He also worked with a security clearance in the Marines and subscribed to the Communist Party newspaper, The Worker and never was removed or discharged?
Do I think he pulled the trigger? No
Was he part of a larger plot/operation? Probably
I believe he was a unstable loose cannon that was used as a cut-out or fall guy something like Tim Mcvey altho Mcvey was more directly involved in OKC.
You, and all other conspiracy believers need to watch the great documentary about the assassination in post 75.
If you’re interested in all you should really watch it.
All the time I see people asking questions that have been explained 100 times, all of the information is available, it’s the most investigated murder in history.
Good question. There are a few reasons. One, he would have been seen, that would have started all kinds of activity, even before he took a shot. Second, Oswald needed to escape. Shots from the TSBD as the car came down N. Houston would not have enabled him to do so. Too many people would see him and been able to identify him.
Remember, he got on a bus for home after the shooting, grabbed a light jacket and a revolver and was walking away when confronted by Officer J.D. Tippit. Panicked he shot Tippit, ran to the Texas Theater, was seen by at least a dozen witnesses, and was not know to be the one missing from the TSBD.
Had Oswald kept his head, he might not have been caught that quickly and most likely would be in prison today, instead of dead.
The JFK RELOADED "game" made this clear. When he makes the turn, the target is moving more than when he is slowly heading away. If the game were still active, i would post the shots. I tried it both ways (basically, in the game, you are Oswald), and it was way easier when they were heading away from TSBD.
As someone who was old enough to remember that day, and someone who has visited the museum at the Texas Book Depository and seen the actual area Oswald had set up as the sniper perch ... the best shot he had was the one he took. He was hidden in a corner with boxes of books stacked around him ... the angle he had kept him from being detected from the street. A front on shot would have meant high exposure for the sniper.
I'm also a former Marine who qualified as rifle expert at the range. Oswald qualified as a marksman the lowest catagory, the next is sharpshooter then expert.
