Mr Mytton, I rarely agree with anything you post....But this is one of those rare times.... When you're right you're right. The P. Parade was still on the street when Lee left the building .... And there are photos ( film clips) that show a man who I believe is Lee Oswald on the stub street in front of the TSBD.
It really must take heavy investment in a cherished narrative to parse a sequence of simple words so that they mean something other than their plain sense!
'Then went outside to watch P. parade' means:
Then (i.e. after buying coke in lunchroom and returning to first floor for lunch)
went outside (i.e. through the front door)
to watch (i.e. to be a spectator of)
P. parade (i.e. the Presidential parade).
After JFK was shot, there was no Presidential
parade. The words 'watch' and 'parade' are the very
last words either Mr Oswald or Agent Hosty would have used to describe 'going outside to see what all the commotion was about'.
It's garbage like this that brings CT 'researchers' down to the level of the Warren Gullibles!
