Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Howard Gee]

Just wanted to be 100% sure your reply was nonsense.

Scenario A - Buy Ticket Not

Sneaks in
Intercepted by Burroughs
Sent back to box office
Buys ticket
Rechecked by Burroughs
Burroughs takes mental note of cheater.

Scenario B - Buy Ticket

Buys ticket
Enters
Checked by Burroughs.

Takes a real Warren Sucker to claim Scenario B has no advantage over A if Oswald wants to stay under the radar.

You left out Scenario C

Sneaks in and isn't intercepted by Burroughs, and wouldn't give a crap if he was.

Takes a real sucker to believe Saint Patsy was worried about Burroughs.

"I better stop and buy a ticket bcz Burroughs might intercept me"

[John Mytton]

It's helpful to have a Postal Inspector as a FBI informant, huh? When will you support your claim?

Why this game? Do you have proof that Oswalds money order came back from the future?

Because he's already in flight and doesn't give a crap about a ticket taker.

What's the worst thing the ticket taker is going to do ?  Tell him to go back out and buy a ticket ?

Yes, a guy who had just assassinated the president and killed a police officer would be real concerned about being caught without a movie ticket.  He may not even known there is a ticket taker inside.  He sees Postal is distracted and enters the theater.  If it was a dumb move, then CTers should blame Oswald.

[Walt Cakebread]

Why would he gamble and hope not to be stopped by the ticket taker and possibly getting everyone's attention when he could eliminate this risk at 95 cents?

Tom, You're being waaaaay too logical and reasonable........   And you're refuting the Gullible Lner crowd's fairy tale.

[Howard Gee]

So he ducked into the theater to get attention?

Tell me you applied your common sense to work this out.

Tell me where you got the 'ducked into the theater to get attention' idea ?

Better yet, refresh my memory...what's your answer to the title of this thread : Why did Oswald go to the movies ?

[Bill Chapman]

Ticket, schmicket. Given that by now he had been seen by several witnesses at street level, Oswald had to assume the worst, that his description was now more fine-tuned. He couldn't risk being seen by Postal or anyone else. He had to get off the street, and pronto.

[Richard Smith]

He was seen by Postal.

You're really bad at this.

So Oswald was seen by Postal?  Good to know.  Some of your less honest kindred dispute this.  They appear to believe no one saw Oswald and he somehow miraculously appeared in the theater without entering it.
