Oswald's Motive

[Steve M. Galbraith]

There’s no “logic” in your argument.

If LHO doesn’t get a job anywhere near the crime scene, there’s no way to ensure that he would’ve been near the crime scene on 11/22/63. It’s that simple.

Why does he need a job near the crime scene? He didn't have a job near the scene of the Tippit shooting. And people believe he was framed for that murder. I assume, I hope?, you think the evidence shows he shot Tippit?

The conspirators have to be sure he doesn't have an alibi, witnesses who can show he was not at the scene of the crime. If he doesn't have one they can plant the evidence he was there and shot JFK.

He doesn't have to be placed, e.g., a job, in DP in order to frame him. He just can't have an alibi that he was elsewhere at the time.

That would have been a valid argument if Oswald had lived to have his day in court. After he was killed they could come up with any kind of narrative they wanted without an alibi ever coming into play.

Some people are impervious to logic and common sense.

Why does he need a job near the crime scene?

To ensure that he’s in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63, which along with other circumstantial evidence, made Oswald a plausible suspect.

As I explained earlier, if Oswald took the offer for a job at the airport (that Ruth Paine never told him about), how would the conspirators have put him a position to be a suspect in JFK’s assassination?

If he took a job at the airport, why would he have gone anywhere near Dealey Plaza that day if he didn’t have a reason to?

He didn't have a job near the scene of the Tippit shooting. And people believe he was framed for that murder. I assume, I hope?, you think the evidence shows he shot Tippit?

 If I were on a jury, I don’t think I would vote that Oswald was guilty of shooting Tippit based on the available evidence.

If the reports that an unknown person placed Oswald’s wallet (or a wallet that resembled Oswald’s) at the Tippit crime scene are true, then maybe someone did try to frame him for that shooting.

Steve, you’re much smarter than this. What you describe is totally illogical.

Unless you kidnap Oswald and don’t free him until after the assassination, there’s no guarantee that he isn’t seen somewhere else by multiple witnesses at the time of the shooting, which would’ve given him a solid alibi.

Telling him to ‘go to work and wait for further instructions’ serves the purpose of making sure he’s where you need him to be at the time of the shooting and reduces the possibility of a convincing alibi.

When everything else fails.....     

A dead giveaway for Richard getting stuck.... Hilarious!

What's next? The "Europe" thing again?
