My Time Trial, Depository To Tippit Scene
Bill Brown:
--- Quote from: John Corbett on March 02, 2026, 05:43:41 PM ---When I was in Dallas back in 2008, I did a time trial of my own from the rooming house to the scene of the Tippit murder. Walking at my normal pace, I took just under 13 minutes and stopped briefly at a traffic light.
Of course we don't know precisely what route Oswald took as he had several choice of where he could have made the move over toward Patton.
All we can do is show what was possible, not how Oswald actually did it. We don't know precisely when Oswald left the rooming house so it's impossible to say when he arrived at 10th and Patton nor how long his conversation with Tippit lasted.
--- End quote ---
Agreed.
Your time trial supports the idea that it is faulty to state that it takes 15 minutes to walk from the rooming house to Tenth & Patton, as many conspiracy advocates incorrectly claim.
Zeon Mason:
The other alternatives are:
A. Some other person who looked a lot like Oswald was just randomly walking along the sidewalk and saw Tippit at 10th and Patton and decided to shoot him.
B. Some other person who looked a lot like Oswald was part of some conspiracy plan to set up Oswald ( the Marxist) by shooting a cop in addition to setting Oswald up for shooting JFK, The conspirator(s) had 3 main reasons to do so. 1. They hated JFK 2. They wanted a war for profit in Vietnam which JFK policy prevented. 3. They figured that a Marxist arrested and found guilty of killing JFK and a heroic cop would aid their introduction of a Vietnam war against Communism to the public only 3 days after JFKs death.
C. Oswald the Marxist was known by the FBI as well as CIA to be a potential threat and possibly mentally unstable after General Walker was shot and George DeM ( a CIA asset) most likely passed on information about Oswald. Oswald got a job in the TSBD. This information most probably was also known. A simple conspiracy planned by LBJ to have JFK motorcade go past the building that the known Marxist Leftwing Kook worked in. It’s a probability option much the same as knowing about the other kook, Thomas Arthur Vallee , a USMC trained rifleman whom may have been planning to shoot at JFK in Chicago.
Option A would be a viable option in 2026 due to kooks having demonstrated such violence against cops.
However , it’s unclear if in 1963 the kooks would have randomly shot a police officer just for patrolling around in a quiet neighborhood. Therefore it’s an improbable option.
Option B is way too complicated to get the timing just right that lookalike Oswald is at 10th and Patton while Oswald in TSBD is held in TSBD out of sight between 12:16-12:30 and the exit from TSBD ,the trip to bus and cab , and entering /leaving boarding house, arriving at Texas theater all timed just right.
Option C is the only alternative that’s simple enough to be a viable option as a CT alternative.
Oswald did the shooting and did escape from TSBD and did randomly shoot Tippit because of purely an amazing coincidence as Oswald was headed via secondary road towards either Texas theater or to the Marsalles Zoo ( probably to jump on a nearby empty freight train boxcar).
The subsequent post event confusion of evidence processing and Will Fritz negligence was a result of the conspirator LBJ injecting himself into the process by telling Fritz that Oswald was their man. Ruby shooting Oswald before trial was an unexpected fluke. LBJs calculated odds plan was that the Kook Oswald in TSBD would shoot at the POTUS if given an opportunity. A trial finding the Marxist Communist guilty would be even more effective in convincing the public to support a war against the communists in Vietnam. Therefore LBJs simple plan that Oswald the Marxist will shoot the POTUS if given an Opportunity , would not have been complicated after the fact by hiring or coercing Jack Ruby to shoot Oswald.
