The Bus Stop Farce

[Martin Weidmann]

There you go again. You sound like Trump, denying reality.

A typical irrelevant reply from somebody who lacks the ability to argue his own case and makes do with pathetic one liners

Jumping to conclusions based on assumptions is your "reality", not mine.

Your world;

One witness said Oswald left the rooming house wearing a dark colored jacket, so the white jacket found under a parked car must be that jacket.... and oh btw it's actually grey...

Oswald carried a revolver when he was arrested. He admits it to Fritz and says he bought it in Forth Worth, so the revolver that shows up at the police station two hours after his arrest must be that revolver..... and oh btw it's actually bought by a mail order.

No paper work ever produced that he bought it in Fort Worth i'm guessing?

The naysayers claim that there is no evidence that LHO lied. They also believe him when he said that he didn’t shoot anybody. Go figure...

It would have been interesting if such paperwork was produced.

I wonder why Oswald ordered the rifle and the pistol from two different mail order houses - one in Chicago and one in L.A.

Wouldn't that double his chances of getting caught with the fake Hidell name?

Oswald wouldn't say where in Fort Worth he bought it. Robert Oswald said his brother had other pistols which he, Robert, bought off him so he wouldn't do anything with them.
