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

[Richard Smith]

So you have no idea why he would allegedly use his own workplace where he was known.

Oswald knew that by committing the crime he would be arrested or killed.  There was no getting away with assassinating the president.  They only way he avoids detection is by not committing the act.  Oswald realized this as evidenced by his leaving his wedding ring and money with his wife that morning.  He doesn't care if he is "known" at his workplace.  He needs a location to fire the shot and the TSBD was ideal.  In fact, being "known" at his workplace worked to his advantage in that he could freely move about the building without drawing attention.  And it aided in his escape from the building when Baker noticed him.  If he had not been an employee that Truly could vouch for at that point, that is likely the end of the road for him.

There have been similar incidents.  So we don't have to guess.  The shooter is typically grabbed by someone in the crowed and subdued.  Think John Hinckley, Sirhan, Squeaky Froamme.  There is no escape in that scenario.  Oswald would have been subdued in a matter of seconds.   No conspirator had ever attempted to kill the president with a rifle before 11.22.  So I guess under your rationale there was no conspiracy.  In fact, the only conclusion that could be drawn from that line of thought is that JFK was not assassinated by anyone because no one had previously attempted to assassinate the president with a rifle.  That is idiotic.  No one crashed an airplane into a building before 9/11.  That isn't proof that the hijackers were innocent.  They recognized a vulnerability and exploited it.  In retrospect it is easy to see the risk of the president driving in an open car on a pre-announced route.   Sooner or later some nut was going to take advantage of that.  Your hero Oswald just thought of it first.

You are assuming that he would have been subdued, but you have no way of knowing that he would have been. Everyone's attention would have been on JFK and Jackie not him. There would have been mass confusion. He could have even claimed that the shot came from somewhere over there.

Planes have hit buildings prior to 9/11. No POTUS was ever shot with a rifle before JFK. End of story.

Sadly for you, there is NO supporting evidence for this fairytale.

Because Oswald did not shoot JFK at Love Field there must be a certain amount of "speculation"about what would have happened.  The best we can do is look to other similar examples of an assassin firing at someone from a crowd.  Sirhan, Squeaky Froamme, John Hinckley, Arthur Bremer, etc.  All apprehended at the scene.  But you didn't answer my question.  If you are claiming that because no one had used a rifle to kill a president before 11.22 that somehow casts doubts on Oswald's guilt, then why doesn't that same logic apply to your fantasy conspirators?  No conspirator had ever used a rifle to assassinate a president before 11.22.  Right?  So does that mean that no one could have thought of it because it had not previously been done?  And that JFK was not assassinated?  That is the only conclusion that can be derived from this bizarre line of argument.

Says the troll that insists there is no real evidence C2766 was ordered, paid for, and possessed by Saint Patsy.  Because, you know,  the similar order forms that were found might have belonged to Ruth Paine or been planted, and therefore aren't real evidence.

You forgot to explain how these "similar order forms that were found" demonstrate that Oswald owned C2766.

I'll wait.

The only thing that's evidence of is your overactive imagination.

Oswald wanted to be famous and expected to be caught, so he tried to escape and denied doing it.  Makes perfect sense.

O

C'mon John.....Don't be so sarcastic.....   Mr "Smith" actually believes he's making a rational argument.

[John Iacoletti]

I'll play along, Trolletti. Just to give you a chance to show the similar order forms were planted, didn't belong to Saint Patsy, and are meaningless. 

I never claimed that similar order forms were planted, but I guess you earn your official LN Strawman badge.

Still waiting for you to show that C2766 belonged to Oswald rather than diverting.
