Why Would LHO Choose His Workplace As The Location For Shooting JFK?

[Richard Smith]

So by not killing someone...Oswald proved he was a homicidal maniac.

LOL.  That is a bizarre and embarrassing interpretation of Oswald's attempt to murder someone with a rifle.  You are really using the fact that he missed by chance when firing a rifle shot to kill someone as proof that he had no prior homicidal intent?  That is Caprio-esque. It was you who suggested that unless an individual has some prior history of murderous violence, then they will not commit such a crime.  That is not only an erroneous premise but you have actually reversed who had the more questionable background when comparing Whitman and Oswald.   Oswald's prior history raised many more red flags than Charles Whitman.  Oswald associated himself with a fringe political element, defected to the USSR, suggested to his pregnant wife that they hijack an airplane, was a person of interest to the FBI due to his bizarre behavior, tried to defect to Cuba, and had actually attempted to murder someone.  The only reason Oswald had not actually "killed someone" prior to the assassination was a matter of chance rather than intent.  His bullet deflected off a window frame.  By comparison to nutty Oswald's life that included attempted murder, Whitman was a choir boy prior to going on his rampage.

Wrong again.  First, it obviously is not necessary to demonstrate that an individual has a track record as a "homicidal maniac" to prove they assassinated the president.  Was John Wilkes Booth a homicidal maniac?  Putting that aside, it was Oswald rather than Whitman that had a track record of homicidal intent in his past.  Oswald tried to kill Walker.  Whitman had no such record of murderous violence in his background.  If anything, Whitman was a much more stable individual than Oswald.  He had never, for example, defected to the USSR.  In Whitman's case, he had not attempted to kill anyone before he went on his final rampage.  He killed his mother and wife as part of that event just prior to the shooting.  Their deaths were related to whatever mental breakdown he had that precipitated the mass shooting.  He was not a person, like Oswald, with a prior history of violence that would demonstrate that he was a homicidal maniac as you have dishonestly suggested here.

 
Mr. EISENBERG: Mr. Frazier, I now hand you a bullet in a pill box which is marked Q-188.
I ask you whether you are familiar with this bullet.
I would like to state for the record that this bullet was found in the Walker residence
after the attempted assassination of General Walker.
Mr. McCLOY: As far as you know, we have no proof of that yet?
Mr. EISENBERG: That is right.

Oswald --expert killer....Now we have put Oswald in the infantry? I thought he went to radar school.

You didn't know Oswald was a trained USM, REALLY!?!

To recap: 1) Freeman presented a demonstrably false premise (i.e. an individual must have a prior history as a homicidal maniac to be an assassin); 2) then he even screws up his facts by using the example of Charles Whitman who had no prior history of violence prior to the day of his rampage in contrast to Oswald who had a laundry list of red flags.  Well done!  You were 100% wrong on everything.  A perfect score.  And then the CTer defense of last resort when all else fails.  Oswald was framed for the attempt on Walker!  After he is already dead and the authorities are satisfied of his guilt they then have to pile on for some inexplicable reason and coerce Marina to lie, fabricate the note and photos of Walker's home etc.   If you want to play the Alice-in-Wonderland kook card that Oswald was framed and all the evidence is fake, then use that same standard to prove to us that Whitman murdered his wife and mother.
