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

"If they know the President of the United States is coming to their town, and that President was John F. Kennedy, and you tell them the route of the presidential motorcade is printed in the paper you're handing to them.  I think people would be able to remember the route because they would want to know ahead of time so that they could scope out a good spot to see JFK" Proscenium-stuffing Backass


Stupid Backass. You can't assume that anyone handed Oswald the paper and said, "Be sure to catch that motorcade route." You can't assume that anyone told him anything. He just picked up the newspaper and started breezing through it. You can't assume he had Kennedy on his mind at all. Had he done that at all, he may or may not have caught sight of the motorcade route if it was just buried in the text. To assume outright that if he looked at the paper he must have saw the motorcade route and realized that it would pass the TSBD is lone-nut bull shit. So naturally, Backes endorses it.
