Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Michael Chambers]

Does your "pov" still have Oswald standing out on the front steps of the Depository building during the assassination?

HI Bill and you may have rarely actually mixed up there Bill, mebbe with Walt, as I can't recall ever putting LHO on TBD steps as such myself.

Michael, I am so very sorry.  I was seeing posts by Michael Capasse (in another thread) and then you sneaked one in there on me.  I truly apologize to you for that.  Capasse was (is?) a supporter of Oswald on the steps.

Ducking down in his car (actually it was a truck, but anyway...) when Tippit was shot?

I have to agree with Cakebread on this one, you're full of B.S.

Benavides obviously did not "duck down" in his truck until AFTER the shots rang out.

Why else would Benavides be "ducking down"?  Come on, already.

Sorry, he was looking away.  The point was that he wasn't looking at Tippit for any of the shots.

Mr. BENAVIDES - The other man was standing to the right side of the car, riders side of the car, and was standing right in front of the windshield on the right front fender. And then I heard the shot. Actually I wasn't looking for anything like that, so I heard the shot, and I just turned into the curb. Looked around to miss a car, I think.
And then I pulled up to the curb, hitting the curb, and I ducked down, and then I heard two more shots.

Yawn, selective quoting and/or imaging is all you got and as usual never tells the whole story. Why are you so afraid of the truth?

What "whole story" did I not tell?  You're the master of cherry picking only the things that tell your story.

You're so full of Spotty Avocada.

Now you want to pretend that Scoggins did not get a good look at the fleeing killer since the killer was "facing away from him" and Scoggins "only saw someone going south on Patton".

The killer headed straight towards Scoggins as he (the killer) fled toward the corner and Scoggins got a look at the killer's face.

Sure Bill.  As the guy looked over his left shoulder.  Got a good look at him, did he?

Mr. SCOGGINS. No, I saw him coming kind of toward me around that cutoff through there, and he never did look at me. He looked back over his left shoulder like that, as he went by. It seemed like I could see his face, his features and everything plain, you see.

It "seemed like"?  Either he could or he couldn't!

15-20 minutes?  What makes you say that?

What time do you think the shooting occurred?  What time did Mary Brock claim to have seen him?   What time did Brewer claim to have seen him?

[Bill Brown]

What time do you think the shooting occurred?  What time did Mary Brock claim to have seen him?   What time did Brewer claim to have seen him?

The FBI report stated that Brock saw the man who she identified as Oswald walk past her (wearing a light-colored jacket) at "approximately 1:30".

Are we now now taking FBI reports so literal?  What about Linnie Mae Randle saying the bag she saw Oswald carrying that morning was three feet long?

Anyway, we know the 1:30 is off a little bit because Warren Reynolds and Pat Patterson followed Oswald as soon as he came running down Patton and turned west onto Jefferson Boulevard.

For those who may be unaware (instead of being dishonest like Iacoletti), after hearing the shots, Warren Reynolds and Pat Patterson saw the gunman running down Patton and turn west onto Jefferson.  Reynolds and Patterson followed the man from a safe distance.  They saw the man disappear somewhere around the Texaco station.  They went up to Mary Brock (her husband was a mechanic at the station) and asked her if she saw a man come by.  She told them she had just seen a man walk fast past her, wearing a light colored-jacket with his hands in his pockets.  She told them she last saw the man in the parking lot behind the station.

I suppose an honest person would conclude that "approximately 1:30" was an estimation.  However, a person being dishonest (and hardly interested in the truth) would imply that it really took Oswald (and then Reynolds and Patterson) fifteen minutes to reach the Texaco lot.

In reality, Oswald was probably at the Texaco within five minutes of shooting Tippit.  Therefore, "approximately 1:30" was probably 1:20.
