Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bill Chapman]

How would you know what the backstory was since you never bothered to ask Seemed a bit emblematic of your true interest in looking into the question

Tell me why I would ask. I've already looked into the assassination and find for the prosecution.

If you have a plausible backstory that would produce a shooter able to supplant Dirty Harvey as main suspect, then by all means post it. And if you have additional information that would reveal that someone other than the shooter knew there was to be an attempt made on Kennedy that day, by all means post that as well.

Inquiring minds want to know:  how exactly did you "look into" the assassination?  Because we're always schooling you on the evidence.

If you have a plausible backstory that would produce a shooter able to supplant Dirty Harvey as main suspect, then by all means post it. And if you have additional information that would reveal that someone other than the shooter knew there was to be an attempt made on Kennedy that day, by all means post that as well.

Let me guess though:  you're under no obligation to justify him as being the main suspect in the first place.  Right?

It is a matter of record that they had NO cause otherwise they would have issued an A.P.B. and obtained an arrest warrant, but they did neither.

The police approached a person acting suspiciously in the vicinity of a murder. They were going to question him. All Oswald had to do was explain himself like the guy in the library did when the police descended on him.  Unfortunately for Oswald, he couldn't do that because he was guilty.  So he assaults a police officer and gets taken in as a murder suspect due to his behavior.  What you are suggesting is completely ludicrous.  The DPD officers were searching for Tippit's killer.  They had a general description.  They were not looking for or even had a clue who Lee Harvey Oswald was until after he is arrested.  They were looking for a suspicious person in the area who might be the killer.  That turned out to be Oswald.  The subsequent investigation confirmed he was the murderer.  Case closed. Excellent police work with the assistance of some astute citizens.

I am pretty sure he claims to have taken one shot only further south down the knoll where most people put the knoll shot Whoever was hosting the show, I think it was Fetzer claimed he could even be seen in a photograph or film Yet they never bother to highlight for the viewer which was a bit ridiculous Fetzer not very good on a lot of things He believes Oswald is doorman for instance

Fetzer thinks he sees all sorts of things. He's is so paranoid that he thinks he's being spied on. He thought the multi-coloured, small spinning circle that appeared on his Mac screen (which happens when the OS freezes) is evidence of that. We MacHeads call it the 'spinning beachball of death' which is akin to the Microsoft 'blue screen of death' when Windows freezes..

But Fetzer is polite and nice to communicate with, at least he was with me.

Isn't it true that LNer's believe that Lee Oswald was evasive about his identity......and nobody knew if he was Hidell or Oswald ??  When did the police decide that the man that they dragged from the theater was Lee Oswald?   But more important HOW did J.Edgar Hoover know that the man's name was Oswald??   Hoover had already ordered Shanklin to send FBI agent James Hosty to the Dallas police headquarters BEFORE they knew the man's name... and Shanklin told DPD Chief Jesse Curry that Hosty had been working with "these people"  and knew them.

It hasn't been 55 years yet. Who else always rounded up? Hmmm.

'It hasn't been 55 years yet'
>LOL. You going to split hairs over 6 months Rob?

And your candidate to supplant Dirty Harvey as prime suspect is.... ?
