Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Jerry Freeman]

So Oswald is in Gomer Pyle-like bliss up to the assassination about whatever is going on.  Then it immediately dawns on him that he is going to take the fall for it.  He suddenly becomes a genius. So he does the logical thing and kills a police officer.  That is quite a fantasy tale.  The most logical reason for him to have killed Tippit is because he has just assassinated the President and has nothing to lose at that point.  He can't risk the possibility that he has already been identified as a suspect and will be arrested if he IDs himself.

What does 'Gomer Pyle-like bliss' mean?
"If he IDs himself"? Didn't he have a fake ID to show- that said A J or [Alek] Hidell who didn't even actually exist?

Are you talking about me? Point out where I made false claims.

You defended the false claim that multiple people identified Oswald as Tippit's killer by calling it nitpicking to correct it.

You defended the false claim that multiple people identified Oswald as Tippit's killer by calling it nitpicking to correct it.

That is not a false claim.

[John Iacoletti]

That is not a false claim.

Of course it's a false claim.  These people didn't witness a killing.  All they could do is identify a guy they saw nearby (in a biased and unfair lineup or in most cases from a single photo months later).

BUMP

[Tim Nickerson]

Of course it's a false claim. 

It is not a false claim. Both Helen Markham and William Scoggins witnessed the killing and they both positively identified Oswald as the killer.

[John Iacoletti]

It is not a false claim. Both Helen Markham and William Scoggins witnessed the killing and they both positively identified Oswald as the killer.

Scoggins did not see Tippit being shot.

[John Mytton]

It is not a false claim. Both Helen Markham and William Scoggins witnessed the killing and they both positively identified Oswald as the killer.

Yep, and both agreed that the jacketed Oswald while fiddling with his weapon described him as moving towards Patton, a fact verified by the Davis sisters and then just down Patton the jacketed Oswald who was still brandishing his gun was identified by Callaway and Guinyard, all these eyewitnesses are equally important because they all corroborate the exact same narrative.
