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

Backes, you are not only stupid; you have no ability to think at all. You can't analyze anything. You don't even know how the process begins. 

They interviewed Oswald, right?

They asked him questions, right?

They must have asked him how he left Dealey Plaza, right?

And he must have told them the truth, right? Because you claim to know as well as I do that he didn't do anything wrong that day. He didn't kill Kennedy, and he didn't kill Tippit. So, if he didn't kill Kennedy, and he didn't kill Tippit, he certainly had no reason to lie about how he left Dealey Plaza. It wasn't a crime for him to leave Dealey Plaza. It wasn't crime to have a friend drive him out of Dealey Plaza. It may have been against the rules of the TSBD for him to leave when he did, but it certainly wasn't against the law. So, he had no reason not to tell the truth about it. In fact, the very worst thing an innocent person can do is to start lying to the police. It is very important that an innocent person be completely truthful. 

So, we have to assume that they asked him, and he told them.

So, what do you figure? That Oswald told them that Mr. X picked him up in Dealey Plaza and that's how he got home? And why don't you finish the story because if you don't believe the bus and cab rides happened, which wound up taking him home, why should I assume that you think he went home at all? If you're willing to reject those elements of the story perhaps you reject the going home part too. So, where did this mystery driver take Oswald from Dealey Plaza, Backes? You don't even know how to think coherently about your own stories. You've got all kinds of things missing. 

But, we'll put that aside for now because I don't know what the pluck you think about that. But, the record shows, from multiple reports, that Oswald said he rode the bus and cab. But you're saying that Fritz and Hosty and Bookhout just made that up, put words in Oswald's mouth, but that he really said something very different, but they just cast that aside and said that he said he rode the bus and cab. That seems to be what you'res saying, Backes. 

So, what exactly did he tell them, Backass? Did Oswald tell police that he was picked up in Dealey Plaza by someone driving a private car?

But think about it. If he said that to police, then wouldn't the police say:

"But, how was that arranged? Didn't you go to work this morning expecting to stay there the whole day? You said that you didn't kill Kennedy or know anything about it, so I presume you expected to work all day. So, you certainly did not arrange in advance to leave work at 12:35, did you? So, when did you make the arrangement? Did you do it after the assassination? The President was shot at 12:30. A minute and a half later you were spotted in the snack room. When the Officer and Truly left, you got a Coke. Then you passed Mrs. Reid. Then you went downstairs. Did you call somebody then and ask to be picked up? And don't you fucking lie to me because we can check the phone records to confirm the call. But, if that's what happened, how could the person possibly get there so fast? Because he wasn't expecting it either, right? This was out of the blue for him too, right? What, was he just a few blocks away? And what was he doing there? He couldn't have been waiting for you. Why was he so available? Doesn't he work? And why did you need a ride from him? You don't own a car, and you travel by bus all the fucking time. You go home by bus every single day. So, why did you decide that today you needed to be picked up in a private car?"

Now, I'm no Columbo, but that's how I would have followed up. So, what did Oswald say? Hey! I don't know! It's your call, Backass! This is your fucking script, not mine. This is all bull shit, and I'm not going to wade through it. 

So, Oswald says whatever he says, and then he gets taken away by Sims and Boyd for the lineup. 

So then what? You have got to keep going with your story, Backes. You can't stop. You can't leave anything out. Does Hosty or Bookhout turn to the others and say:

"OK, listen. We have to suppress what he just said about being picked up in Dealey Plaza. That's because we want him to be perceived as the lone gunman, and it's going to look lousy if he had a getaway driver. You hearing me? So, forget that. Let's just say that he rode a bus, but in vain because it got him nowhere. So, he got off, and after that he took a cab home. So, that's our story, and we're sticking to it. Of course, we're going to have to find the guy who picked him up and kill him because otherwise he's going to be harboring a secret for the rest of his life which could torpedo everything. We can't be living with that hanging over our heads for the next 50 years. No way."

And how'd they get the transfer ticket entered into evidence at 4 PM? Where did it come from? And how'd they get Sims and Boyd to go along with claiming that they found it on Oswald? Were Sims and Boyd in on it all along, or was it a last minute thing? 

Fritz: Listen, guys, I need a favor. I want you to say you found this bus transfer ticket in Oswald's pocket.

Sims: What? We can't do that. What's he going to say? He knows whether or not he had a bus transfer ticket in his pocket. We'll just be informing him- out loud- that we're out to get him and committing crimes to do it.

Fritz: So what? He'll be dead in a couple days anyway. Trust me.

Boyd: But, what if he's not? And what if he gets to talk to somebody between now and then and tells him? This could blow up on us. 

I'll let you finish it, Backass, because it's your stupid story. You're such a dolt. As I said at the beginning, you're not just stupid; you don't know how to think at all. You're brain-dead, Backes.
