Joe Elliott made the pathetic claim that it was natural for Truly to think of Oswald, as soon as he found out that the shots were fired from his building, when in fact there was nothing natural about it. Truly had just vouched for Oswald. No rational thought process would make him select Oswald as the "natural" choice.
I doubt Roy Truly would have vouched for Oswald if he had thought the shots had come from that building. Once he learned the shots had come from the building, the unthinkable became the thinkable. One of his employees may have been the assassin. Any of his employees, who were not with him, might be the assassin.
Imagine how Mr. Truly might think things may look to the police. Shots are fired from the TSBD. Within a minute, Officer Baker rushes into the building. Mr. Truly ?just happens? to be conveniently on hand ?to guide? the officer. He only wants to help the police. The officer confronts a man, who, if he was the shooter, just traveled roughly the same distance Mr. Baker did, indeed, less. But Mr. Truly vouches for the man and leads the officer away from him up to the upper floors.
Imagine what the police are going to think if it turns out that Oswald immediately disappeared and Mr. Truly
never mentions this to the police ? Are the police really going to shrunk and ignore all this? The police grilled young Wesley Buell Frazier for hours for a lot less. If Oswald is the assassin, Mr. Truly needs to start acting now, go to the police, right away.
Was Oswald the only person Mr. Truly mentioned? I imagine not. Does anyone know that Mr. Truly did not ever talk to the police about Warren Caster?s rifle?
Martin, it is you who is resorting to pathetic claims. Basically, there are two possibilities:
1. Truly told the police about Oswald apparently leaving the building because he belated learned the shots had come form the building and one of his employees, perhaps the man he vouched for, could be the assassin.
2. Truly told the police about Oswald apparently leaving the building because he wanted Oswald to be caught.
It is you who pretends that one of these possibilities is not worthy of consideration, not me. It is you who is grasping at straws.
While Possibility 2 may be true, I think there are strong reasons against it.
** The evidence really does look live Oswald alone killed the President.
** If Truly?s mission is to get Oswald caught, why vouch for Oswald? Why not say something like ?I think the shots came from above, from this building. Where were you, Oswald? Why weren?t you with the others?? That can result in Oswald being caught right away, instead of letting him get away and tell God knows who all he knows. The sooner Oswald is in police custody the better.
** If the answer is, so Oswald can also be framed for the murder of Officer Tippit, is this really necessary? Might the Dallas Police be really angry when they suspect they were doubled crossed and one of their officers sacrificed? Don?t they really need the cooperation of the Dallas Police go frame Oswald? Couldn?t they arrange for the murder of someone who does not come from a group whose cooperation they really, really need over the next few days?
Possibility 1 is simple and straight forward. Possibility 2 involving assuming there was a conspiracy that made all sorts of non-sensical decisions. Like letting Oswald get away for a while.
In any case, one can?t assume that Possibility 1 makes no sense, no sense what-so-ever and so that Possibility 2 is the only answer. That is just not logical reasoning.
