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

Richard Hooke, how can you be so brazen? Why can't you see that if Oswald knew that Kennedy was about to be shot that it was CRIMINAL of him NOT to try to stop it? 

Why can't you see that it wasn't enough for Oswald to NOT shoot Kennedy himself? With foreknowledge of the assassination, his legal and moral obligation was to try to save the man's life by doing everything in his power to stop it. But, according to you, he did NOTHING to try to stop it- he just passively watched it happen. 

And when I say stop it, I don't mean sending imaginary telexes, for which you have no evidence he ever sent. I mean at the moment of crisis, the last minute, him doing something dramatic- whatever it took- to stop the damn thing from happening. 

Why can't you see the necessity of that?  

Why can't you see that you are making Oswald COMPLICIT in the murder of President Kennedy? Why can't you see that you are making him GUILTY of murdering Kennedy- without firing a shot. You don't have to fire a shot. You can be guilty as an accomplice without firing.  

Just because he didn't add his bullets to the gunfire of the killers, he didn't do anything to stop their bullets. Therefore, by every standard of decency and morality and law, he was guilty of the murder. 

Why can't you see it? Other people can see it. They have no trouble seeing it, grasping it, recognizing it. But, you have got this twisted idea that Oswald could do nothing at the last minute, which was a betrayal of Kennedy and the country.    

And, if Osawld was an under-cover agent who had infiltrated the plot to kill Kennedy, when was he going to pull the plug on the operation? Doesn't the under-cover agent usually do that BEFORE the intended victim perishes? When was Oswald going to do it? You've got Oswald intending to fly out of the country with the killers from Redbird Airport? So, when was Oswald going to turn the tables on them? Ever?

And when was Oswald going to come clean to the authorities and tell them everything he knew about what really happened and his under-cover role in it? When they were strapping him into the electric chair? 

Why, do you have Oswald endlessly lying, lying, lying to  authorities? 

In the finale of Seinfeld, Jerry and his friends got prosecuted and convicted and sentenced to prison for not going to the aid of a man who was being robbed on the street in broad daylight. The assailant didn't even have a gun or other weapon. And he was alone- it was just him. Jerry and his three friends could easily have stopped him. All they had to do was rush over there, and the guy would have fled.  But, they didn't, and they were arrested under the Good Samaritan law in which they were expected to go to the aid of a person in peril.

In that case, the perpetrator was only interested in stealing the property and cash of the victim. But, in Dealey Plaza, the perps were about to end Kennedy's life. So, how much greater was Oswald's legal and moral obligation to intervene?

Richard, you are so sick and twisted and disturbed. I implore my enemies to get this post up on their sites, to help spread the word that Richard Hooke has gone completely mad. Heaven help you, Richard.
