Oswald's Motive

[Bill Brown]

First, the Rolling Readers boxes aren't to be confused with the bigger boxes containing books.  The boxes that were three aisles away (versus the boxes all the way over on the west end of the floor) were the Rolling Readers boxes.  These boxes weren't stored "close to the window".

I think you missed the point I was making. There were boxes all over the place, so why would Oswald go three aisles away to get some when other boxes were much closer to the sniper nest corner? That simply doesn't make sense.

The smaller Rolling Readers boxes weren't "all over the place".

Oswald, if he wanted smaller boxes (the Rolling Readers boxes) for the gun rest portion of the nest, would have to go three aisles away to get them, since that's where they were stored.

So, by your logic, none of the boxes other that the Rolling Readers ones were suitable for use?

It's not about me.

My logic is that Oswald wanted the smaller Rolling Readers boxes to act as the gun rest.

Your "logic" is nothing more than 100% self serving speculation that simply doesn't make any sense.

What also doesn't make sense is that Williams was on the 6th floor until roughly 12.20 / 12.25, which of course limits the time Oswald, or anybody else, had to go down several aisles away to get some boxes and thus risk being noticed.

So you think it's impossible that Oswald had already moved these particular boxes in place before Williams ever arrived up on the sixth floor?

Of course that's not impossible, but just because something isn't impossible doesn't mean it happened.

Agreed.

But you implied that "Oswald, or anybody else" couldn't have moved the boxes in place until once Williams left the sixth floor.

Your "logic" is nothing more than 100% self serving speculation that simply doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't make sense that Oswald wanted the bigger box to sit on and the smaller Rolling Readers boxes (sitting atop one of the bigger boxes) to act as the gun rest?

You're not very open-minded.

Second, the method used in lifting the prints tells you that the prints were fairly recent (as opposed to prints being left on the boxes say a week earlier).

I am aware of that, Bill. Oswald could have touched those boxes earlier that morning or the day before. Having said that, the fact that prints on those boxes don't hold long doesn't explain why there wasn't a single print identified for all the TSBD employees [somebody build the sniper's nest, right?] and/or the law enforcement officers who were in and around the sniper's nest before Fritz, Day and Studebaker arrived. There are photos showing those men climbing all over stacks of boxes but in and around the sniper's nest they left not a single print, really?

May I see photos of law enforcement personnel climbing all over stacks of boxes in the sniper's nest?

I didn't say that they were climinng over stacks of boxes "in the sniper's nest". Nice try, though...

Yes, you kinda did.

[Martin Weidmann]

Agreed.

But you implied that "Oswald, or anybody else" couldn't have moved the boxes in place until once Williams left the sixth floor.

I didn't imply anything. I just said that to me it doesn't make sense. That's all

Deny all you wish, but you implied it.

No, what doesn't make sense to me is that the assassin would go look for smaller boxes than those already near the sniper's nest. He wasn't decorating the place, was he now?

You're not very open-minded.

That's only true when you consider anybody who doesn't instantly agree with you as not having an open-mind. How about your own open-mindedness?

Yes, you kinda did.

If you say so... 

Deny all you wish, but you implied it.

Again, if you say so.... it must be so, right?   

But seriously, as I am the one who wrote it, I'm probably the best person who knows what I was saying, don't you think? It's not really my problem if you don't understand it or if you want to make something out of nothing.
