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

What?????   You think this helps your case??????

So, once she glanced out the window- and we all know what a glance is- and you think that establishes that Oswald intended to ride the bus? That he was going to ride the bus until he changed his mind and did something else?

Well, apparently, Earlene Roberts didn't think so because she said she didn't see which direction he went when he left there.  But, if he got on a bus, there's only one direction he could have gone, and that is the direction that the bus was going. The whole implication of that statement is that he was NOT waiting for the bus, that he happened to be there when she saw him, but it was unrelated to the bus. 

Now, do you really want to argue with that? Do you really want to argue that Oswald intended to get on a bus but then changed his mind? How can you argue that he was about to get on a bus that would have been traveling down Beckley going the same direction from which he came? And then, instead, he suddenly changed his mind, not only about taking the bus but about which direction he wanted to go? And he proceeded down Patton instead? Had a complete change of mind, did he? You claim to know this?

And there is no way that that bus transfer ticket would have been good going that direction anyway. The whole idea of the transfer ticket is to continue your progression- not to turn around and go back from whence you came. You have to pay for the return trip. It wasn't a round-trip ticket. 

But, you actually want to maintain from that sparse testimony that Oswald had the state of mind of getting on a bus that would have been heading 180 degrees from the direction he went?  

She said the bus stop was to the right on the same side of the street as the house. That was the direction from which Oswald came. He wound up going the exact opposite direction. 

And regardless, he definitely could not use the bus transfer ticket going in that direction. It wasn't an all-day pass by which you could travel around the city for one fare. 

What a stupid fool you are. You keep playing these cards like they're Aces, and they turn out to be 3s. 

There are no grounds to assume Oswald had any consciousness of riding a bus again. The idea that he moved the transfer ticket from one shirt to another is preposterous.
