  Jack Taylor He was clearly taking orders that day. I agree that's why he went to the Texas Theatre. So don't you think he was probably ordered to be inside and not be out front when the motorcade past?

  Ralph Cinque Jack, I consider that a fair question, and I have had plenty of time to think about it. Surely, they didn't want Oswald to go outside. But, did they order him not to? Well, we don't know. Perhaps they did, and if they did, then he obviously didn't do what he was told. Maybe he thought that just standing in the doorway, a mere foot from the door, didn't count. It's not like he walked out to the street. We can only speculate about this. But, I also think it's possible that, as much as they wanted him to stay inside, they did NOT order him to. And the reason I say that is because with Oswald not knowing that they were going to kill Kennedy that day- and he really didn't know, which we know from the fact that he asked Junior Jarman why people were gathering on the sidewalk outside- that it would have been awfully hard for them to come up with a plausible reason why he shouldn't go outside. When I try to think of one, I don't come up with anything. So, I think they probably took a chance on that. However, what I also believe, very strongly, is that they had someone in that doorway to act as a blocker- to keep Oswald from venturing beyond the doorway, because that would have ruined everything. And that person was probably Bill Shelley.
