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

[Walt Cakebread]

So Fidel and/or Nikita sat Oswald down [sometime/somewhere/somehow] and told him to get a rifle and a job at the TSBD on the 1st of November because they happened to know that JFK would be riding by in a parade weeks later and when he does---shoot him like a good little Marxist-Manchurian candidate ...A better story [and more entertaining] than the Smith-Chapman ["Well said" attaboy pat pat] yarn above ........

I'd be embarrassed if I posted such an absurd idea....

You mean Tommy saying Khrushchev killed Kennedy? He has been for the last 10 years AFAIK

   But getting the rifle into a building in which he worked wasn't that difficult.   Oswald knew the movements and patterns of his coworkers, likely had a hiding spot and shooting location predetermined.  That morning he goes straight up to the 6th floor and hides his rifle.  My guess is that he hid it near where his clipboard was later found on the 6th floor.  The last thing he did before picking up the rifle package was to put his clipboard down.  He used his clipboard to give the appearance of doing work on the 6th floor in case he encountered anyone while he was lingering up there.  Once the coast is clear he puts it down, picks up the rifle package, and makes his way to the SN.  Frazier was likely his biggest concern.  He would have known Oswald's movements were out of the ordinary that week, that he carried a long package to work, and that the presidential motorcade was passing the building that day.   He had more pieces than anyone else but at that time it was unthinkable by most people that anyone would shoot the president.

"my guess"....Admits it is all guesswork but such a novel has already been done.
 Ever read "Portrait of the Assassin" ...Gerald R Ford ?? [Only Ford didn't really write it] It is a rather hysterical narrative written like Alice in Wonderland. It should be called.... Portrait of an Imaginary Derelict

Iacoletti,

Do you still think the three people on the Pergola Patio in Towner might be men, wearing Bermuda shorts to a presidential motorcade on a cool, blustery late November day in conservative 1963 Dallas, Texas?

And that one of the dudes is wearing ... gasp ... a light blue headscarf?

LOL

There isn’t a scintilla of evidence to support a single word of this tall tale.

Even if you attach the word “likely” to it.

Freeman,

Did I say Khrushchev and/or Castro controlled Oswald?

Nope.

What I said is that any one of those three guys, although (probably) liking Kennedy personally, were fully capable of killing him in order to speed up the "inevitable," "history-advancing" process of Dialectical Materialism.

D'oh

This has all been asked before. Everything has.
 "I saw him do it'' witnesses were rounded up were they not? [even if they didn't see anything]..but phony ones were not required or even desirable.
Were they there to watch the parade or gaze at the windows? There was already enough 'evidence'.
"Paine saw the rifle"? She didn't because there was no rifle in her garage. If she said there was anyway..it would have raised too many more questions.
Marina had already told the cops that Oswald bore no animosity toward JFK...so she couldn't very well tell the Commission any differently.

Sorry, you believe Paine and Marina et cetera, et cetera lied and were part of the conspiracy, correct? And they lied to frame Oswald, correct? And you believe the witnesses in the Tippit shooting all lied, correct?

But you don't believe they would lie about the rifle because there was no rifle? And "phony witnesses" were not required to identify Oswald in the sniper's nest?

Really? One of the biggest claims made by the "Oswald didn't do it" crowd is that nobody can place him in the window at the time of shooting. Planting phony witnesses in Dealey Plaza solves that.

Question: When did Marina tell the cops that Oswald bore no animosity towards JFK? I am not aware of that. And why didn't Ruth and Michael said he did? And you believe the DPD were part of the framing. So why didn't they just lie about what she said?

You folks believe all sorts of lies and falsehoods were done; evidence planted, witnesses coerced or planted. And yet these basic failures by the conspirators - to plant witnesses who said they saw Oswald shoot JFK or to coerce Jarman or Norman to say they saw him carry a large package - make no logical sense at all.

It only makes sense if there wasn't a conspiracy to frame Oswald.

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Oswald didn't know the work routines of his co-workers? Where they went at lunch for example? Oswald knew that at lunch time he would have the floor to himself. Because the workers went downstairs to the "domino room" to eat lunch. And the evidence is they went down that day and he stayed on the sixth floor.

That is one piece of evidence to support Richard's claim.

This is the problem trying to reason with fanatical Oswald apologists. Reason and facts and logic don't work.

You folks believe that assumptions, conjecture, and psychobabble constitute evidence.
