Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[John Iacoletti]

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.

Those who can't argue the facts and evidence just insult the opposition and hope that nobody else notices.

[John Iacoletti]

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.

No, Oswald was observed looking in a window.  Everything else was conjecture.

Oswald snuck into the Theater.

Nobody observed Oswald sneaking in to any theater.

Oswald punched a police officer.

Possibly he took a swing in self-defence.  But it's disputed who threw the first punch.

Oswald was carrying a revolver.

Also disputed.  Only Nick "captor of Oswald" "serial teller of falsehoods" McDonald ever claimed to see a revolver on Oswald at the theater.

Oswald tried to use the revolver.

Also conjecture.  There was a click or a snapping noise at a time when several hands were on the gun and it was pointed at a 45 degree angle toward the screen.

But exactly none of these claims, even if they happen to be true (and you haven't demonstrated them to be anything but empty claims), tell you anything about who killed Kennedy or Tippit.

So again you attack the eyewitnesses who were actually there and saw the events with their own eyes and then attempt to insert your own narrative. WOW!

So much rubbish in one post. An excellent example of Iacoletti's shameless lies.

If Oswald had gone to trial I would have loved for someone just like him to have defended Oswald. The killer would have been fried quicker than a bucket of chicken.

Please tell us all what exactly are the lies and provide prove for your claim that they are indeed lies.....

Oh no... not another LN who thinks he can predict what would have happened at a trial and bases his arguments on that.... please, say it ain't so

This speculation about LHO?s movements after the shooting has (sigh) been discussed 55 years with no definitive resolution. It will be raised for another 50 years....with no resolution.  So the point AGAIN discussing it is what?  To hear the very same opinions and speculations over and over again?  What am I missing here?

I would think, given that Brewer had heard about  the assassination and the murder of Tippit, that if someone stepped into the lobby of his shop when there were police sirens in the area, stared ahead with his back to the street, then left when the sirens were moving away, that being a bit suspicious of that man would be quite understandable.

Not only that, I saw an announcement by the DPD (Fritz I think, on YouTube a few months ago) at the onset of the manhunt, encouraging the genpop to be alert to people that might appear nervous, suspicious, etc to them. A kind of 1963 version of the present-day Homeland Security's 'see/say' recommendation.
