Marina tied him in very nicely to the Walker attack, something she had not changed her testimony on, by the way. Throw in the shooting of Tippett, witnessed by about 10 people, many who made a positive ID of Oswald, the fact that when he was about to be arrested he pulled the same gun out and tried to shoot the cops clearly indicates a man prone to violence with guns.
As to his capability with rifles. Latimer owns Oswald's rifle book when he was in the Marines. His review of it, some of which is in his book, indicates he was a decent shooter and in the method used to shoot JFK (using boxes of books to support the rifle) he was good. Still a tough shot but there is always the element of luck in any event.
I don't think Oswald thought beyond shooting JFK. He was a rather twisted individual who saw himself as someone destined to be historically significant - which he is, unfortunately.
As to the reports of Oswald or someone else impersonating him I would point out that in any monumental event people come out of the woodwork saying they had beers with such and such, or I saw this guy walking his dog. The FBI received thousands of reports from people about the 9/11 hijackers and 99.9 percent were worthless.
The WC discussed the mistake identifying the gun as a Mauser. I'm still curious on why these brilliant conspirators who could pull this off did not plant a great, world renown sniper rifle rather than what you call a 'crappy rifle.' Does'nt make sense to me.
The hospital doctors have been questioned over the years, and even were allowed access to the photos/xrays and they state they support the WC commission's findings. I believe PBS had a show where was doctor was allowed access. The mysterious autopsy was nothing of the kind. It may not have not have been as thorough as it deserved but blame RFK and Jackie who did not want it getting out that JFK was a dying man. I certainly don't believe JFK's body was altered and the photos and xrays were switched. All of that was reinvestigated by the House Committee. No evidence.
A lot of people corrected the DA when he made that mistake, not just Ruby. That news had already been on TV and the radio for hours. Ruby was a nobody. He was never a made member of the mob, or a hitman. Of course, why didn't he nail Oswald when he was being moved around that first night. He had a clear shot. Of course why did'nt the Mob kill Ruby? In many respects he was a lot like Oswald, a little man who wanted to be a big man. He totally cracked while in prison claiming he was injected with cancer cells and LBJ wanted Israel to be destroyed.
Witnesses to the Walker shooting state that the shooter escaped via car and Oswald did not drive. Nor was there any ballistic evidence linking the gun and the attempt.
I don't believe a thing Lattimer says, sorry. And he cannot change the fact that Oswald's gun was not properly sightable until after the US Army Ordinance Lab worked on it.
Oswald historic significance was countered by his claim to be a patsy. Had he truly had that goal he would have admitted he did it and why.
Those Oswald sightings have never been properly explained or invalidated unlike the example you use. Or the claim that he was in front of the TBD building when the shoots were fired. That has been clarified by identifying the individual in the picture.
An identification of the rifle as a Mauser was inconsistent with the paper trail created by the purchase of the MC. One could not tie a Mauser to Oswald as the MC was. One must rely upon yet another "mistake" to change the statement of an alleged firearms expert that conflicts with the WC report.
The autopsy was controlled by a military officer (unknown?) who directed what to examine. The shallow wound in the back was never explained or properly examined merely noted. Several of the pictures appear to be as fake as a Dan Rather (huge WC Report supporter) memo.
Ruby could never have been "made" because he was Jewish and I never claimed he had been. He was an ASSOCIATE used for various minor jobs during the past: running strip clubs, union extortion, gun running to Cuba, keeping the Dallas PD happy. And the explanation for all the inconsistencies in the official story being reduced to "crazy" individuals and luck gets a little tiresome.
