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

This is a comment I made on Randy Gunter's Facebook page, The Kennedy Assassinations. He joked about my tweaking Lance's name to Upperpunk, but he didn't seem to mind. Oh, and by the way, Punk: on his own initiative, Randy has blocked you from joining his group. You see, he, like many others, realizes that you're not really an Oswald defender. If you were, you would defend Oswald. 


I like to get colorful with the names sometimes, especially those of Upperpunk's ilk. But, there is no exonerating Oswald without providing him an alibi. And, alibi is defined as: 1.A form of defense whereby a defendant attempts to prove that he or she was elsewhere when the crime in question was committed. For Oswald, that means the doorway. Where else? He wasn't sitting alone in the lunch room at 12:30 twiddling his thumbs or contemplating his navel. He had already eaten, and his Coke drinking was to come later. He said he was "out with Bill Shelley in front". That should mean something to people who defend him. And, what is the basis for thinking that Lee Harvey Oswald, of all people, would have NO interest in seeing Kennedy? Oswald lived in the Soviet Union. He was married to a Russian woman who had a Russian family. And he, himself, had many friends in Russia. We almost went to nuclear war with Russia just a year earlier. If the Joint Chiefs had had their way, we would have. The only one who stopped it was JFK. Don't you think the Cuban Missile Crisis must have impacted Oswald and his wife? So, why wouldn't he want to go out into that doorway to lay eyes on Kennedy? What do you have to suggest for him to be doing that would have overruled that? There were 75 employees of the TSBD, and the vast majority of them went outside to see the President. Of the few who remained inside, most of them watched the motorcade from the windows. What I want to know is: HOW DARE ANYONE claim to know that Oswald had no interest in seeing JFK? It's not a default that you're entitled to. Of course Oswald had no interest because he was eccentric, withdrawn, anti-social, detached, etc. etc. etc. Two words; the second is "you".
