Am I the only CT here who can meet the LN's more than half way? If not ...

    Being "Irish Catholic" has No relevance in your using the slanderous term "hillbillies".

Well in IMO being Irish Catholic is what got JFK killed, by the very people who you say I am slandering, what do you find offensive about the term hillbillie, can you define it please? who were they? and why is that term used to describe them? just look at the threats they made to the DPD during the lead up and over the weekend of the events, even Hoover had to warn Johnson to double his security on his ranch, to be safe from them, and now you get all protective because I call them a name, which actually defines them. Come back to the real world I won't hold punches over what I believe.

[Michael O'Brian]

LOL! That's not slanderous. You're insanely hypersensitive, or shut off from the read world.

This must be the first time we both agree on something Canook

Being Catholic was certainly part of the mix....  But being Irish probably wasn't part of it.....Thee KKK mind set and influence was still very much alive in Dallas .....

 The term "hillbillies" is used all the time to slander those living in The South. This is a direct result of decades of Hollywood's mischaracterizations/Indoctrination. Automatically assuming a member of the KKK is a "hillbilly" being a case on point. I grew up in So. Cal, and the KKK had an HQ located in El Monte. That HQ was Not manned by people from The South.

Mick is reserving the term for the Dallas area. Curry, Truly and the like are "redneck" "crackers."

I did take issue with his thoughts that the race riots of the 1960s were in the South and that Irish-Catholics weren't in proximity to it.

Where did I mention race riots???
I wrote that the KKK were rampant in Dallas which would have allowed to preperation and cover up to move more smooth. I also believe that members of law enforcement were threatened as were some witnesses.

Oswald set-up the Sniper's Nest/Nook. That was his Only designated function that day. He worked there, handled/moved boxes there, and could perform this task without drawing attention to his actions. He was instructed to wait inside the TSBD Breakroom for any further instructions that might be needed. Otherwise, he was supposed to stay at the TSBD and finish his work shift or depart if the workers were dismissed early due to the shooting. It is absurd to believe that Oswald descended the stairs, and after entering the vestibule, decided to turn Left and enter the Breakroom. After entering the vestibule, turning Right would have taken Oswald to a hallway which then would have led him Directly to a stairway going Down and Out of the TSBD.  Filling book orders inside the TSBD meant Oswald knew the lay-out of the TSBD like the back of his hand. There is No Way a shooter makes the choice to confine himself in a Breakroom or any 4 sided room for that matter. He stays on the Move seeking Escape. (The carcano was stolen from the Paine garage and planted at the TSBD)

Oswald set-up the Sniper's Nest/Nook.     I emphatically disagree!

He was instructed (understood that he would need) to wait inside the TSBD Breakroom for any further instructions that might be needed. out of sight

I agree with you, Steve, but if the screws were put to Frazier and Molina with this common police interrogation technique that tells me the DPD didn't know the quote unquote - truth - beforehand
as some Ct's around here like to claim.  They do seem to be investigating as they should, not assisting 
to arrive to a pre set conclusion.     Btw ... can you imagine if one did cave in under the pressure ...
Okay, okay.  I helped Ozzie do it. I can't take this anymore.   What would the police say?  Oops ...

(Now we've got to find a way to incorporate these guys when we're already having enough trouble
trying to make it look like Oswald did it alone.)

How do you assume it would have worked if DPD was "in on it"?

...They do seem to be investigating as they should, not assisting 
to arrive to a pre set conclusion. ....

I cannot comprehend your thinking on this. Who was "they".....the Chief, Capt. Will Fritz, Capt. Ralph Westbrook, Lt. Jack Revell, Det. Potts,
or Rose.....? You think it is reasonable you could discern different behavior or other conduct by them in their approach to investigation of the
JFK and Tippit shootings on the evening of November 22, if "they" were "in on it"?

Your point is illustrative of why I commit myself to, compared to what you seem to do, narrow presentation of well supported facts.
With self imposed restraint, many here might come to see that it is reasonable and more informative to speculate less, present your facts
and let them compete with the all too prevalent vague nonsense and unreasonable suspicions.

You probably even assume you keep your posts reasonable.

There is one conspiracy theory I have that probably LN might accept and that is that someone figured out Oswald was a Bipolar personality, and possibly OCD, after the Walker shooting, so they figured if they could put Oswald in proximity to a target that he would feel compelled to shoot at, because of his mental illness, then he probably  would do so.

So they  set up a job for him, in the TSBD, or they found out he had a job in TSBD and because of their connection to LBJ, were able to suggest the route for the JFK motorcade should pass by TSBD.  Then all this conspirator has to do is  sit back, make sure his building has no security and allow his Oswald employee have access to all floors. Then its just a matter of probability, and the conspirator(s) may have actually calculated  the probability was "high" that the Oswald nut would  take a shot at the POTUS motorcade.

That conspirator could have been the owner of TSBD, David Harold Byrd, who certainly was in the camp of rightwing element that disliked JFK and probably considered JFK was a traitor. After the tragic event, Byrd, removed the window frame he thought was the sniper window and hung it in his gallery of dead animal heads.

Hey, Zeon.  The LN's already believe Oswald acted alone and his motives may have varied, i.e his marriage was breaking up, he took all his frustrations out on Kennedy, he wanted to be remembered, he wanted to strike a blow against capitalism ... whatever.  Your theory seems to state that the conspirators would have be relying on his compulsion and, more importantly, good luck for it to take place.  Just get him there ... leave the areas open to him and let him take care of the rest.  Too much would be riding on chance for that to happen.  If they wanted JFK dead they would be increasing the odds ... one way or the other.

Anyway, one way or the other, Byrd seemed to be happy about the whole thing.
