If he wanted to "show them who he was" or give "a giant middle finger to those he held in contempt", why the hell would he flatly deny having shot anyone and shout out that he was just "the patsy"?

That's a good question to interject into ramblings about Oswald's psyche...

I think Oswald's mind was very muddled on November 21st...and I think Marina's account of the events at Ruth Paine's house on the night of Nov. 21 indicates that Lee would have likely been happy to go out and search for a new apartment "tomorrow" (the word Marina said Lee used on 11/21/63) had Marina agreed to get back together with Lee right away.

:D Hilarious mind-reading nonsense.
"We can know he had thoughts of shooting JFK as early as Thursday morning..." :D
"Obviously, he must have had a motive for wanting to kill the President even before riding to Irving with Wesley Frazier on Thursday afternoon." :D
"But Lee Harvey's assassination plan was not yet finalized in his mind or fixed in stone as late as Thursday night." :D

Also, if he was transporting the disassembled rifle (highly debated already here) that doensn't prove him to be the shooter. It could also prove that he was... part of a conspiracy. Particularly as there is no evidence that proves he was the shooter  (highly debated already here!!).

Jim: Lone assassin believers hear all sorts of mind reading explanations from conspiracy believers about why the conspirators killed JFK. My favorite: Ruth Paine was a lesbian who framed Oswald because she wanted to steal Marina from him. Ruth Paine as a lesbian CIA assassin?

We see conspiracist mind-reading about the motives and thinking of: LBJ, Hoover, the CIA, Allen Dulles, the Pentagon, the Mob, Marcello, anti-Castro Cubans, the Mossad, Ruby and on and on and on. There's lots of mind reading about Oswald's post assassination actions too, right? "He knew he was going to be framed and that's why he left" sort of thing. Seems to me that lone assassin believers are amateurs at mind reading compared to the conspiracy crowd. True, not all speculation is equal; but it comes from all sides on this event.

As to the shooting itself: If you think a complete stranger walked unnoticed into the TSBD, then went unnoticed to the sixth floor, then waited unnoticed by people inside (but seen by people outside), then shot JFK, then left unnoticed....if you believe this rather than Oswald as then shooter then who is really engaging in strained speculation?

Why would it have to be a "complete stranger"?  And don't you believe that Oswald left unnoticed?

More likely a KGB agent helping KGB-agent Marina.

Every single thing I said in THIS POST resides squarely in the "Reasonable Inferences" category, and all sensible people know it.

I wonder why so many conspiracy theorists are so afraid of facing up to reasonable inferences?

And why are Internet CTers so anxious to have LHO completely innocent of doing any shooting on 11/22/63?

Very curious indeed.

David, are you the one who decides what inference is "reasonable"?
