Lemme say again, I’m neutral on this topic, usually I call out the Conspiracy side.

I mean, if we go with the Conspiracy side which is exciting, we almost have to discount the murder of J.D. Tippit and the attempted shooting of General Walker.

For the record, General Walker if you research the matter, thinks there was more than one person outside his home or at least, there were two people sizing up his house in the days before the attempt.

Note this from the Pro-Warren Report McAdams website:

” At approximately 9 p.m., on April 10, 1963, in Dallas, Tex.,
Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, an active and controversial figure on
the American political scene since his resignation from the U.S.
Army in 1961, narrowly escaped death when a rifle bullet fired
from outside his home passed near his head as he was seated at
his desk. There were no eyewitnesses, although a 14-year-old boy
in a neighboring house claimed that immediately after the
shooting he saw two men, in separate cars, drive out of a church
parking lot adjacent to Walker’s home. A friend of Walker’s
testified that two nights before the shooting he saw “two men
around the house peeking in windows.”

Walker too is in the Warren Report, all online if one wants to search it out. I believe Gen. Walker continued to believe the shooting of the Prez. was a Conspiracy. Just the facts, no judgement on my behalf.

Now the curtain rods?? Official records seem to indicate it probably wasn’t a long bad nor a bag that could even hold a dissassembled rifle.

Buell Wesley Frazier is the one that gave Oswald a ride that morning with the bag, curtain rods or what have you:

Warren Report:

“Mr. BALL - How wide was the package?
Mr. FRAZIER - Well, I would say the package was about that wide.
Mr. BALL - How wide would you say that would be?
Mr. FRAZIER - Oh, say, around 5 inches, something like that. 5, 6 inches or there. I don’t— “

Or this:

“Perhaps Oswald had lied to Frazier about the curtain rods, and the bag contained the rifle that was later discovered on the sixth floor of the TSBD. Against this is the testimony of Frazier and (Linnie Mae) Randle, who each stated on two occasions that the bag they saw was much too short to have contained the rifle, even in its disassembled state. Frazier also claimed that the bag Oswald had carried was a standard grocery store bag rather than a hand–made package like the one that the Dallas police brought out of the building”

This link seems somewhat neutral even if I think in a few instances, they side with the conspiracists imho.

So like everything in this case, it’s not clear about the bag. On the size of the bag, I’d tend to side with what Mr. Frazier who gave Oswald a ride had to say.

A long post sorry but the links are there for all to see for themselves.
