Why Was Oswald Killed?

[Gary Craig]

[Gary Craig]

LHO is arrested @ approximately 1:55pm.

He is searched @ 4:05pm and five live rounds of .38 calibre pistol shells are found in his left front pocket.

So apparently LHO wasn't searched for the first 2hrs. 10min. he was in custody?

"At approximately 1:55pm Friday, November 22, 1963, I was in the vicinity

of the Texas Theater in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, looking for the suspect

in the slaying of officer J.D. Tippit."

"I joined the other officers in attempting to complete the arrest"

"succeeded in subduing the suspect, and while the other officers held the suspect, Officer Ray Hawkins and I handcuffed the suspect."

"At 4:05pm Sims, Boyd, and Det. M.C. Hall took Oswald down to the holdover in the jail

office for a show-up. Down in the hold over, Boyd searched Oswald and found

five live rounds of .38 calibre pistol shells in his left front pocket. Sims

found a bus transfer slip in Oswald's shirt pocket."

I cordially invite Mr Logan, Mr Chapman or anyone else that wants to give it a crack...to come to Dallas and try pulling a gun on a group of cops and see what happens then----

Don't be absurd, the scenario you are trying to present is not replicating the close struggle of what went down in the Texas Theater.

What is absurd is your overuse of the word. Unless you were in the theater at that time..what would you really know? So the rest is just speculation.

Note that McDonald’s report says nothing about Oswald “pulling a gun” or trying to shoot anybody. That’s all LNer fiction.

You wouldn't be attempting to sanitize the differing optics between pulling a gun, bringing out a gun, or taking out a gun, now would you, SemanticsSuckJohnny?

Wrong again Chappy.  None of those apply.

Oswald was killed to shut him up. It’s an old Sicilian practice whereby they set someone up to take the fall for a murder and then kill him to stop the information flow.  Ruby was tasked to kill Oswald by the mob which owned his strip club.

Oswald applied himself.
It's what boys do.
