Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Bill Brown]

If LHO did murder Tippit as claimed, why did he try to "hide out" in the Texas Theater and then draw attention to himself by entering without paying, even though he had enough money on him to buy a ticket? Wouldn?t it have drawn less attention to pay the nominal movie ticket price?

Why does almost every claim by the WC make no sense IF LHO was guilty as claimed?

It doesn't take a genius to understand that Oswald, by trying to sneak in unnoticed by anyone, was attempting to have as little attention drawn to him as possible.  Paying for a ticket meant, for all he knew, that the ticket girl (Postal) could eventually recognize him when his face was plastered all over the news in the next hour or so as being the man missing from the building where the shots came from, the same man who owned the rifle found in the building, the same man who was currently inside her theater (again, for Oswald really knew).

The original reason for 67 cops and three of Hoover's FBI agents going to the theater was because a man had entered without buying a ticket.  That reason was unknown to anybody in the theater....It was based on an assumption of John Brewer .....  Brewer claimed that he saw a man enter the theater without buying a ticket.....but he had no way of knowing that the man hadn't bought a ticket minutes  prior to entering the theater.   And Lee Oswald was never even asked whether he had bought a ticket....  Which was the initial reason given that THREE FBI Agents were there at the time Lee was arrested.

How about you name the "67 cops" who ascended upon the theater?

And... Julia Postal's phone call to the police had as much to do with the police arriving at the theater as did any "assumption of John Brewer".

Why don't you stop with the exaggerations and misstatements?

[Bill Brown]

Pure nonesense. The TT was miles from the scene of the assassination so there was no reason to sneak anywhere.

Furthermore, Postal testified to NOT being aware of the JDT shooting so that was NOT an issue either.

There is NOT a shred of evidence showing that LHO ever owned CE 139. If you disagree then cite it.

LHO had no reason to sneak anywhere as he was NOT the only one who had left the TSBD. You are starting to sound like the run-of-the-mill LNer Brown.

The theater is only about three miles from Dealey Plaza.  But, the theater was less than a mile away from where a police officer had just been killed.

Irrelevant.

Would that somehow make Oswald's face unrecognizable to her if she had seen it pasted all over television after moments earlier selling him a ticket?

That evidence had been cited, dozens of times in the old forum, and you ignored it.  I'm not jumping through your kook hoops.

LHO had no reason to sneak anywhere as he was NOT the only one who had left the TSBD.

That's your (incorrect) opinion.

For all Oswald knew, his rifle had been found and traced to him and the authorities were looking for him.

Also, he knew he had just killed a police officer less than a mile away.  Why add Postal to the list of those who could perhaps identify him and/or point him out to the police?  It made more sense to sneak in without being noticed by her.

I can name Hoover's agents who were there at the theater....   Bob Barrett,  Bardwell Odum, and Jim Swinford....

Now why the hell would there be three of Hoover's agents there in the theater at the time

Totally unrelated to your claim that "67 cops" went to the theater.

Why would there be three of Hoover's agents in that theater ??     Was it a federal crime to sneak into a movie  ( if in fact Lee did not buy a ticket???)

To be candid and honest.... I admit that i just grabbed the number "67"  to sucker someone into opening a debate and arguing about the number  of cops and FBI agents who were there at the time.....  Actually I don't give a damn about the number of cops ..... But I do find it highly suspicious that Hoover was already tracking and keeping tabs on Lee Oswald before anybody else knew that the suspect was Lee Oswald.......
