Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

There is also the theory that the driver just delivered Oswald to his room on Beckley and had nothing to do with getting Oswald to the theater. He just dropped him off at home and said, "See ya." 

Well, that doesn't work either. Oswald could not have gotten home before 1:00, maybe a little later. Then, he was inside for several minutes. He changed his pants and presumably got his pistol. We don't know what else he could have been doing. 

But, it had to be at least 1:03 when he left, and Butch Burroughs reported seeing Oswald in the Texas Theater at 1:07. And even if Butch was off by a little, it wouldn't matter. It was over a mile, and Oswald could not have walked there in time. 

AVERAGE WALKING SPEED FOR FITNESS WALKERS

What is a good average walking speed for fitness walking? The answer depends on a few factors, such as your age, fitness level, leg length, terrain (flat or hilly) and gender (research has shown that men move faster than women).

In general, it is between 3.0 – 3.5 miles per hour which means you can walk one mile in 17 to 20 minutes.

Besides, if Oswald wasn't staying at his room, why would his friend leave him there? Wouldn't they discuss it as they were driving? Aren't the odds extremely great that since Oswald was only going to be in his room a few minutes at most that his friend would wait for him to come out and take him to wherever he needed to go? 

So, you can't make it that a friend picked Oswald up in Dealey Plaza just to drop him off at his room. That makes no sense. It doesn't play Peoria, and it doesn't play here.
