Monument of Oswald

[Michael O'Brian]

Double murderer, left multiple children fatherless including his own infant, wife beater, defector to the USSR.  Those are some good objections.  On the pro side, though, at least people in Ft. Worth would have a place for their dogs to do their business.

And would he deserve his monument if all that he is accused of turns out to be not factual? o.k I will agree he defected and rightly so, the South of the U.S was not a pleasant place during this time, he must have hated living there, with all of the racism etc, considering he had good Socialist values, but everything else on your wicked list is not proven.

LOL.  He didn't defect to Sweden but to the Soviet Union.  Find a local library and read up on it sometime.  Let us know if it was a "pleasant place during this time."  Get back to us.  Even nutty Oswald came back.

Now you are Russia bashing, he went there to get a wife with class, stick to the question if innocent does he deserve a monument, considering all that his family has been put through by the twisted society and it's narrow minded people.

When Oswald returned he said the USSR was a "slave system" and condemned the Communist Party of the US for its slavish support for it ("The Communist Party of the United States has betrayed itself").

He wrote:  "The Soviets have committed crimes unsurpassed even by their early day capitalist counterparts, the imprisonment of their own peoples, with the mass extermination so typical of Stalin, and the individual suppression and regimentation under Khrushchev."

Even a crackpot like Oswald knew it was a hell hole.

Maybe not a monument, but at the very least an apology.

[Bill Brown]

A cop-killer would never be issued an apology.  That's ludicrous.

I think he was looking in Brewers shop window at shoes for his Daughter when the cop was being shot.

Mr. BELIN - Was he looking at the merchandise?
Mr. BREWER - Not anything in particular. He was just standing there staring.

JFK is responsible for millions of deaths and hundreds of thousands of lives ruined(just in Vietnam alone but don't worry, they don't really count) and yet he's still worshipped on forums like this one.
Oswald would have done the world a favor had it not been for another of Kennedy's responsiblities who followed him into that office.
JFK gave us not just Johnson but probably Brezhnev.
Think he might of worked with Krushchev a little from the start instead of fighting with him?
