Was Lee Oswald the passenger in Whaley's Taxi?

[Walt Cakebread]

Oswald tells the driver to go past his boarding house so he can check it out.
That doesn't mean the cops knew his address that early on.
It means Oswald was being cautious.

Huh???.....  How could the cops go to any location without knowing the address??

And....   You imagine that Lee was being cautious ..and you ASSUME that he was being cautious because you imagine that he suspected the cops might be there waiting for him.

That idea is utterly nuts!.....   Lee knew that nobody knew that he had a rented room at 1026 N. Beckley.  So WHY would he imagine that the police could have arrived at his room faster than he did???

Has it ever occurred t you that IF IF Lee had been the passenger in Whaley's cab and he was worried about being intercepted and he hesitated to get to his room and out again a fast as possible, he would have been placing himself in greater jeopardy by walking the four blocks , back to the rooming house, right out in the open and wasting that time.

I said that Oswald wanted the cab to go past the rooming house so he could see if the authorities were there.

I never said that I felt the authorities could possibly be there at that early stage.

You still don't get it?

Typical.

No backpedaling here.

I gotta call it like it is, you're just too damn dumb to understand, even though I have clearly explained it twice.

No back pedaling?.....Let's take a look.

"The only thing that is utter nonsense is your belief that there is no chance in hell that Oswald couldn't know, during his thirty minute trek to Oak Cliff, what the authorities had learned about him by that point. Taking the cab past the rooming house to see if the police were there makes perfect sense." 

Taking the cab past the rooming house to see if the police were there makes perfect sense.


So on one hand you're saying that the arch villain Lee Harrrrrvey Osssswald decided on the spur of the moment to murder JFK....and he had no accomplices ...He was just a lone nut.    Therefore nobody could have been prepared before hand to stop him from assassinating JFK or intercept him after the murder.....

But in this post you're presenting the idea that the cops did know where he lived and they were prepared to intercept him, and he was concerned that they might be waiting for him to show up at the rooming house less than thirty minutes after the murder.

Do I have that right, Billy Bob?
