In reply to the discussion: Why has the JFK anniversary meant a push to get total buy-in on the Warren Report? [View all]stopbush
(24,807 posts)yes, let's look: Ruby spent 3 years and 2 months in prison before dying of cancer. So what, exactly, "happened" to him?
How did they know about Oswald so quickly?:
1. the CIA & FBI had already had their eyes on him
2. he was the ONLY employee at the TSBD to go missing after the assassination. A roll call was taken and Oswald was gone.
3. Oswald fit the description of eyewitnesses who saw him shooting from the TSBD
4. He murderer a cop in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses
5. he ducked into a theater without paying, was spotted by neighboring store employees doing so and the theater's ticket seller called the cops
6. when the cops show up, he resists arrest, pulls his revolver and tries to shoot at the arresting officers
7. within 12 hours, they had traced the Carcano rifle's serial number back to Klein's store in Chicago which identified Oswald as the person who purchased the rifle
8. they made a trip out to Ruth Paine's house where Marina confirmed that Oswald owned a rifle which he kept in the garage. A search of the garage found no rifle.
9. while in custody, Oswald told numerous provable lies to the police, like saying he didn't own a rifle
10. Oswald's palm print was found on the rifle in an area where it could only have been placed while the rifle was disassembled
I could go on and on, but doing so is throwing pearls to swine in the case of most CTists.
"You want to kill someone, you want them to be going slow."
How about, you want to kill someone, you:
1. buy a scoped rifle and a revolver
2. buy ammo for the weapons
3. go out to a firing range and practice your shooting
4. take a practice run shooting at Gen Walker
5. flee the scene of the crime after committing it
6. resist arrest when confronted by authorities
7. tell a bunch of provable lies to the police
Your apologizing for the bastard that killed JFK is disgusting.
