S. M. Holland's "Smoke" on the Grassy Knoll

[Royell Storing]

Your comment about my bias blinding me set off a irony alert.

You seem to be the only one fixated on Baker having not patted Oswald down, as if this was some sort of requirement. Cops do not pat down every person of interest they come in contact with. You keep insisting without any support that this was SOP.

For the record, Baker never said Oswald had a Coke when he saw him. Someone else wrote up a statement for Baker to sign, based upon notes taken during the interview. Baker read the report and initially refused to sign because he had never said Oswald had a Coke. He was asked to cross out that reference and initial the correction which he did before signing the corrected document.

   Please STOP with the baloney. Officer Baker entered the TSBD in search of an Active Shooter(s). Baker actually Pursued Oswald after seeing him moving away from him through the door window. Baker did Not "pat" Oswald down, or even ask him for ID. If a cop comes into contact with someone they deem to be a, "person of interest", you bet they "pat" them down. Especially when this "contact" happens while in pursuit of an Active Shooter(s).

You keep making this claim that Baker should have patted down Oswald as a matter of SOP without ever providing any support that claim. That makes it very easy to dismiss as another red herring presented by a conspiracy hobbyist.

And still no support for your unsubstantiated claim. You just made it up like you do with everything else you believe.

Dear Royell,

Regardless, given the fact that

1) Baker believed the shots had come from six floors higher (i.e., the roof), and

2) Oswald was on the second floor when he encountered him, and

3) Oswald was calm, and

4) Truly vouched for Oswald's employment there,

It was logical for Police Officer Cop Officer Baker to not waste time patting Oswald down to see if he was concealing a rifle in his pocket, but to let him enjoy is Coke-Cola and for Truly and himself to continue their potentially dangerous journey upwards.

Oswald did not hav a coke at that time, the coke was later.
Assassinations go better with coke.

He may have bought one ahead of time to use as a "prop."

I hav explained on this forum that Oswald did hav time to buy a coke a some seconds before Baker.
But my explanation of Oswald's movements etc had him buying the coke seconds after Baker, az u say az a prop.
