Oswald in the TSBD just after the shooting

[Peter Kleinschmidt]

Oswald shot Kennedy...... get over it.  He also tried to shoot General Walker.  He also shot Officer Tippit.  He also tried to kill himself.  He also left his wedding ring and 170 dollars next to his wife's side table where she slept on the morning of the assassination.  He was also a total a**hole who deserved to be shot by Jack Ruby, who did the country a great service by killing the little creep.

Is your name really Mark? You're Dan Rather, right? I knew it

He didn't do the country any favours. But he sure did a whole lot of conspiracy-book authors a solid.

So is it your contention that 5 minutes equates to getting the hell out of there?

And do you have any basis for assuming that Brennan's estimates of time are more accurate than Williams'?

And if it was Brennan's description that went out at 12:45, then why isn't it identical to Brennan's description?

He's right about Oswald, according to most of the country

Not Bad Chappie!....

Dispatch: unit 10....Be advised murder suspect weighing 160-170 pounds at large
Car 10 (Tippit) Dispatch, eyes on a suspect weighing about 171 pounds
Dispatch: Car 10, do not apprehend, repeat, do not apprehend..

NOT a bad way to demonstrate a Standard Operating Police  Procedure .....   And you've shown that IF IF Tippit had been tailing a suspect who had murdered the POTUS , he would have reported the sighting and called for back up.....   WHY didn't that happen Chappie?

You've missed my point.

I was being sarcastic re CT insistence on perfect estimated/actual weight matches.

Sarcastic...or not...  YOU made the point that the idea is utterly ridiculous....That Tippit would have approached a lunatic who was suspected of murdering the POTUS without reporting or calling for back up.
