Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[John Iacoletti]

You really don't understand why it's important that Brewer found Saint Patsy suspicious ?

Let me expain it to you.

The FACT that Brewer thought your client was acting suspiciously resulted in Saint Patsy being apprehended.

It doesn't matter that a wannabe blowhard attorney doesn't think his client was acting suspiciously.

It's incredible that you think your opinion of whether Saint Patsy was acting suspiciously outweighs Brewer's.

You can bitch and moan forever that 'looking funny' or 'staring at shoes' was insufficient reason for Brewer to have any suspicions about your hero, but you weren't there and Brewer was.

Brewer's opinion and actions matter, all your bloviating, whining and grandstanding doesn't.

Brewer hero. Iacoletti zero.

Why is a shoe salesman's opinion of suspicious behavior that he can't even describe any better than anyone else's, including a cowardly anonymous Internet troll's?

This is another example of the effort to make evidence against Oswald disappear. That is: demand that the information be explained to an absurd degree - What did Brewer mean by "suspicious"? How did Oswald look "scared"? - and then when the replies don't satisfy the questioner (none will) simply say the information is worthless.

What exactly do you think "looking scared" is evidence of?

We've seen this time after time. The rifle purchase, the backyard photos, the Hiddell ID....whatever. The evidence is made to vanish. He's not saying it was manufactured or faked; no, he's saying it never existed in the first place.

Who's "he"?  Nobody is claiming that these things don't exist.

Did someone say that Brewer's personal observations were evidence of murder?  It seems only CTers are the ones suggesting that.

About 3 years ago, a guy came into a coffee shop and sat about 15 feet away from me. He had a backpack. He had an unfriendly, even angry, look on his face. Sure enough, a few minutes later he looked around while loudly blurting out something in a language I didn't recognize. He then pulled out a laptop and started using it. He continued to look around with what I perceived as an angry countenance. I thought to myself what if this guy has a weapon in that backpack? I decided fck this guy; if he pulls out a weapon I'm going to hit him with a chair. I calculated the time it would take to grab a chair from my table and nail the guy, hoping his attention would not be fixed on me. But the guy left after a few more minutes.

My observation doesn't prove the guy had a weapon or that he was otherwise dangerous. It only proves that some people are more alert & observant especially in times of random bombings... or in Brewer's case, nearby manhunts.

And a sample of what Oswald looks like with messed up hair and a stare

  Like that has any relevance to what he looked like outside Brewer's store (if it was even Oswald).

Did police beat the crap out of Oswald? Seems to me it was more of a wrestling match to remove the pistol from his possession.

Seems to me you don't have even a cursory knowledge of the evidence.

Mr. BALL - Did you see any officers strike him?
Mr. APPLIN - I seen one strike him with a shotgun.
Mr. BALL - How did he do it?
Mr. APPLIN - He grabbed the muzzle of the gun and drawed it back and swung and hit him in the back.
Mr. BALL - With what?
Mr. APPLIN - With the butt end of the gun.
Mr. BALL - Looked like a hard blow?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir; it--I guess-it was. You could--yes, sir.

Well, at least after a retaliatory punch administered by McDonald after a first strike by your boy.

That was the story.  Sure, and McDonald must have had clear blood coming out of his "bloody nose".

What exactly do you think "looking scared" is evidence of?

That the observer thought he looked scared.

"those who mock and insult the other side'

Like you with Inattentional Blindness

You fcn hypocrite

Pointing out that a gorilla playing basketball is not relevant to whether a bag was or was not in a crime scene is not mocking and insulting.  Sorry, you're going to have to find some different rhetoric.

[John Iacoletti]

Newbies, just imagine Oswald in that window

So now you want them to imagine evidence?

Of course he does.  That's the only evidence they have.

- imagine Oswald had a rifle in a bag
- imagine that Brennan really saw Oswald aiming a rifle and from the belt up
- imagine that a ring in a cup means premediated murder
- imagine that Oswald picked up a rifle at the post office
- imagine that the rifle in the photo is C2766
- imagine that Oswald used Hidell as an alias

etc, etc, etc
