The Ambush

[Jerry Freeman]

Why would a sniper wait until a target is eluding a perfect kill zone ...turning off and heading away into cover of signs and trees and then open fire?

You would need to conduct a seance since only Oswald knows for sure.  A couple of possible reasons though.  First, he probably didn't want the SS facing him.  Second, his target was JFK.  To hit him from the front there was a windshield and two rows of people between him and JFK.  He has a clear shot at JFK from behind.  Third, Oswald was a sneaky coward.  Back shooting fit his mentality.

That would have been a hell of a shot for Oswald to make from the breakroom . You guys just don't get it.

Yes, the fantasy conspirators spent months or years setting Oswald up as the patsy and then at the moment of the assassination just let him wander off where he could have inadvertently obtained an alibi.  LOL.  I guess they got lucky that Oswald didn't do what most everyone else did and go outside to watch the motorcade.   Or otherwise have a credible alibi by being in the presence of any of his co-workers.  Just sitting alone in that breakroom eating that two plus foot long sandwich he brought to work that morning in a gigantic bag.  How lucky can a conspirator get?

The real sniper, wanted to create the false impression that the shots came from the 6th floor window, so to create this from their position in the Dal Tex they did not have an arc for a shot until the limo had reached Elm.
The limo was not in the line of fire for the sniper while it was on Houston, it might have came into the sights just as it made the turn onto Elm

First..supposedly left $$ and ring behind ...he was ready for the end...supposedly. Hell shoot the bodyguards they were sitting ducks too.
second...there was no windshield in the way silly. What windshield from 60 ft up?

 

A perfectly clear shot right between the eyes.

  Grip the reality for once.
Third...how would you know third? Were you there?
Oh --you must have held a seance while you were sitting in the restroom

Going into the turn... grandma could make the shot---

Where did you get that silly idea?

Third, Oswald was a sneaky coward.  Back shooting fit his mentality.

In other words, that's what Oswald did, because that's what Oswald did.
