The record is clear that Brewer found Oswald suspicious and that led to his arrest.  It is hard to understand the relevance of calling into question Brewer's motives for finding Oswald suspicious.   Even if some contrarian believes that Brewer's explanation for doing so isn't satisfactory, why does that matter unless they are implying that Brewer was a conspirator playing a role in the plot to lead the police to Oswald?  If not and the implication of a conspiracy in questioning Brewer's motives is a "strawman", then Brewer's reasons - whether reasonable or unreasonable - for concluding that Oswald was acting suspiciously doesn't seem to matter.  At best, all you are claiming is that Brewer acted differently than you would expect under the circumstances.  So what?

Hard to understand? What made Brewer competent to judge what makes someone suspicious in regards to murder?

Even you must realize that this would have been brought up at trial had there been one.

My comment was based on the actual evidence.

What evidence do you mean?

How about you explain it?  Even if Brewer's suspicion was unfounded in your subjective opinion, what possible difference would it make as to Oswald's guilt in a trial or otherwise?  Brewer's suspicion only led to his arrest.  The only relevance that discussion has is if you or your contrarian sidekick are alleging that Brewer's suspicion was a product of a conspiracy (i.e. Brewer was part of the plot to frame Oswald and somehow your fantasy conspirators conveniently ensured that Oswald walked down his street and recruited Brewer to point him out).  An absurd premise.

Actually, it's sceptics that come with their preconceptions, find that those preconceptions don't fit the facts, and then declare the facts faked.

That's right.

Iacoletti is becoming an even bigger idiot as the days go by. Whatever it takes, no matter how preposterous Iacoletti is is prepared to say it if in his alternate universe he thinks he can muddy the waters.
He has no shame.

The entire narrative of Oswald as soon as he left the Depository immediately after the assassination is only indicative of guilt. But the Texas Theater is perhaps the most damning because the evidence cannot be disputed and hence the absurd attempts at refutation.

Oswald was observed avoiding cops.
Oswald snuck into the Theater.
Oswald punched a police officer.
Oswald was carrying a revolver.
Oswald tried to use the revolver.

Hurts that Brewer's alert and swift reaction resulted in Saint Patsy's apprehension, eh Johnny ?

Has you spinning like a top trying to explain why Brewer suspected your client.

Sucks being you.

Wrong on all three counts.  How'd you become so delusional?

There you go again.  You are simply incapable of making a response that doesn't include a strawman argument in it.
