You never answered the questions in post 174, typical, for the conspiracy crowd. Your claim that Oswald was a “patsy” and calling everyone who points to Oswald as Kool-Aid drinkers doesn’t reinforce your “argument”.
I don’t know if you’re just a cop-hater or not, but explain the evidence against Oswald in post 174 and explain his killing of Officer Tippett and explain why he punched an officer in the face, shouted “This is it!” and pulled a gun on the Dallas police officers in the movie theatre. Odd reaction for an innocent “patsy”. The Dallas PD showed great restraint considering they were apprehending a suspected cop-killer who had just punched a cop in the face and pulled a gun, a shiner and a scrape on the forehead from being taken to the ground would be the least you can expect.
Actually Oswald is a sad and tragic figure, his mother was a mess, moving constantly, by the time he was in the 9th grade he had attended ELEVEN different schools, often being truant and had little to no friends. Oswald’s mother moved 21 times by the time he escaped his mother by going into the Marines by age 17, he tried to get in at 16 but was rejected. He idolized his older brother who also escaped their rotten mother by enlisting ASAP. As a teenager he was already infatuated by Marxism and spent his sad, lonely times reading Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto. The boy was troubled as troubled could be, his brother is fully convinced he acted alone, even conspiracy hero Mark Lane now believes Oswald acted alone.
You can continue to act the buffoon all you want, the only people you will impress are other people who are uninformed. It doesn’t mean you and others aren’t smart people overall or talented in whatever your field of endeavor is, but on this subject the Kool-Aid is strong, except it’s the conspiracy crowd doing the drinking.
Please check in after you watch that documentary and tell me what you think.
One year it is the “magic bullet” another year it is the “police radio acoustics,” and so on.
I know that reasonable people do often disagree.
Whatever role Oswald may have had in the murder, I simply will never concede that he acted alone (if at all) in the matter. It defies logic, and in my view common sense to hold such a position based on the evidence. My eyes do not always lie to me.
I think that it is simply awful what happened, and I also think that the Kennedy assassination brought an end to the greater potential of this nation.
The later murders of RFK and MLK have largely added to that and to tremendous cynicism that (I sense) prevails (particularly on the left). The fact is (I believe it is a fact) that people are completely jaded concerning the whitewash of the JFK murder conspiracy.
I have read a bit on the matter, and I happen to think that the Oliver Stone flick (for example) (and threads such as this one )has done a great disservice to all Americans. No surprise there.
As for me being a smart ass, certainly I have proved that long ago out here.
I wish that I had more time to engage.
