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

John McAdams: "When Marina Oswald heard about the assassination of President Kennedy, she immediately went and checked to see if the rifle Oswald owned was still in the Paine's garage. She saw the blanket on the floor and did not bother to open it, feeling relieved."

What the mother pluck? Anyone who sees a blanket on the floor is going to know instantly whether there's a rifle in it or not. A rifle can't get lost in a blanket. Is McAdams saying that Marina saw an empty blanket on the floor but mistook it for one with a rifle in it?  

McAdams cont.: "Later, the police came to the Paine residence and asked Mrs. Oswald whether Oswald had a rifle he kept at the Paine residence. Mrs. Paine first answered no but when she translated the question for Mrs. Oswald, she replied that there was a rifle in the blanket. The officer picked up the blanket and it fell limp. Mrs. Oswald turned white."

Again: are you completely and totally out of your mind, McAdams? You're saying that Marina Oswald saw an empty blanket on the floor, and she thought there was this in it?

What have I told you, McAdams, about my dislike for unrealism in the JFK assassination? I think I've made my position about it perfectly clear. Are you living in the same pink world as Mark O'Blazney? That narrative about Marina Oswald is preposterous! NOBODY could view a blanket on the floor which contained nothing and think that it contained a rifle. Not even a small child would believe a ridiculous story like that.    

You're not an adult, McAdams, and your forum is not an adult forum. And if you're a professor, you're a disgrace to higher education.
