Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Richard Smith]

For the thousandth time, why does it matter whether Oswald looked "scared" or not if nothing nefarious is being suggested regarding Brewer's conduct?  Even if Brewer had acted unreasonably, but from a subjective belief that Oswald was suspicious, that doesn't change the narrative of events one iota.  Again, this is a desperate attempt to imply that Brewer was acting for some nefarious purpose but without acknowledging that is the intent.  It then goes down the rabbit hole of why someone looking scared would be considered a murder suspect (how about because the police received a report of a suspicious person in the area where a murder had just been committed?).  Suggesting that scenario is comparable to someone looking scared getting off a rollercoaster is one of the most absurd comparisons in the history of this forum. The dishonest contrarian should apologize for making all of us dumber for having read that nonsense.

Let's try this (devil's advocacy): If Brewer's interpretation of Oswald's behavior was just wrong - he simply innocently misread Oswald's actions (appearing frightened et cetera) - then that removes part of the evidence of Oswald's shooting of Tippit and from that his involvement in the assassination.

To put it differently, our belief is Oswald was scared or frightened and in flight after shooting Tippit (and JFK earlier). But if Brewer's reading of Oswald's face/body/actions were incorrect - not because he was framing Oswald but just because he was wrong - then that weakens the "Oswald was in flight" interpretation of his post-assassination actions.

Anyway, to get back to the original question of this thread; why did Saint Patsy go to the movies ?

I submit that the evidence clearly shows that Saint Oz was in flight. He didn't plan to go to the movies. He just happened to wind up in the theater after murdering Ofiicer Tippit.

There is an extremely remote possibility that the theater was a pre-arranged place to meet at after the assassination, but there's not a shred of evidence to support that idea, and plenty of reasons to doubt it.

I find it interesting that none of the conspiracy clowns have stated why they think Saint Patsy went to the movies.

Some have claimed he was to meet his 'handlers' there. Great plan, huh? Leave Dirty Harvey alone post shots and hope he gets lucky enough to make his way to the movies. And hope he doesn't spill the beans to save his arse should he get caught while 'out for a walk' (as Martini put it).

Actually, we were talking about Saint Patsy looking scared and Brewer suspecting your hero might be the person the cops were searching for on 11/22/63.

Did you ever get around to figuring out how you know that Brewer knew that the cops were searching for somebody?

Or did he just figure that out from a "scared look"?

After all this time, "Richard" still can't understand why nobody has to prove the fantasy conspirators that he dreamed up.

The following clip gives a good representation of Brewer's testimony which shows what is clearly suspicious behaviour

 

No it's a dramatization of what somebody imagined that Brewer was describing.  And as we've learned in thousands of "Mytton" interactions on this forum, adding the word "clearly" to an opinion doesn't turn it into a fact.

Of course Brewer knew the cops were looking for Tippit's murderer.

Only Trolletti doesn't know that's what cops do.

He didn't figure out the cops were looking for Tippit's murderer based on a scared look, he already knew they were searching for a suspect.

The scared look just made your hero a suspect.

Stop embarrassing yourself Troll.
