Suicide by Cop!

[Bill Chapman]

You mean "seen" by the shoe salesman on the opposite end of a darkened theater and nobody else?

The shoe salesman: '... I saw this gun come up and----in Oswald's hand, a gun up in the air.'

I can't vouch for the shoe salesman's eyesight. Too bad you weren't there...

[Bill Chapman]

A veteran police officer would have watched a funny looking man walk down a sidewalk and then tell a ticket seller to call the police?

Poor Little Johnny, a shoe salesman got a police honor and he didn't. Boo-hoo.

Obviously.

Dodger. Address the shoe salesman's statement I posted:

Sure, as soon as you address this:

Mr. BALL - Who pulled the pistol?
Mr. APPLIN - I guess it was Oswald, because--for one reason, that he had on a short sleeve shirt, and I seen a man's arm that was connected to the gun.

Cherry-picker.

BFD. A long sleeve can be pulled back in a ruckus.
Or perhaps you can confirm that an officer with short sleeves scuffled with the funny-looking guy.

And what did I cherrypick, exactly... you're the one belittling the 'snap'

Mr. APPLIN - Well, the officer was scuffling with him there, and----
Mr. BALL - Did you hear anything?
Mr. APPLIN - Well, about the only thing I heard was the snap of the gun and the officer saying, "Here he is."
Mr. BALL - You heard the snap of a gun?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Are you familiar with guns?
Mr. APPLIN - Well, yes, sir; I am familiar with a few guns.
Mr. BALL - Pistols? Have you ever shot a pistol?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir; I have shot my daddy's nine-shot .22 pistol.
Mr. BALL - Sounded like a hammer of a pistol failing?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir.

Odd that you would quote the guy who confirmed it a snap

Obviously that photo was not Oswald.  But nice propaganda.



So now you believe something Oswald says.

   There is no evidence that Oswald pulled a trigger.  That's a pure fabrication based on a clicking noise heard during a struggle when several hands were on a gun.

Obviously that photo was not Oswald.  But nice propaganda.

Oswald's wound was two inches.


Not Oswald

And thanks for posting the Oswald Russian document because it states what was obvious to almost everyone that Oswald slashing his wrist was clearly a suicide attempt.



And here's some more, why argue? Oswald was suicidal as seen by his written thoughts and his actions, the Russians put Oswald in with the other psychiatric patients because that is what you do with people who have a mental disorder.





Oct. 22. Hospital. I am in a small room with about 12 others (sick persons), 2 orderlies, and a nurse. The room is very drab as well as the breakfast. Only after prolonged (2 hours) observation of the other patients do I realize I am in the Insanity ward. This realization disquiets me.
Oswald's Historic Diary!!! Giggle!

In a violent life and death struggle where the Dallas Police were fighting for their lives, of course Oswald shirt would be tugged and the arm that was holding the revolver would be seeing a lot of action.

Or perhaps you can confirm that an officer with short sleeves scuffled with the funny-looking guy.

That's a good point, I don't recall seeing any photos that day of any Policemen wearing a short sleeve shirt but I'm happy to be corrected?

Here's Oswald having his shirt pulled.



And here I only see a bit of what could be the brown shirt?
