Prior to this minute, I had never once heard of any conspiracy theorist who ever claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald was still hanging around Dealey Plaza as late as 1:12 PM (CST) on 11/22/63.
Such a claim, of course, is ludicrous (and provably wrong) in light of the information gleaned from several witnesses in Oak Cliff, plus the words that came from Lee Oswald's own mouth after he was arrested. Oswald himself admitted during his interrogations that he had, indeed, left the Book Depository Building a very short time after the assassination and took a bus and a cab to his roominghouse in Oak Cliff. (But CTers probably think it was Captain Fritz who was the liar during that interrogation of Oswald, right Alan?)
And if LHO had been in Dealey Plaza at 1:12 PM, it would mean that housekeeper Earlene Roberts was lying when she said all of the things she said about seeing Oswald at the Beckley roominghouse at about 1:00 PM on Nov. 22 [see the video linked below].
Or, maybe the CTers who don't want to come out and call Mrs. Roberts a bald-faced liar would like to pretend that Oswald hurried back to Dealey Plaza with lightning-like speed after being seen by Roberts at the roominghouse.
I think it's time for JFK Assassination conspiracy theorists to stop playing their silly games with the evidence and to start making at least a halfway decent effort at evaluating the sum total of evidence and testimony in the JFK and Tippit murder cases in at least a somewhat reasonable, sensible, and proper fashion. Because if they don't, then we're always going to be subjected to preposterous discussions like this one authored by Alan J. Ford.

I think it's time for JFK Assassination conspiracy theorists to stop playing their silly games with the evidence and to start making at least a halfway decent effort at evaluating the sum total of evidence and testimony in the JFK and Tippit murder cases in at least a somewhat reasonable, sensible, and proper fashion.The meager evidence that exists regarding who was on the 6th floor before, during and after the assassination almost all points away from Oswald:
Three eye-witnesses - Arnold, Fischer and Roberts - describe the man on the 6th floor as wearing clothes Oswald never wore that day and didn't own.
Amos Euins describes a distinctive bald spot that Oswald never had.
Jack Dougherty, stood feet from the back stairway, doesn't report Oswald using it.
Dorothy Garner follows her colleagues to the back stairway seconds after the shooting. She hears Adams and Styles descend the stairs, she sees Truly and Baker ascend the stairs, but she doesn't see Oswald in between.
Oswald is reported to have said he was in the first floor lunch room at the time of the assassination from where he saw two men who can only be James Jarman and Hank Norman. This would place him in the Domino Room less than five minutes before the assassination.
In stark contrast to the official narrative of Oswald hiding out in the SN, Arnold reports seeing a man with a scoped rifle at the opposite end of the 6th floor 15 minutes before the motorcade entered Dealey Plaza.
At the same time he reports an black male at the SN window.
Bonnie Ray Williams' lunch remains were discovered on top of the boxes that form the SN yet later photographed in a spot some 30 feet away.
These remains, including a soda bottle covered in fingerprints, were initially thought to belong to whoever was in the SN at the time of the assassination, yet were not deemed important enough to hand over to the FBI that evening.
Approximately two hours after assassination, Williams, a young black man being questioned by DPD detectives, lies to their faces regarding his whereabouts before the assassination. He doesn't "misremember", he outright lies.
Two other members of the 6th floor laying crew, Lovelady and Shelley, also lie in their various statements to the investigating authorities. It's not a question of misremembering or confusion, it's outright fabrication.
Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney and reporter Tom Alyea both report Fritz handling the shells discovered on the 6th floor.
O P Wright, the man who handed in the bullet found in Parkland to the authorities, categorically denies that the bullet he gave to SA Johnsen was CE 399
It's easy to step out of the shadows when some Tinfoiler posts a ridiculous claim and take the opportunity to "advise" CTers.
But it is LNers who need to acknowledge that there are massive anomalies in the case that need some kind of resolution. Anomalies that they themselves must sweep under the carpet and turn a blind eye to.
It's also a cheap shot to band all CTers together, it's an easy cop-out when faced with the genuinely troublesome aspects of this case.
