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

A guy named Chris on McAdams' forum repeated a falsehood that I have heard quite often, which is, that Fraizer drive Oswald to work every day. 

The fact is that on the weekends that Oswald went to Irving to visit his family that he rode with Wesley Frazier. I don't know how many times he did it, and I think it would be a good thing to find out. 

But, there is no evidence that Frazier ever went to Oswald's room- and I mean to neither of his boarding rooms. There is no evidence that Frazier had anything to do with Oswald getting to work from his Dallas domicile.

Remember that Frazier commuted from Irving every day, and he lived on the same street as the Paines. So, it was very easy and convenient for Oswald to tag along. He wasn't putting the guy out. But, the idea that Frazier was swinging by Oswald's room every morning to pick him up and then drive him home every evening is ridiculous. It has never been claimed; it has never been asserted by Frazier; and it is totally unreasonable to assume it. 

Who would do a thing like that? They weren't that close of friends. In fact, they weren't really friends at all; they were co-workers. 

And even if they were friends, who would have the nerve to say:

"Look, Wes, I have a favor to ask. Drive out to Oak Cliff every morning on your way to work to pick me up, and then drive me home again in the evenings. Would you mind?"

Frankly, that would be too much to ask even of a friend. Would you put a friend out like that?  But they weren't friends; they were just acquaintances; co-workers. 

There comes a point in life where you become an adult, and you don't exploit others- not even your friends. 

So, how did Oswald get to work every morning? He must have taken the bus. How else would he go? And he must have gone home by bus as well. 

And that's why it's hardly a big surprise that he sought to take the bus home on November 22.  Why not? It's how he went home every day.  

And why wouldn't the conspirators let him travel that way? They wanted him to be the lone gunman; so letting him use public transportation made perfect sense. Why not? How was it going to hurt anything? What did they have to give him a ride in a private car for? That conflicted with their own scenario; the story they were trying to tell.

I pointed out to Chris that it is very important to be scrupulously honest and scrupulously accurate about the facts of the case. You can't make anything up, and you can't assume something just because you like it. You cant play fast and loose with the facts.
