Crowds running towards grassy knoll / Ferrie's library card

Maybe people should read my thread titled: "What the People in Dealey Plaza HEARD is Important, not what they saw."

I recently read a book about the Orville Nix movie and it mentioned an old documentary from the 1980s entitled 'The Day The Dream Died' which I found on YouTube and thought I'd watch (Click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63FjqTDeajY&list=PLFD58F582EA9F40AD if you feel like wasting an hour watching it).
But anyway, that's just my own musing. What I actually wanted to post about was the topic of David Ferrie's library card which was mentioned in the documentary as being found in Oswald's wallet when he was arrested. It's something that I've read so many conflicting reports about saying it was or it wasn't. What is the official word on that? Was it actually found on him or not and if so, what was the explanation for it being there?

Hi Vince, this should clear it up; "Jack Martin also told bail bondsman Hardy Davis that he had heard on television that Ferrie's New Orleans library card had been found in Oswald's possession when he was arrested in Dallas. Davis reported this to Ferrie's employer, the lawyer G. Wray Gill. (In fact, no such library card was found among Oswald's possessions.) Ferrie subsequently visited both Oswald's former New Orleans landlady and a former neighbour about this report. Ferrie was able to produce his library card for FBI agents who interviewed him on November 27, 1963."

Ah, thank you. This is what I suspected.
Surely conspiracy theorists wouldn't make nonsense up solely to support their illogical accounts and to sell books, would they?

Strange that somebody (?) would report that Ferrie's library card was found in Oswald's possessions. I wonder who said that and why.

I think what happened there is that Curry, who was in the lead car, thought the shots came from the overpass. He ordered on the radio to get some men into the railroad yard. The police responded and ran there. When the people saw the police running into the railroad yard they ran up the grassy knoll to see what was happening.

 (The spectators) ran up the grassy knoll to see what was happening.

That's correct....  The spectators wanted to see who the police arrested.....  Mr B..... Is a great Monday morning Q - back.

It was never reported on TV as claimed. So the whole thing must have been imagined by Jack Martin.

[Walt Cakebread]

And re-imagined by our Ray.

If you'll do a little honest research you may find that there was a library card from the NO library that was not issued to Lee Oswald found in his wallet that afternoon....This fact has been carefully swept under the rug.   

If someone were to dig into this aspect, there may be some very revealing information exposed.

David Ferrie was involved in the murder of JFK....up to his ( fake) eyebrows

That's just wrong. The films show an immediate rush to the knoll.

From the Elm St. perspective, the Grassy Knoll would seemingly be the most likely place for the shooter.  It was in close proximity to where JFK was assassinated and appeared to offer potential seclusion to the assassin.  Given the sound distortions of the shots in that open area, it would be the most logical place to assume that is where the shots came from.  And once some folks started moving in that direction, others would follow sheep-like to see what was going on.  Of course, we know that the backside of the Grassy Knoll is wide open to half of Dallas and no shooter would have positioned himself in that exposed location or could have escaped.  It is the last place any assassin would have chosen.

"...the most logical place" -----Consider the source of this logic and then move on with actual logic.
Sheep like are these guys that have probably never been to Dealey Plaza but know it like the back of their hand. The far side of the knoll fence was the perfect place for an assassination...a parking lot with no one around. But then who can really know for sure?
