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

Doesn't it bother you that nowhere in the Warren Report or anywhere else does it say anything about what Oswald told police about how he got from his room to the Texas Theater? 

It bothers me. It bothers me a lot.

Oswald denied shooting Tippit. And if he denied shooting Tippit, then there is no reason to think he went anywhere near 10th and Patton. He left his room at 1:03 pm. According to Butch Burroughs, he was in the Texas Theater by 1:07 pm. So, if that's true, then he could not have gotten there on foot, as it was a mile away. 

John Armstrong thinks that the most likely thing is that Oswald was driven to the Texas Theater by the cop who tapped his horn twice outside his room, as reported by Earlene Roberts. 

Obviously, we have no proof of it, but I do think John Armstrong's supposition is the most reasonable.

And it makes sense from the operational standpoint of the conspirators. We know that Tippit was killed about 1:15 and not by Oswald. But, if Oswald was on the street somewhere else, say if he was walking to the theater, someone could have seen him AT THAT TIME. If he took a bus to the theater, someone on the bus may have been able to ID him. If he called a cab and went to the theater that way, the cab driver may have surfaced. It was crucial to the conspirators that Oswald be "available" to kill Tippit at 1:15. 

But, if you get him into a theater, which is dark, and where people are focused on a movie, the other patrons are likely to pay no attention to him. 

Of course, Butch Burroughs, the concessionaire, wasn't focused on a movie, and he remembered Oswald. He remembered that Oswald was there by 1:07. But just think: we didn't hear about Butch Burroughs until Jim Douglass published JFK and the Unspeakable in 2010. And if Jim hadn't come along, who is to say Butch Burroughs ever would have surfaced? It wasn't inevitable. 

John Armstrong thinks that it may have been JD Tippit who drove Oswald to the Texas Theater and then proceeded to his death. He points to two things: 1) Earlene Roberts reported seeing 107 on the police car, but Tippit's police car number was 10. So, is it possible that she saw a 10 and then misconstrued something as the 7? And 2) Tippit's police car was the only Dallas Police car that was unaccounted for at the time.

Oswald could not have traveled that far that fast on foot. And even if it were possible, it would have been a huge risk to let him do so. Only one person seeing him would have cast grave doubt on his killing Tippit. But, it was broad daylight on city streets, so perhaps quite a few would have seen him. 

But, the most eerie thing of all is that officialdom has never said a word about what Oswald said about how he got from his room to the theater. How do you leave out a thing as important as that especially after you poured over how he got from the TSBD to his room?
