Bonnie Ray said he sat in the isle where his coke was and never went close to the sniper's nest.
I have a theory that Williams when looking for his friends would have checked all the windows because why wouldn't he check the windows overlooking Elm? and would have seen Oswald and perhaps stayed there with Oswald and had his lunch then went down when he heard his friends arrive. In fact the stories coming from these men was a little flexible as they got their stories straight. I reckon Williams who was black wanted no part of being with Oswald in the minutes before they assassination.
In fact the WC I believe share this same theory because when this came up at Williams testimony Dulles suddenly and unexpectedly brought up if Williams had trouble with the law, why at this precise time while questioning would Dulles try this tactic?

This is quite an extraordinary theory for an LNer to have and I don't doubt for a second that you are out on your own with this one.
I can't see the likes of Tricky Dicky backing you up as far as this particular theory is concerned.
However, there is a lot of evidence to support this theory.
The most important evidence, by far, is that six of the first officers at the location of the shooting on the 6th floor reported seeing lunch remains in the southeast corner - Mooney, Hill, McCurley, Weatherford, Brewer and Haygood. A number of these officers describe seeing a partially eaten piece of chicken. There is also a small lunch sack and a bottle of Dr Pepper.
The back wall of the Sniper's Nest consisted of three stacks of boxes. Each stack was made up of four boxes but, because of the way the boxes were arranged, the middle stack was taller than the outer stacks. At least three of these first responders specifically place the lunch remains on top of one of the stacks of boxes that form the back wall of the Sniper's Nest. However, by the time Fritz arrived on the scene the partially eaten piece of chicken had been placed back inside the lunch sack and the lunch sack, along with the Dr Pepper bottle, had been moved about 10 yards away, near a two-wheeler trolley by the third set of windows from the east side of the 6th floor. This is where they were photographed by the DPD Crime Lab boys, and this is where Bonnie Ray Williams testified to the Warren Commission that he had his lunch.
It is to the great shame of the Warren Commission that the testimonies of the six first responders was ignored even though they completely contradicted the testimony of Bonnie Ray Williams, who may well have been coerced into agreeing that he left the remains where they were photographed. IMO the Commission knew that Bonnie Ray's lunch remains had been initially discovered on top of the Sniper's Nest but they ignored this fact because having Bonnie Ray Williams in the Sniper's Nest made everything way too complicated.
Bonnie Ray actually hints at being in the Sniper's Nest in his WC testimony when he is asked about having his lunch on the 6th floor:
Mr. Ball:
What did you sit on while you ate your lunch?
Mr. Williams:
First of all, I remember there was some boxes behind me. I just kind of leaned back on the boxes first. Then I began to get a little impatient, because there wasn't anyone coming up. So I decided to move to a two-wheeler.He describes two different locations. In the first one there are some boxes behind him that he leans back on. This could be the back wall of the Sniper's Nest. He then describes moving to the two-wheeler trolley where he had his lunch but we know he didn't do that because his lunch remains were found on top of the Sniper's Nest.
We are supposed to believe that he sat on this uncomfortable metal trolley, squashed up against a dirty, closed window for almost half an hour.
