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

John Kornfeind:  The people who say Oswald was on the steps have to be questioned. Do you assume he saw that JFK was dead? He had to know he was the suspect, the patsy. Why would you head home and pick up a revolver, meet a contact (supposedly) by rushing in to the theater and not buying a ticket when by this time he had to know it was a double cross?
He knew he was sheep dipped as a Communist. Texans hate Commies. If he really did witness JFK's death wouldn't he be on a bus to Mexico for real this time? If he was only in the lunchroom would he have behaved differently than as a murder witness? 

Ralph Cinque: John, you are being very presumptuous. You are connecting all kinds of dots that don't need to be connected. Oswald was definitely on the steps, but what he saw and what he knew to have happened before he left the steps is, to me, uncertain. That's because he had to leave those steps early in order to get to the lunch room ahead of Baker and without rushing. If he rushed he would have been out of breath, and he wasn't. And, if he was running through the building, it would have stood out. Somebody would have noticed him or heard him. We know Oswald was on the steps up to the time Altgens clicked his camera, but I maintain he left within one or two seconds of that. Not longer. It may have been before the fatal head shot took place. You can see in the Altgens photo that no spectator was reacting to Kennedy being shot. Even people who were close to Kennedy were waving, smiling, and clapping; acting happy; oblivious to the reality. So, if Oswald left for the lunch room within a second of that, he may not have known that Kennedy was shot. But then again, maybe he did; I just don't know for sure. I think it's wise to assume that Oswald was acting on orders in regard to everything he did post-assassination. He went to the lunch room because he was told to do so. There's a good chance that he interacted with Jack Ruby out front (several witnesses said so), and it's possible that Ruby gave him the handgun with the defective firing pin. If not, then Ruby must have told him to go home to get it. And I suspect that Ruby told him to go to the Texas Theater. You realize that Ruby was in the theater, just a few rows behind Oswald. George Applin said so, although he died mysteriously. But, Oswald never snuck into the theater; he bought a ticket. The other Oswald snuck in.  Read John Armstrong and Jim Douglass. Oswald was in the doorway, and it is beyond doubt. What, do you think Lovelady looked and dressed that much like Oswald? Maybe in another universe, but not this one.
