way to the Texas Theater to meet a contact." Uh-huh, so you hop a bus, hail a taxi, take the taxi past your rooming house, backtrack to the rooming house, stroll down the sidewalk to Tenth Street, shoot Tippit as you are walking in the opposite direction from the TT, scramble your way to Hardy's Shoes, lurk suspiciously in the vestibule of the shoe store, and unnecessarily enter the TT without paying.

Right, those are the actions of a guy on his way to "meet a contact."

Those dang conspirators were so clever they carefully instructed Oswald to "Make sure it doesn't look like you're on your way to meet a contact at the Texas Theater. Don't do anything as obvious as simply taking a bus or taxi to the theater and buying a ticket. And, by the way, don't ask why it's necessary to rendezvous at the Texas Theater at all or why someone can't simply give you a ride. We know what we're doing here, Mr. Patsy."

Here's kind of a nice illustration of Oswald's route.

Wouldn't it be suspicious if Oswald were gunned down simply because he was a suspect? That seems more aligned with Trump's America, if you axe me.

I find it more suspicious that Oswald was allowed to leave the building at all. Surely, there was an intention to eliminate him wherever he was set to meet a contact, and his wandering was likely meant to shake off any followers. What I find preposterous is the notion that the grossly incompetent DPD Keystone Cops could identify and converge on Oswald within an hour of the assassination unless they were aware of his intended location, which was the Texas Theatre. His alleged encounter with Tippit is fraught with inconsistencies, including testimony from eyewitness Aquilla Clemons.

They allowed him to leave the building so that he could lead them on a manhunt, enabling them to take him out at a predetermined location. However, by the time he reached the Texas Theatre, Oswald was aware he was being set up. The DPD failed to assassinate him because he resisted, and there was too much confusion regarding which Oswald was which. Did you know that two Oswalds were arrested at that theatre? This likely contributed to the failure of the operation.

As a result, they had to resort to Plan B, which involved Ruby brazenly taking Oswald out at the DPD. Did you know that Ruby made several frantic calls to the DPD the day prior, warning them that someone was going to attempt to kill Oswald? Clearly, Ruby wanted no part in killing Oswald, but he felt it was his fate if the DPD did not take his warnings seriously. Ruby understood the consequences for those who defied the plans of the "Big Event."

Clemmons' testimony isn't inconsistent with the other witnesses. According to her, both in her stint Lane and her initial recorded interview with Shirley Martin, the interaction between the gunman and the other man occurred across Patton. Then she said that the gunman continued down Patton while the other guy ran up 10th Street In the filmed version, she even has her arms at a right angle when she indicates the direction the two men went. In fact, Clemons' description of the event very much resembles Ted Calloways' encounter with the gunman across Patton.
