Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Jerry Freeman]

Lee went to the theater because that's where he'd been told to meet his contact......   

As Walt did not elaborate and every thread goes in a thousand directions....

Some witnesses have other accounts of what happened in the cinema that afternoon. Burroughs, assistant manager, told the author Jim Marrs that someone had slipped into the theatre at 1.35pm that day But that person was not Oswald, who arrived shortly after the main feature at 1pm. At about 1.15pm this man went to the concession stand to buy popcorn. This was the man subsequently arrested by police after a scuffle. Burroughs said that Oswald had behaved oddly. In an almost empty theatre, he had sat down next to several cinema-goers in turn. The last a pregnant woman who disappeared up to a women?s restroom never to go back to her seat.

Burroughs?s story was backed up by someone called Jack Davis, who went on to become a local celebrity and radio host, but back in 1963 was an 18-year-old who had come to watch a war movie. He was surprised that the man (whom he subsequently realised was Oswald) came up and sat right next to him in the dark, almost empty theatre. Oswald did not say a word but after some minutes got up and sat next to yet another customer ? and did it once again. Later, when the lights came on, he left to see the manager ? heard the scuffle at the back of the theatre, and the man who had sat next to him during the performance was bundled out by a couple of policemen.

     The facts are that Oswald was there and which movies were playing.  Since I have evaluated the cinema leaders who scripted the crime, as well as the script, in my research, the unknowns fit as unknown descriptors concerning a very obvious physical arrangement.  This arrangement plays out by criminalizing the truth and terrorizing independent journalism by processes that can only be described as ripper hatter mayhem.

Is it really being suggested that some new names need to be added to the long line of conspirators? Are  managers at the TT now suspects because of the movies they chose to screen on that day?

If Oswald changed seats a few times, there might be testimony from those he sat beside... I don't know. But one can consider the possibility that Oswald --- who was an expert in spycraft after all, according to CT tall foreheads --- the smart move would be to proposition a stranger and go home with them, thus disappearing at least temporarily.

Remember the 1971 movie version of Frederick Forsyth's Day of the Jackal, where the protagonist, played brilliantly by Edward Fox, while on the run, picks up a guy in a bathhouse, goes home with him... eventually murdering him and stealing his ID.

     Day of the Jackal proves how serious the Confederate taunting from Hollywood is.  Watch ALL movies with closed captions.  You miss 90% of the affinity project they've posted in the interlude by trusting to ear.

I have no idea what you just said.

In any case don't confuse the 1971 version of DOTJ with the POS version starring Bruce Willis.

Simply, Oswald never expected to get out of the TSBD alive and had no game plan. Everything after the killing was spontaneous. He left Marina money and his wedding ring for a reason. He never expected to see her again.  This is conscientious of guilt and common sense based on the evidence.
When finally apprehended, he lied all weekend to DPD and his own brother with ? Don?t believe the evidence? comment.  It?s the best he could come up with.

Having just killed the President, Oswald, who didn't expect to get out of the TSBD alive, suddenly finds himself outside the building, free as a bird and being able to go anywhere.

But, rather than trying to escape he spontaneously decides not to do so and instead take a walk in Oak Cliff.....

Yeah right, as if that makes a lot of sense

[Paul May]

Actually it does considering we do not know Oswald?s state of mind.  We can only look at the evidence and surmise what likely happened.

Wtf?
