Got any evidence that he didn't know to back that up Grand Poobah?


Hilarious...

He went to the movies because he  had  no plans and was aimlessly walking around and the movie theater was there and cops were around.  I know even come LNs disagree with me but I don't think there is any chance that Oswald thought he was getting out of the TSBD and didn't plan on what do do if he did. He had no plans and no place to go.

If he had plans to get away he would have brought his pistol with him and would not have needed to go back to the rooming house. How did he know the cops were not going to bust him at the rooming house? I don't think there is any way someone could shoot a President in front of all of those people and cops and think they are going to just walk out of that building. Plus if he had any real plans he would have kept more money.

An object that both witnesses who saw it said was too short to hold the alleged murder weapon.

That's not at all what Frazier and Randle said.  Your spin of what they really said would be valid if they had actually been shown the alleged murder weapon and were then asked to compare it to the bag they saw Lee carrying that morning.  Since they were not shown the rifle, you're comment above is meaningless (and untrue).

Because unlike the majority of Americans, who were huddled around televisions and radios to learn of the President's fate, he decided it was more important to see a Mickey Mouse short and a war movie. Totally normal behavior if you think about it.

Seems he was more interested in tennis shoes...

A 34 inch long broken down Carcano doesn't fit in a 27 inch long bag.

Of course they could have been off by 7 inches.

It could have been twenty inches.

Where was he going with his pistol?

To meet his fate
