The HSCA expert proved Oswald was holding the rifle he purchased, C2766.



The FBI proved that Oswald's palm print was on Oswald's rifle.

Wow, a copy of an internal Klein's order form, not declared authentic by the person who wrote C2766 on it, is supposed to show that a rifle was sent to Oswald?

How does a photograph of somebody holding a rifle prove that he is the owner of that rifle? I would be interested to find out, because I was once photographed with a Ferrari and I would love to claim ownership of that car.

And we have already discussed the Rorschachtest you call "evidence".

You make a rather seismic semantic shift here. First, his ownership of the M-C doesn't "prove" he took the shots. No, it certainly doesn't. Next, its has "nothing to do" with whether he took the shots. WHAT???

If the M-C had been owned by Linnie Mae Randle, it would be far less likely that Oswald took the shots. His ownership of the rifle doesn't prove he took the shots but makes it FAR more likely that he did. Even your imaginary conspirators who planted the rifle recognized this, or they would have planted a more plausible assassination weapon. They planted Oswald's rifle because it would make the conclusion that their desired patsy took the shots far more probable.

I understand what you're saying and maybe I could have found a different phrasing of words that made my point in a way that wasn't open to various interpretations.

Oswald either took the shots or he didn't, it's binary, on or off, yes or no.
His ownership of the rifle doesn't make it "FAR more likely" that he took the shots, he either took the shots or he didn't.
It makes it far more likely TO BE ASSUMED THAT HE TOOK THE SHOTS.
That is how framing someone works.
If the ownership of the rifle was traced to Linnie Mae Randle it would have been FAR more difficult to frame Oswald with it.
By leaving Oswald's rifle there everyone would make the obvious assumption that it was Oswald who took the shots and that is exactly what happened.

The important thing is you've recognised that Oswald taking the shots is not the fact that many Nutters seem to think it is. It's just a theory. That is the point I was making

On a different note, I was quite disappointed that you bailed on the topic of this thread.
You laid out a challenge with specific criteria. I presented a plausible scenario that fitted the criteria. You made a couple of weak comments then disappeared.
I thought it was a good topic for a thread and could have been a useful discussion.

You did indeed miss something. The assumption in Dan's question was that Oswald in fact owned the rifle. Lack of reading comprehension is a terrible handicap on internet forums. So is answering posts faster than you can think. Perhaps cut back on the caffeine and think before clicking that Post button?

I agree that a lack of reading comprehension is a problem.

The assumption in Dan's question was that Oswald in fact owned the rifle.

No it wasn't. The point of Dan's question was that even if Oswald was the owner of the MC, it still wouldn't prove he actually took the shots.

Nice try, though

Logic says that the last thing an assassin fleeing the scene wants to look like is an assassin fleeing the scene.

So, basically, what you are saying is that Oswald went into the 2nd lunchroom to not look like an assassin fleeing the scene, and then left the building to take a bus, in all the commotion, and look exactly like the assassin you claim his is.

Hilarious!

Huh?
To get out of the building Oswald tried to be as inconspicuous as possible.
To get out of the area, Oswald took a regular bus because he wasn't going to run to his Rooming House for his gun.
When the bus stalled, Oswald panicked and got off.
Oswald then got a cab and even tried to act like he wasn't in a hurry, by offering his cab to a lady but he took a calculated risk because he was already inside. Though, Whaley's first day account does differ.

You really do need to slow down and give your brain time to shift out of neutral before posting. His critical concern was to get out of the TSBD alive. Because he had in fact fired the shots and knew his rifle was on the 6th floor, he could scarcely hang around the TSBD. Once he was out, he had no reason to care what he "looked like" in the frenzied crowd - only to get as far away as possible as fast as possible. I'm glad you agree his actions make him look exactly like the assassin history says he was.

Stop patronizing. It makes no impression with me.

Was it? And you know this, how?

Assumes facts not in evidence

Once he was out, he had no reason to care what he "looked like" in the frenzied crowd - only to get as far away as possible as fast as possible.

Really? And here we are, 60 years later, LNs are still claiming that Oswald was "fleeing the building" and thus "proving" his guilt because of alleged consciousmess of guilt.

Seems to me you want the cake and eat it too.

I'm glad you agree his actions make him look exactly like the assassin history says he was.

Stop trying to walk before you can crawl. It's not his actions, but the official story about his alleged actions that make him look as the assassin.

It's beginning to show that you are or were a civil litigator.....

Well if you had ordered that Ferrari.
And there was proof of a payment made for the Ferrari.
And the payment details were within a financial institution.
And the dealership had paperwork confirming that they sent that Ferrari to you.
And that Ferrari was seen in your house.
And if your wife confirmed that she saw you with that Ferrari
And if a close friend confirmed that they saw the Ferrari in your house.
And if you told your wife that you used that Ferrari.
And if you lied to the Police that you purchased a Ferrari
And if you said the authenticated photograph with you with the Ferrari was faked.
And if your prints were secreted somewhere inaccessible within the Ferrari.

Then yeah sure you owned the Ferrari.
