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

 Do you realize that Dallas Police never told us what Oswald said about what he did when he left his boarding room? They told us what he said about how he got to his room, but nothing after that. They must have asked him why he went to the theater, and he must have told them something, but they never told us. He must have told them how he got to the theater, and what time he got there, but they never told us. It's just a big void in the police record.

And then, when Fritz, Bookhout, and Hosty were questioned by the Warren Commission, they were never asked what Oswald said about those things. Are you OK with that? Because: I am not OK with it. I smell a rat. I think that whatever Oswald told them must have been VERY exonerating.

First, let's consider what my friend John Armstrong says about it. He says that Oswald was driven to the theater. He says that because he talked to Butch Burroughs, the Popcorn Man, and he told John that Oswald was in the theater by 1:07. Oswald could not possibly have walked there in that amount of time. And John points out that if Oswald had walked that 1.1 miles from his boarding house to the theater, it's likely that somebody would have saw him and reported it to the Police.

So, who could have driven Oswald to the theater? John thinks it was the cop who pulled up and tapped his horn a couple times outside the boarding house, and that was according to his landlady, Earlene Roberts. And that cop may have been Tippit. And if it wasn't Tippit, maybe it was Captain Westbrook, whom John suspects was involved in the Tippit murder. The fact is: we don't have anyone else to go to but these guys. Oswald had no friends. No friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends. We can't make one up. It most likely was that cop who went to Oswald's boarding house.

Now obviously, if a cop- any cop- drove Oswald to the theater, the entire lone gunman thesis is destroyed. It means that individuals within the Dallas Police Department were involved in the plot to kill Kennedy and frame Oswald. And it explains why law enforcement dodged this whole subject.

And it makes it absolutely certain that Oswald did not shoot Tippit. If he was driven from his boarding room to the theater, then he wasn't at 10th and Patton at 1:15.

And nobody has ever provided a reason why Oswald would have been at 10th and Patton. WC Attorney David Belin was asked where Oswald was going when he was at 10th and Patton, and he said, "Mexico." The arrogance and hubris of that is amazing. Belin just pulled it from out his ass and plopped it down. That's the kind of people who comprised the Warren Commission. There is 4-letter word for them: EVIL.

This is a graphic from John Armstrong's website. At that time, there was a walkway between two of the buildings, and behind the buildings was an alley. John believes that the cop drove into the alley and let Oswald out of the police car there. Then, Oswald used the walkway between the buildings to reach Jefferson Blvd. Then, he turned right and went to the theater entrance.

This graphic from John's website I made for him. He told me waht he wanted, and I made it for him.

I don't consider myself the most knowledgable person about the Tippit shooting, but I do know that Oswald didn't kill him, and Oswald wasn't there. Oswald was never at 10th and Patton, and he had no reason to go there. Oswald was definitely in the theater when Tippit was shot. Whatever Oswald told Police about how he got from his boarding room to the theater must have completely vindicated him.
