Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Howard Gee]

I thought we were talking about "looking scared" making somebody a murder suspect.

Actually, we were talking about Saint Patsy looking scared and Brewer suspecting your hero might be the person the cops were searching for on 11/22/63.

We weren't talking about just anyone looking scared at any given moment in time being a suspect for any murder that ever occurred.

It's amazing that distinction goes right over your head.

Conflating troll.

This Oswald facial expression could pass for scared

The following clip gives a good representation of Brewer's testimony which shows what is clearly suspicious behaviour and after seeing Oswald disappear into the Texas Theater Brewer and then adding that to Postal's observation it would be a criminal act not to ring the police!

Perfect. Nice recreation. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Which film was that from? The guy looks exactly like Oswald.

Only if it is an accurate recreation though.

According to Brewer, Oswald had messed up hair and looked like he had been running whereas Frederic Forest in the "Oswald and Ruby" movie has nicely combed hair, also Frederic doesn't seem to look like he had been running, so in real life Oswald would have looked like more of a mess. In addition for cinematic reasons the Police car does a U-turn right out the front, Brewer says the U turn happened a bit further down the street.
So besides those changes the movie is close to Brewer's descriptions.

Mr. BELIN - Do you remember the sirens going away?
Mr. BREWER - Yes; the sirens were going away. I presume back to where the officer had been shot, because it was back down that way. And when they turned and left, Oswald looked over his shoulder and turned around and walked up West Jefferson towards the theatre.

Anyway, to get back to the original question of this thread; why did Saint Patsy go to the movies ?

I submit that the evidence clearly shows that Saint Oz was in flight. He didn't plan to go to the movies. He just happened to wind up in the theater after murdering Ofiicer Tippit.

There is an extremely remote possibility that the theater was a pre-arranged place to meet at after the assassination, but there's not a shred of evidence to support that idea, and plenty of reasons to doubt it.

I find it interesting that none of the conspiracy clowns have stated why they think Saint Patsy went to the movies.
