This Oswald chose to ride in the FRONT seat so the cab driver could get a real close up of his face, as well as displaying a gold bracelet on his wrist , which theoretically should have been not that easily visible if he had on an OVERSIZE jacket = sleeves longer than necessary.
There seems to be a pattern with this Oswald of drawing attention to himself.
1. He bangs on the doors of McWaters bus and he sits for only a couple of minutes and then wants a transfer ticket from McWaters AS he is also interrupting other passenger trying to get ON the bus.
2. He decides to take Whaleys Taxi just AS another woman is about to get the taxi and makes a point of demonstrating himself rather than just stopping himself When he saw the woman. Instead he made a point of “competing”with woman by engaging in unnecessary conversation of asking her if she wanted the cab, then offering it to her.
3. In addition to the Front seat ride, this Oswald person further gave the cab driver an easy reason to recall him by NOT showing any interest in the event that the REST of the WORLD was fixated upon: The assassination of the POTUS. This Oswald remained silent as he sat right next to the cab driver Whaley , even after Whaley asked him about the event.
4. This Oswald person then made it easy for the boarding room lady Earlene Roberts to be wondering about his behavior by showing NO INTEREST in the reports of the national emergency event that Roberts herself was watching on the TV .
5. This Oswald then left and took some kind of walking stroll somewhere that did something to attract the attention of DPD officer Tippet just passing by 10th and Patton, enough to cause the cop to slow down and follow him for a while.
6. Then there was the dramatic 4 shots fired by this Oswald at Tippet, in midst of onlooking witness, the final shot being delivered to the head by walking over to the body of Tippet laying on the ground.
7. Then this Oswald did NOT quickly leave the scene, but walked over CLOSE to Markam kind of casually, and as he took about another minute at least to empty revolver shells one by one, discarding them in LOS of several observers at the scene.
8. This Oswald decided then that he should draw as much attention to himself as possible by holding the pistol up in the air as he began a trot down the street.
9. Of all the places that this Oswald could have chosen to discard a jacket UNSEEN doing so, he instead chose a fairly public car lot and threw the jacket under the car . He thenwalked out to the MAIN st after he had just gone past several people who saw him just previously with jacket on and/or saw him throw the jacket under the car.
10. On to Brewers store, where this Oswald stops in just WHEN a police car goes by, and then he just stares at Brewer.
12. On to the theater and into the theater this Oswald went, at approx 1:30, without stopping by the ticket booth, causing both the ticket girl and Brewer who was still observing him to become suspicious.
13. Butch Burroughs thought he saw some Oswald or clone Oswald buy popcorn at around 1:07. Jack Davis thought he saw an Oswald sit near him about 1:20, then get up and move around several times to different seats.
14. The late arriving Oswald (1:30) apparently never made contact with the earlier Oswald who bought the popcorn at 1:07, or sat next to the Oswald that Jack Davis saw at 1:20.
15.The final theater scene is an Oswald making a big show of getting arrested, revolver in his hand and several other cops wrestling with him, and then out front of the theater entrance display in a crowd and photographed in his “struggle” of his brown shirt being pulled off.
Conclusion:
If Mr Fords new idea is correct that Oswald was still in Dealey Plaza at 12:40 , given that the man in the “M” film DOES SEEM to be coincidentally a figure resembling Oswald, then 15 examples indicating a pattern to draw attention unnecessarily to oneself , might be reason to reconsider the Oswald double theory.
