Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Bill Chapman]

Searching around on the internet last night I saw a reference to KLIF having broadcast the news of a Dallas police officer having been shot at 1.33pm. I tried to find more on this and found that you can actually listen to the radio broadcasts from KLIF which are recorded and preserved so listened to them from just before the news of the shots in Dealey Plaza came through. Quite interesting and moving really. I haven't worked out from them when the news of the Tippit shooting was broadcast yet - but I also found n article about Tippit's family and how they heard the news and it said that heard reports of the shooting of a Dallas Policeman only minutes after it had happened. Sadly apparently the name of the officer was later broadcast before the family had been informed.

A fine bit of sleuthing, I must say.

Maybe she thought he might have been a customer who'd bought a ticket earlier but either left the theatre and came back, but just didn't pay enough attention to patrons to know for sure.

So you rely on assumption. Good of you to admit this.

Postal and Brewer were two different people. There's no good reason to assume that they would automatically read the same thing into Oswald's behavior.

So you think that Brewer wouldn't have shared why he thought LHO's behavior was suspicious? Please. "Hey Julia. I saw a guy staring near my shoe store window so I followed him. Have you seen him? Did he buy a ticket?"

Sure.

Thanks.

Mr. BELIN - Who was Burroughs?
Mr. BREWER - He was behind the counter. He operated the concession and takes tickets. He was behind the concession stand and I asked him if he had seen a man in a brown shirt of that description, matching that description, and he said he had been working behind the counter and hadn't seen anybody.
And I asked him if he would come with me and show me where the exits were and we would check the exits. And he asked me why.
I told him that I thought the guy looked suspicious.

Um, he looked like suspicious -- LOL

Because he was staring. LOL. My point is Postal didn't learn about JDT's murder UNTIL the police had arrived. How is that possible if Brewer had talked with her about this man?

So far no LNer has explained this to me.

lol

Let me guess, you are a 9-11 truther too, right?

 

9/11 was a conspiracy.

[Jerry Freeman]

9/11 was a conspiracy.

Of course it was [though I don't quite know what a 'truther' is]

[Steve Howsley]

9/11 was a conspiracy.

It certainly was a conspiracy.

A group of evil men conspired to hijack aeroplanes and fly them into prominent landmarks. They were pretty successful with two of their plans.  There endeth the conspiracy.

NOTE: Apologies for getting distracted from the OP. I shouldn't have responded to a thread hijacking.

If Postal is in the box office right up until the suspect ducks in (but does not enter the theater) how did she miss the Tippit shooting on the radio that Brewer allegedly heard? Everyone believes the action is WEST of the theater.

how did she miss the Tippit shooting on the radio that Brewer allegedly heard?

Was there only one radio station in Dallas?
