A Rock Solid Alibi.....

[Alan Ford]

 


I was watching a documentary about WWII recently. And they showed a statement from General Douglas MacArthur about FDR which went something like:

“He never tells the truth when a lie will suffice.”

Of course, that’s just political jockeying nonsense between the General and FDR.

But, I couldn’t help but think how well that actually applies to LHO. It’s a pity that the naysayers don’t seem to realize that.

Here are just some of the fine, honest and totally uncorrupt people Mr Oswald was up against

So the rule in "Oswald defender land" is that the behavior of those implicating Oswald can be used against them

But no witness implicates Mr Oswald as the sixth-floor shooter. Not a one!

That’s not true. Brennan gave a reasonably close description at the scene.

What description did Mr Brennan give at the scene, Mr Collins?

'Not a racist'
But some of those who knew Wade say the truth is more complicated than Watkins' summation. "My father was not a racist. He didn't have a racist bone in his body," said Kim Wade, a lawyer in his own right. "He was very competitive."

There are some things I would say about Henry Wade..competitive ...isn't one of them. I would say a soul of granite is more like it.
Henry Wade gave lectures to his assistants ---Avoid picking black jurists... avoid picking women jurists... but especially avoid picking black women jurists. No ...he wasn't a racist

That’s not true. Brennan gave a reasonably close description at the scene. And singled out LHO at the lineup later that evening as looking like the gunman. (And that’s what I said that you disagreed with.)

“Reasonably close”? It was the wrong height, wrong weight, wrong age, and wrong clothing to be Oswald. He also had no reasonable way to estimate those things for a person “taking aim” for the last shot, who would necessarily be crouched down behind boxes.

You'll notice that the behavior of Brennan - e.g., not immediately identifying the shooter as Oswald - is evidence that calls into question his credibility but the behavior of Oswald that calls into question his credibility or innocence is always dismissed. Always meaning: always.

Question his credibility all you like — just don’t pretend that’s evidence of murder.

It was reasonably close given the circumstances. And he saw him while waiting for the motorcade to arrive from the waist up.

What description did Mr Brennan give at the scene, Mr Collins?

The one that Sawyer broadcast over the DPD radio about 12:44.
