People here who are resisting Oswald in the doorway really have no reason to resist it. The photographic evidence is way over the top. Then there is "out with Bill Shelley" in front, which was Oswald's spoken alibi.
But then, there isn't even any other place that he could have been.
In other words, they're not fighting it on the basis of: "Oswald wasn't in the doorway because I know he was at xxx."
There is no xxx. He wasn't in the 1st floor lunch room at 12:30 because he went there way before 12:30, and it doesn't take that long to eat a cheese sandwich and an apple. And he wasn't in the second floor lunch room at 12:30 because he was just arriving there at 12:31 when Baker saw him. He was just going into the lunch room, and there is no basis to say he was already there 70 seconds before.
And, if you are an Oswald defender, why would you think Oswald would have any less desire to see the President and First Lady than the other employees? It would be pretty eccentric, don't you think, for him to get off work at 11:45, knowing that the President would be arriving at 12:30 and put off eating his lunch for 45 minutes and thereby miss it? Why would he do that? On what basis do you want to attribute that behavior to him?
I'm disappointed that there is a lot of sclerotic thinking among people who have been at this for a long time. That, I believe, is the problem; that they already have their minds made up, where they consider the issue closed. The issue isn't closed. It's the minds that are closed.
So, I am asking you to watch the video, but first put your preconceptions aside.
If you have no basis to claim he was somewhere other than the doorway, why close your mind to it?
