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

So, that's the blanket. It doesn't look to be full-size. And notice that the rifle is unassembled. And, I take from that the implication that the rifle was stored in the blanket that way.

As a behavior, I find it very strange and very unbelievable that Oswald would store his rifle that way, unassembled. When you think about how easy it would be for small parts to get lost, and not only lost, but damaged. Why would he do that? Because: nobody would. I mean, even if the intact rifle stuck out a little bit from the blanket, so what? It would be infinitely more stable and secure as well as practical and convenient to keep the rifle in one piece. 

So, are they saying that just for the sake of sneaking the rifle into Ruth Paine's garage, he disassembled it? So, he disassembled it to sneak it into Ruth Paine's garage when really she was mostly Marina's friend, not his. He didn't even call her by her first name. She was 32 years old, and he called "Mrs. Paine." And he's hiding a rifle in her garage? 

Do you have any idea how small that house was? It was only two bedrooms, and it was a one-car garage. Yet, he snuck into the garage that evening before 9 PM (because he and Marina were both in bed by 9 PM) and nobody noticed? Nobody missed him? Nobody asked about him? It's unbelievable.  

The whole story is just so preposterous and far-fetched that no mature and rational person could possibly believe it. It is just a decree, a bloodied decree.
