Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Dan O'meara]

I haven't seen Whaley quoted to support the jacket tale, or did I miss it?

Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir. I didn't pay much attention to it right then. But it all came back when I really found out who I had. He was dressed in just ordinary work clothes. It wasn't khaki pants but they were khaki material, blue faded blue color, like a blue uniform made in khaki. Then he had on a brown shirt with a little silverlike stripe on it and he had on some kind of jacket, I didn't notice very close but I think it was a work jacket that almost matched the pants.

It seems mr. O'meara is ignoring my posts.

Not that I mind. After all, it's the ultimate expression of defeat.

You keep ignoring the fact that saint Oswald tried to shoot a police officer when being arrested. This all but proves he shot JFK.

Did he? We only have the word of "do you want my autograph" McDonald for that....

And how does that prove he shot JFK? How in the world did you come to that conclusion?

Let me put a hypothetical to you. What if Oswald was involved in a plot which purpose is to kill Kennedy (but he doesn't know that). He's merely a foot soldier at a very low level and when Kennedy is actually shot and killed he understands the position he has been placed in and panics. He runs to the Texas Theater because he has been told to go there in case of trouble and he finds that his suspicion is correct. Instead of a contact showing up, the police are there in force. So, in a desperate attempt to get away he pulls his gun.....

Don't tell me this isn't a possible scenario! How do you reach the conclusion that he killed Kennedy?

At no stage does Oswald come across as a panicky character. Or a stupid one. Your scenario requires both.

So you can't answer my question? Got it! Thanks for playing.....

Oswald showed he was capable of murder when he told Robert Oswald while he was in Russia that he was willing to kill ANY American.

Kennedy would count as any American.

It still doesn't answer my question. How does Oswald allegedly trying to shoot McDonalds prove that he did kill Kennedy?
