Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[John Iacoletti]

No, but someone hiding from the police

Staring at shoes is hiding from the police?  Walking down the sidewalk on Jefferson Blvd is hiding from the police?

and then going on to hide in a theater

If sitting in a theater is hiding, then I guess all of the 15-20 patrons whose names the police "lost" were hiding too, right?

is definitely suspicious and warrants further investigation and per chance the guy they find assaults a Police Officer and has a concealed weapon,

Perchance.  Too bad you can prove neither.

OMG! Two acquaintances of Brewer's lounging in his store.  And they were from IBM, no less. Doesn't get any more sinister and diabolical than that !

Yep, the IBM guys and Brewer are suspicious, but Saint Patsy isn't.

There's no end to the troll insanity.

Says the insane troll who has yet to figure out what Brewer's man did that was suspicious.

Human beings are hard-wired to quickly and instinctively read the emotions written on the faces and expressions of other human beings. I doubt it took more than a second for her to decide "that man" (hereafter, TM) was "panicky", if even that long.  And she didn't associate the man with the notion of "running from the police" until at least after Johnny Brewer went in to see if he could find him.

Think this through a minute, Mitch.  She sees a panicky looking guy coming toward her and her first instinct is to turn her back on him and look the other way?

Brewer didn't start in the direction of the Texas Theatre until after he saw TM disappear into the theater entrance 240 feet away from where Brewer was standing, so "immediately" may not be the best word to describe the period between TM walk into the theater's entrance recess until Brewer got Postal's attention.

Perhaps not, but how long do you really think Postal stood there staring west?

So the 1:40 Oswald murdered Tippit ?

Was that the Oswald that was arrested ?

Oh wait, I forgot both Oswald's were arrested in the TT.

Apparently he was also arrested in the balcony.

[John Iacoletti]

Actually Trolletti, I figured it out a long time ago. Not that I needed to figure it out, Brewer explains what Saint Patsy did to arouse his suspicions in the interview you linked to.

Well now I'm wondering if you actually read it and understood it, because he doesn't explain it there either.  In fact he specifically said "I still had no reason to have somebody call the police".

[John Iacoletti]

And considering the number of witnesses that identified Oswald as the man they saw holding a pistol, emptying shells and fleeing the scene of Tippit's murder....

You forgot the unfair, rigged lineups part...

[Howard Gee]

Uncorroborated. What a shame BELIN forgot to read the transcript of his own interview:

Mr. BREWER - We were listening to a transistor radio there in the store, just listening to a regular radio program, and they broke in with the bulletin that the President had been shot. And from then, that is all there was. We listened to all of the events.

The two IBM guys with a shoe fetish would have been just what he needed --- or maybe they would have been exactly what the WC didn't need.

What's uncorroborated ?

Yeah, the WC was concerned that the presence of two IBM guys with a shoe fetish in Brewer's store would blow the whole frame up to smithereens.
