Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Howard Gee]

Nah. We enjoy Howard's mocking of you silly buggers

Thanks, Bill.

For a moment there I was really worried about losing my membership card.

That comment is Fantasy land stuff. Oswald was where the evidence indicates;
the TSBD;
his rooming house;
the Tippet murder scene;
the Texas Theater;
a basement car park;
his grave.

Sure, other than the Tippit scene where the only evidence is unfair lineups.  I'm talking about the places that there is NO evidence for, like at the post office buying a money order on the morning of March 12, 1963, or walking out the front door of the TSBD at 12:33, or sitting outside Edwin Walker's window on April 10th.

I'm pretty sure that in the one o'clock hour that afternoon, there were plenty of people with shocked, panicky, startled, lost, etc looks on their faces. And I doubt panicky faces were unheard of at other times, either.

I'm sure there were.  But for some reason they weren't automatically considered murder suspects.

There's no reason to assume that she necessarily must have immediately associated that panicky look with suspicious or threatening behavior

Exactly.

I prefer the "Saint Oz" that Dave Von Pein used. Your Saint Patsy may cost you your LNer membership card.

Isn't it interesting that the nutters think that sarcastic condescending nicknames are evidence?

[John Iacoletti]

Your OPs are ridiculously long on purpose in order to prevent sane people from taking the time to read them.

Rob discusses the evidence (or lack thereof).  You discuss anything and everything except the evidence.

I'm still waiting for a CT to answer the question posed in the title of this thread; Why did Oswald go to the movies ?

Although I was being facetious when I proposed that Saint Patsy was bored and hungry and heard that the buttered popcorn in the TT was delicious, it's better than any answer I've seen from the kooks drooling about double Oswalds and one particular troll that still can't accept the fact that his hero was apprehended because a shoe store manager thought Saint Patsy was acting suspiciously.

I say Oswald wound up in the TT not because he was 'going to the movies', but because he was in flight after murdering Tippit (and JFK).

What do you Saint Patsy defenders think ?

I find it hard to believe, in view of what happened right under his nose in Dealy Plaza, that Saint Patsy went to the TT because he was more interested in watching a couple of war movies than finding out what happened at 12:30 PM.

This is where you CT's get to spin a yarn explaining why Saint Patsy went to the movies.

Start spinning.

You mean like the yarn that you spun about being in flight after murdering Tippit (and JFK)?  I suppose you think that asking unanswerable questions is somehow evidence for your own yarns.

Why did George Applin go to the movies?

You don't buy that Oswald was moving along in Mr. Magoo-like bliss while murder and mayhem followed in his path?  He had the misfortune to look exactly like the suspect?  He had the misfortune to do some window shopping for shoes for his little girl at the exact moment a police car passed raising unreasonable suspicion in the sinister shoe salesman/master spy/liar Johnny Brewer?  Then he encounters another liar/spy in Julia Postal cleverly stationed by the CIA beginning in 1952 in her ticket booth for just this occasion.  Hapless Oswald buys a ticket from her, calmly walks into the theatre and gives his ticket to Burroughs, buys some popcorn.  He doesn't appear to notice all of his doubles roaming about.  At this point fascist cops try to violate his rights by asking him a question and he does what every innocent person would do, he punches them and tries to pull his gun.  His guilt is an obvious product of bad luck, random citizens who were willing to lie to frame him, and on and on.
