" Here's the problem for the conspiracy argument, which rarely gets brought up...
During the brief search of the theater by the police before the scuffle and the arrest, one of the police officers directly asked Burroughs if he had seen the guy at all. Below is the reply of Butch Burroughs to that officer:
"I haven't seen him myself. He might have, but I didn't see him when he came in. He must have sneaked in and run on upstairs before I saw him."
In other words, Burroughs is asked by an officer if he's seen the suspicious guy. Burroughs said no, he had not seen the guy himself. Burroughs was completely unaware of any suspicious guy inside the theater at all until he learned from Johnny Brewer that a suspicious guy entered the theater. Burroughs hadn't seen the guy for himself.
These are facts. If Burroughs didn't see the guy for himself by 1:47 when the police were inside searching for the suspicious guy, then he could not have possibly sold popcorn to the suspicious guy at 1:15, nor see the suspicious guy enter the theater at 1:06/1:07. 2 bill brown
Bill correct me if i am wrong . you mention "SUSPICIOUS GUY " , you also mention the police and Brewer . so in doing so can i assume that you can only be talking about the guy that brewer said he followed and saw turn right and go into the theater ? . this would be at a time lets say in and around 1.40pm give or take a few minutes . this is the same "SUSPICIOUS GUY " reported to have been upstairs in the balcony . so in essence you are saying that Burroughs told the police that he did not see THAT GUY ENTER .

YOU DO REALIZE THAT THESE ARE EVENTS SEPERATED BY BY ATLEAST 30 MINUTES ? . you are it would seem trying to say that Burroughs said HE DID NOT SEE "THE SUSPICIOUS GUY " ENTER AT ABOUT 1.45 THUS HE COULD NOT HAVE SOLD POPCORN TO A MAN HE BELIEVED TO BE OSWALD OVER 30 MINUTES PRIOR . again we are talking about two different times , two different events 30 minutes or more apart . if my memory serves (and i am sure i will be told if i am wrong and that is fine ) Burroughs was questioned in testimony about events from about 1.35pm and after that (not prior to that ) , i dont see that mentioned in your post here . as i said if my memory serves me and if i am correct , you would certainly be as aware of this as i am , yet you fail to mention this important information which would only highlight the fact that Burroughs was talking about two very different things over 30 minutes apart . and it needs to be pointed out that Burroughs was not the only patron to place Oswald in that theater before the official Tippit shooting .could they have been wrong and took someone else for Oswald ? anything is possible , they are human but to use the word " LIES " see below quote
"many of the less-informed conspiracy advocates rely on his LIES in an attempt to place Saint Lee of the Oswalds inside the theater at a time when he could not have gunned down Tippit." Bill brown
is in my view rather dishonest given that you know we are talking about two different time lines over 30 minutes apart . you know all to well that in testimony Burroughs was not talking about the time between 1.00 and 1.10 , that he was asked about events after brewer arrived at the ticket booth which was about 1.45 . LN are after all very quick to argue that burroughs in testimony did not mention selling popcorn to oswald at about 1.10 , its been done here often enough , which you would certainly be aware of given your many years on this forum .
now i know michael could say what i said above and more and say it far better and do these events far more justice than i have done , and i invite michael to do just that if he so wishes .
