Quote: "The call from Ralph Yates reporting an encounter with a curtain rods wielding hitchhiker with an alleged focus on shooting a rifle from a tall building shortly before the assassination and in the vicinity of the TSBD seems likely an example of delusion of a crank caller. My research reveals Yates's birth mother, Bernice Gordon, and
Ralph's father Jimmie Yates experienced the sudden death of Ralph's two year old brother shortly after Bernice became pregnant with Ralph."
That's interesting. Did your research also reveal that Ralph Yates told his co-workers about the incident when he returned to work that day? Why would he make that up? More importantly, how would he have known about the curtain rods 2 days before the curtain rod thing supposedly happened? And how long after the incident did it take before the story of curtain rods reached the public? I don't think the curtain rod story came out before he reported.
Doesn't it seem highly unlikely that Ralph Yates could make something up like out of the blue 2 days before it actually happens? And when Yates saw the photo of Oswald he never said it was him. He said Oswald looked identical to the hitchhiker he picked up.
Those are important facts. What are the chances he made all that up when Oswald was clearly being framed? Somehow Oswald orders a 36inch 5 1/2lb slightly used rifle, and yet the one found was 40.02 inches, 8lbs and barely usable. And there's clearly 2 different rifles with the same serial number being used to frame him.
If you look at this photo, you can see one of the serial numbers was changed. Why would anyone do that? To frame him of course. And if people were trying to frame him, what are the chances that Ralph Yates story was true?
