Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[John Iacoletti]

But that would mean something dramatic/tragic must have happened. Gee, I wonder what that was.

My question was, "how can you be sure that Oswald even knew that the president was shot?"

Not, "how can you be sure that Oswald knew that something dramatic happened?"

Tell us why Brennan calling the rifle a gun is important
Both weapons qualify as guns

Take it up with Joe.  He's the one making the distinction.

[John Iacoletti]

All that proves is that not all people are gun-nuts
Marina, Brennan etc indicated they knew little or nothing about guns.

Granted, but how about police captains and officers and FBI agents?

The bag was found in the sniper's nest

You forgot the "allegedly".

with Oswald's prints on it. It was long enough for Oswald to carry his rifle in.

"his rifle".  LOL.

But so what?  A lot of things are long enough to carry a rifle in.  That doesn't somehow prove that a rifle was carried in in them.

Linnie Mae's original estimate of its length was about three feet.

Correction:  Bookhout reported that Linnie Mae's estimate was about 3 feet.

  You cannot get around those facts no matter how hard you try.

There's nothing to get around.  You can't place a rifle in CE142 and you can't place CE142 as the bag that Frazier and Randle saw Oswald carrying.

Arguably, the Walker incident sets a precedent regarding Oswald's maybe not expecting to come back from a night on the town... or a day at the office.

"Arguably" is putting it mildly, since you don't have any real evidence that Oswald was involved in the Walker shooting.

[John Iacoletti]

He was the man who drove the assassin to work FFS. He would face the death penalty if convicted. Duh.

I didn't realize that driving an assassin to work was an actual crime.

[John Iacoletti]

Oswald's prints were on the bag. That means that he handled the bag.

If the identification was correct, yes.

But how does that prove that a rifle was ever in the bag?

It was found it the sniper's nest near the shell casings that had been fired in Oswald's rifle.

"Oswald's rifle".  LOL.

But what time did did this bag actually show up "in the sniper's nest"?

Linnie Mae's description of the bag she saw matched with that bag.

Mr. BALL. Now, was the length of it any similar, anywhere near similar?
Mrs. RANDLE. Well, it wasn't that long, I mean it was folded down at the top as I told you. It definitely wasn't that long.

  Frazier admitted that Oswald could have carried the bag in such a way that it's full length would not have been viewable to him.

How?  For it to be the bag you want it to be, it would have to have been held out in front of him at a 45 degree angle for it not to stick up over his shoulder.  Pity that dishonest Bugliosi didn't actually demonstrate how Oswald "could have carried the bag in such a way".

I'm not desperate.Nor am I stupid. Claiming that I massively misrepresented the truth is just plain stupid. What I stated was the truth. Not one word of it was a lie or a misrepresentation of the truth.

You may not be stupid, but you seem to think everybody else is.

Let's try this another way. If I say; "it could be but I don't think Oswald killed Kennedy for fun"

You would claim I said that I don't think Oswald killed Kennedy, right?
