Oswalds Backyard Photos Authenticated By RIT Professor

There is plenty of evidence from a variety of different sources to link Oswald to the rifle found on the 6th floor.  The rifle used to assassinate JFK.  The only person ever associated with that rifle is LHO.  Once that is accepted as fact, this becomes a very simple case.

   If you had previously tried to assassinate someone with that same rifle, and then it was used to kill a POTUS, you too would probably deny ownership of said rifle during the hub-bub following your suddenly being corralled inside a theater/rendezvous. Oswald certainly was involved in the assassination. He probably built that wall of boxes hiding the sniper's nest from view on the 6th floor. His rifle was stolen from the Paine garage and used during the JFK Assassination while he was calmly sitting inside the lunchroom on the 2nd floor. He's certainly no saint, but he did not fire that Carcano from the sniper's nest on the 6th floor and then hide the rifle that he knew was tied to him on the same floor only feet from the sniper's nest that he constructed. Makes absolutely no sense. None

I'm not sure why the actions of someone who decided to shoot the president from a building has to make "sense."  No rational person would do that.  Oswald was faced with two options.   First, assassinate the president and be killed or arrested for the act.  Second, not to assassinate the president.  There is no third option where he commits this act and gets away with it.   His arrest or death is baked into the calculation to commit the crime.  He knew that.  That is why he left his wedding ring and most of his money with his wife.  If he was going to pull the trigger, he was going to jail or die.  Hiding the rifle better wouldn't matter even if there was a way to do that.  And there wasn't.  Putting it behind some boxes buys him a little more time to flee.  The authorities would have had no idea at the time they were asking Oswald about his rifle that he used it in the Walker attempt.  That doesn't make any sense as a basis to deny ownership.

   The "sense" comes into play as this was planned. Oswald's physical role being the construction of the sniper's nest. He then goes down to the 2nd floor lunch room and establishes his alibi. If arrest or death were his only 2 options, he would have brought his hand gun with him. There was a plan, and that plan included his not having any weapons on him to be found inna possible "pat down". This is why he needed to stop at his rooming house to get his hand gun. His leaving his ring/money behind were his knowing that any plan can go sideways onna dime. Onna dime was his being stopped by Tippit.

Good grief.  You accept all the building blocks that link Oswald to the crime but then take an exit ramp to nowhere.  Oswald did it. It is impossible to even imagine how there could be more evidence of the fact.  He was not Mr. Magoo blundering around while he was framed.  The rifle belonged to Oswald.  That rifle was used to assassinate JFK.  That rifle was left at Oswald's place of employment.   He has no alibi for the moment of the assassination.  He fled the building, got his pistol, and shot a police officer.  It is a drumbeat of guilt.
