Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bruce Backlund]

I believe 10th Street ran all the way East from N. Beckley in those days. Aerial below 1956, (Historic Aerials Com). Completely  different as 10th Street does not even exist today west of Patton.

I don't think the Texas Theater was in his plan as he was originally walking East.

Huh??.... You mixing up the mess..... Lee told the interrogators that he didn't think there would be any work done in the TSBD that afternoon....So he decided to go to the movie.... So that was his plan.

And the killer who was being tailed by Tippit was walking east on 10th....But that was NOT  Lee Oswald.

Turns out he was right... because everybody was released that afternoon......

Walt:
If that is the case, then there appears to be an impersonator. To be honest, I never liked the timing of all this. There have been reports of an impersonator in the balcony of the Texas theater also. Perhaps to draw the police there. Below is what the rear of the Texas Theater looks like today. I recall reports of police waiting in the rear of the building for Oswald to run out and then shoot him.

What Oswald said happened when he left the TSBD about 12:33pm, thinking no work existed the rest of that day, is exactly what could have happened. The walk, bus ride, taxi, boarding house, putting on a jacket and carrying a .38, and then walking to the movie theater. I don't think much about the .38 as it was Texas 1963. The timing would fit better if he indeed walked directly to the Texas Theater.  However, we run into one MAJOR problem. Pulling the .38 on the cop. In my opinion, not the actions of an innocent man, unless something else is at play here.

That has been cited for coming up on 55 years. You refuse to listen instead sticking fingers in your ears while moaning loudly to avoid hearing anything at all. It's been cited here numerous times and you have read those posts.

Are you so very lonely that you need to engage with anyone at all even in ridiculous ways just to make you feel wanted?

Pathetic.

Welcome to the forum and what does Caprio's loneliness have to do with the JFK assassination?

There is no supporting evidence for any of these claims.

Supporting evidence? No. But Oswald was working at the TSBD on the morning of November 22, 1963. And He was arrested at the Texas Theater the same afternoon. How he ended up there no one knows for sure. As I stated, I take the middle road, as I am not really sure what happened that day. I remember that day well, being burned into my memory, as well as the entire weekend, for that fact, and we were all assured Oswald committed these deeds by the government. Mr. Oswald, being disposed of promptly as it must be. Today, I do not trust any talking heads in the news media. Now, 55 years after the fact, why am I still questioning exactly what occurred that weekend. It may have been a simple case, as presented, or more, that includes cover-ups, which are entirely possible.

At the Reynolds Motor Co. (southeast corner of Jefferson and Patton), four men heard the gun shots, looked north toward the sound of the shots and saw a man running south on Patton (towards their location) with a gun in his hands.

Harold Russel, L.J. Lewis, Pat Patterson and Warren Reynolds were these four men.

After seeing the man head west on Jefferson, Lewis went inside the office and called the police.

Russell went up Patton to the location of the shooting.  Ted Callaway approached Russell with the idea of taking Tippit's service revolver and going after the killer.  Russell told Callaway that he (Russell) was going to stay at the scene so that he could give the police information when they arrived.  He was present there when then police arrived.

Warren Reynolds suggested to Pat Patterson they they follow the gunman.  The two followed the man for a block until they lost sight of the man as he went north on Crawford beside the Texaco station located at the corner of Jefferson and Crawford.  Reynolds and Patterson approached a lady at the station (Mary Brock) and asked her if they saw the young white man.  Brock told them that she had seen a man walk past her and and go to the lot behind the station.  Reynolds was present in the lot when the police arrived, assuring the officers on the scene that the man was still somewhere in the area.  This is the same parking lot where the Oswald's jacket was found.

Russell, Patterson, Reynolds and Brock were each shown a photograph of Oswald and all were of the opinion that the man they saw was Oswald.
