Why would the conspirators let Oswald have a midnight press conference?

[Mike Orr]

It was the only way to parade LHO around so that someone would kill him and as J. Edgar Hoover would say . We got our man and that should close this case ! Not so fast there , J. Edgar !!!!!!

And here is Richard, completely going of the rails as usual.

He fully understands that it is insane to argue that an entire police department is part of a conspiracy, but it seems he needs to exaggerate and paint with a wide brush to somehow make a point.

And thus Richard's entire argument is (as usual) a strawman and his "conclusions" are just as pathetic as his "reasoning".

Great civil discourse as usual.  Those of us who disagree with you are "idiots," "insane," and "going off the rails."  This one is pretty simple.  It would seemingly take someone of influence at the DPD to ensure the evidence was controlled and manipulated as many of your kindred have suggested over and over and over again.  In fact, many of the top DPD officials are routinely named as being involved in the plot for that very reason.  The inconsistency of your argument is that these same officials - who had the authority to control more complex tasks - couldn't call off the press conference.  They could frame Oswald, cover up the crime. and somehow recruit Ruby to kill Oswald, but they couldn't figure out how to keep Oswald from the press.  LOL.

Seriously?, The press demand a lot of things and always have and always will, but that doesn't mean that they should have been allowed a press conference and let's be frank they shouldn't have been in the corridors where Oswald was being transported in the first place. The Dallas Police who according to legend has the most to hide but the fact that they didn't give a sh*t about what Oswald said speaks volumes.

Over the years there have been a lot of people arrested for famous crimes and for someone who was supposed to be a patsy giving this murderer this much exposure at this point in proceedings is unheard of in my experiences.

Chief Curry went out of his way to accommodate the press for the transfer so this supports my statement. LHO had to be shown to alleviate suspicions of police brutality and injustice.

Yep, parading Saint Oz around so that Ruby could whack him was the ONLY way to get rid of the patsy runt.

The real assassins were dumb enough to allow their innocent patsy to escape and flee the depository, so now the mission to eliminate Saint Oz fell to the DPD conspirators and Jack Ruby.

Dumbass cops missed their chance in the Texas Theater.

And of course Saint Oz couldn't have slashed his wrists or hung himself while in custody.

Yep, Saint Oz could have only been silenced AFTER parading him around during interrogation and AFTER a press conference.

Brilliantly executed plan to assassinate JFK and frame Saint Patsy with the exception of allowing Oz to escape the scene of the crime, survive arrest, and appear at a press conference.

Makes perfect sense.

That whoosh you're about to hear is your fine bit of sarcasm/mockery/satire flying over CT pointy heads.

[John Iacoletti]

Imo Oswald participated in the press conference because he had nothing to hide.

But what makes you even think that the people who arranged the press conference were conspirators?

Bingo.  Make up strawman conspirators, argue against those strawman conspirators, lather, rinse, repeat.

Congratulations, thanks for proving my point that even though you claim that the Dallas Police setup Oswald by replacing the Mauser, forged Oswald's palmprint, planted bullets, planted shells, planted a jacket, planted a revolver and host of other nefarious nastiness and then the Dallas Police who had full control of Oswald just let him speak freely and in turn leave themselves at the mercy of Oswald's mouth?

As if!

The only reason they let Oswald speak is because nobody cared what Oswald said because Oswald had nothing to say.

Hardly, the DP letting Oswald speak to the press can only lead to the Dallas Police having nothing to hide.
