Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[John Iacoletti]

You seem to be assuming that the package would have to be carried straight up.

Right.  He could have been holding it at a 45 degree angle in front of him.

 

[Tim Nickerson]

But you support it, right?

Support what? That CE 399 hit JFK at the level of C6? No, I do not.

[Bill Chapman]

Because his shtick is that you need to prove that Oswald didn't come down the stairs.

People who accept the Warren Commission conclusions almost universally don't understand burden of proof.

Oh yeah, back to why Oswald went to the movies...

He liked movies.  And popcorn.  And there was no more work that day.

And he liked staring blankly at tennis shoes, apparently. Not interested in cop cars speeding by with sirens wailing, though. Smith, Wesson, and Lee... Dirty Harvey. That's it, it's all over now. Poor dumb cop.

People who reject every WC conclusion don't understand or accept standard of proof.

Fritz's account was "He stated that he left work because, in his opinion, based upon remarks of Bill Shelly, he did not believe that there was going to be anymore work that day due to the confusion in the building."

I don't know how you get from that to "he knew the president was shot".

I don't know how you get from that to "he knew the president was shot".

Um, yeah.  Okay.

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Um, yeah.  Okay.

Someone once said: "Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says."

I'm just quoting that of course; that doesn't mean I agree with it or anything.

And he liked staring blankly at tennis shoes, apparently. Not interested in cop cars speeding by with sirens wailing, though.

...therefore he had just shot a cop. You call that a ?standard of proof??

[John Iacoletti]

Buell had good reason to suspect that he might be charged as an accessory in the assassination, given that he delivered the killer to the scene. Repeatedly assurring questioners that he didn't pay attention to the bag would arguably suggest that he wanted to bolster a position that would serve him reasonably well on the stand.

As I said ? now look who?s calling witnesses liars!

Couple that with the statements by Buell in later years that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life being scorned. Additionally, he did move away from Dallas I think; stating that he feared for his family's safety.

Really? Where to? Is this another one of your ?recollections??
