Why Would LHO Choose His Workplace As The Location For Shooting JFK?

[Thomas Graves]

Doesn?t this strike anyone as quite odd?  I mean generally if you want to try and get away with a crime I would imagine it would help to do it where NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE!  In 1963 they did NOT have the type of equipment they have now to quickly ID you and track you via GPS and other methods, so if you are unknown this greatly increases your chances of getting away with it!  As for the claim of ?Well he wanted to be famous? we have to go by his behavior after he was arrested! Did it strike anyone as wanting to be famous?

Also, the excuse DVP gave me years ago for not committing the crime at Love Field was that he couldn?t get his rifle there without being seen!  First of all, he didn?t need ?his? rifle (something I don?t think ever existed by the way) as he could have used a pistol instead and that could have easily been hidden from a cab driver (much better than a bus scenario as again it creates less people who can remember you). 

Secondly, don?t you think the SAME logic applies to getting a ride from Wes Frazier and then lugging the rifle two to three blocks to the TSBD and then lugging it around until you hide it in the TSBD for later use?  These were people who KNEW you too by sight and in some cases by NAME!

Also, it would seem DP was a much tougher place to get away from.  At the airport he could have dropped the gun and disappeared into the crowd and then even got on a flight out of town.  This sounds much more plausible than the OFFICIAL scenario to me.

When one adds in the fact LHO was NOT very good with a rifle this would seem to make this the ONLY scenario to me.

What are your thoughts on this?

Oswald was plenty good with a rifle.

But to answer your question ("Why would LHO choose his workplace as the location for shooting JFK?"), maybe because the TSBD was a tall building on the motorcade route, he had access to the building (he worked there), there were boxes to hide behind on the sixth floor, etc?

Gosh, I dunno.

I figured out how Oswald did not hit Walker - because he did not even attempt to. That was an easy answer. People waste too much time on the stuff he was not guilty of, just like the assassination, he never shot at the limo.

Bravo!!, You're right, Peter.... Lee did not try to hit Walker ( If Walker was actually in that room when lee put he bullet through the window)  The whole affair was a hoax to make it appear that Lee had tried to shoot one of Castro's most vocal foes...

"People waste too much time on the stuff he was not guilty of, just like the assassination, he never shot at the limo."

It's definitely NOT a waste of time for the government agents who are assigned to propagate the official tale, as released by the US government in the Warren Report.

What a self serving and  ambiguous statement.....  It's akin to saying that you're plenty good with driving a car so you think you'll enter the Indy 500....

Oswald was rated above average by marine standards which by genpop standards would be excellent

Oswald was trained with an M-1 Garand which is nothing like a bolt action carcano....  Simply because he qualified with an M-1 does not mean he was qualified as anything above a novice with the Carcano....  You may be qualified to operate a Chevrolet as an expert but I doubt that you could drive one lap in a NASCAR Chevy.

Hey Walt, Bill's going to argue Oswald was an avid driver.

Ozzie was considered a rather poor shot by the Marine Corp.

They said so in a letter sent from the Marine Corp commandant to the WC.
