This early childhood story might suggest there was a deep rooted sadist nature in Oswald:
Mr. EVANS - We took them over to my sister-in-law's place, across the lake.
Mr. JENNER - When you say across the lake, which lake is that?
Mr. EVANS - Lake Pontchartrain.
Mr. JENNER - And where's your sister-in-law's place across the lake?
Mr. EVANS - At Sun, La. They are in the sand and gravel business over there, and they have a private pond to fish in, you know, and they stock it themselves and they have some nice fish in there, and so Lee and the boys were down there fishing, but Lee didn't talk to the other kids or anything. He just seemed to want to be alone, and he just fished by himself, and the odd part of his behavior that we all thought was very strange was the way he would just let the fish die on the bank after he would catch them. Now, the other small boys would catch them and, and if there was enough for eating and everything, they would throw the others back, but not Lee. He would pull them in and jus throw them down on the river - I mean on the bank by the pond and just let them lay there, and when he got through he just walked off and left them there. Something like that is hard to understand. He didn't catch them for eating, and he didn't want to throw them back in. He just left them on the bank and walked off after he got tired of fishing. We couldn't understand that at all. It showed how totally inconsiderate he was of everything. It was a good example of how he acted, and his general attitude.
Mr. JENNER - How old was he at that time?
Mr. EVANS - He was just a young fellow.
Mr. JENNER - About 13, 14 or 15 years old, would you say?
Mr. EVANS - Yes; somewhere around there. I believe he was going to Warren Easton at the time, or he went to Easton shortly after that.
When you add this to other facts like:
- Putting out cigarette butts on his wifes arm.
- Slapping his mother
- Shooting Tippit while lying on the ground.
.....one wonders if an unexamined motive behind the JFK assassination was the pleasure he could cause both the Kennedy family and the nation as a whole by killing the popular JFK while in his prime.
