This at least gives me pause about the LN narrative

[John Corbett]

LP--

You ask interesting questions.

Veteran researcher Larry Hancock wrote a book recently on LHO, with David Boylan.

They contend LHO was only a wayward, antsy earnest Marxist, and they agree with you that LHO's behavior was not that of a guilty party.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.

I posited to Hancock (a very civil and smart fellow) that LHO had taken a potshot at Walker, and Hancock somewhat demurred. Given the evidence, I contend LHO at least took a shot in Walker's direction, and also likely had a ride that night.

In lieu of evidence, you are free to speculate about such things.

Meaning LHO had confederates.

If only there was evidence of such confederates.

My take is LHO's immediate post-JFK behavior is that of someone complicit or thought he had been framed, or even both (he was left holding the bag). Johnny Calvin Brewer's testimony is interesting. LHO furtive behavior in the alcove of Brewer's shoe store, and then sneaking into the Texas Theater...not that of someone uninvolved in the JFKA. This, after LHO armed himself.

Somewhere in the above there might be a hint of logical thought but I can't find it.

But human nature is not always predictable, and LHO was likely (in my layman's opinion) suffering from some forms of mental illness. He may have been cool and calm in police custody...but LHO also panicked and shot JD Tippit dead.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

Well, at least you finished on a high note.
