Bugliosi: 53 Reasons It Was Lee Harvey Oswald [View all] Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 OP

Great idea. Don't have the book BootinUp Mar 2013 #1

(1) Oswald always visited Marina in Irving on a Friday. Nov 21 was the first Thursday visit ever. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #2

You omitted the part where he left all his money zappaman Mar 2013 #3

That's coming. n/t Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #5

(2) Oswald's claim to be getting curtain rods in Irving was an implausible lie. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #4

(3) Oswald told Frazier he would NOT be coming back to Irving on Friday night. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #6

(4) That night Oswald avoided Kennedy talk with Marina, a subject it was their custom to discuss. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #7

Kick! n/t zappaman Mar 2013 #8

(5) Friday morning, Oswald left almost all his cash and his wedding ring in Irving. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #9

Thanks for this thread! frogmarch Mar 2013 #10

(6) On Friday morning, Oswald placed a long paper-wrapped package in the back seat of Frazier's car. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #11

(7) Frazier noticed that for the first time on a return trip from Irving, Oswald brought no lunch. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #12

(8) On arrival at the TSBD, Oswald walked faster and ahead of Frazier for the first time ever. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #13

(9) For the first time ever, Oswald didn't read the paper in the TSBD domino room. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #14

Man..... Frank_Norris_Lives Mar 2013 #61

Not just daily routine. The trip to Irving was a weekly thing. n/t Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #64

(10) Oswald's pretense with a co-worker that he didn't know JFK's route Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #15

(11) Howard Brennan saw Lee Harvey Oswald fire the third shot that killed the President. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #16

Funny.... Frank_Norris_Lives Mar 2013 #60

What you've said here doesn't negate the fact that Brennan saw Oswald take the third shot. n/t Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #63

This is a weak point alcibiades_mystery Mar 2013 #68

Yes, that he wouldn't do the positive ID right then weakens this point. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #72

Right, bbut you and I would both probably discount any such testimony in a live criminal case alcibiades_mystery Mar 2013 #77

(12) Kennedy's assassin was at the now-infamous sixth-floor window. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #17

(13) During interrogation, Oswald put himself on the sixth floor at the time of the assassination. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #18

(14) Oswald's story of getting a Coke after hearing commotion of assassination is not sensible. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #19

(15) It makes no sense that Oswald the "political animal" had no interest in the President's death. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #20

I figured you needed more than one person pumping his own thread, so I'll add this... MrMickeysMom Mar 2013 #21

You seem to be spending a lot of time disproving OrwellwasRight Mar 2013 #128

Many of these are largely debunked by Enemy of the Truth, Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassin OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #149

"your implicaiton that I am feebleminded" - something you're importing to the conversation. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #160

You refuse to discuss the facts. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #163

Do you understand that 'credible evidence' and 'non-credible evidence' are legal terms? Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #165

Thank you for the legal lesson counselor. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #166

Oh, Sherry Fiester was present at the autopsy and was able to examine the body? n/t Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #167

Oh, you were? nt. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #168

I'll take that as your "No, Fiester was not." n/t Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #169

I'll take that as a no, Bugliosi was not as well. nt. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #173

So let's all acquiesce to those who were at the autopsy. n/t Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #176

um, no. that's the point. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #177

Also, there's a slight problem with the location Feister IDs as the site of the kill shot. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #170

Yes, because everything you believe is superior to what I believe. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #174

Very strange how you insist on making this personal Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #175

No, I don't insist on making this personal. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #178

You are misrepresenting the video in this response. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #179

Agree to disagree. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #180

You misquoting the video is not an "agree to disagree" moment. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #181

Again you ignore my post to focus on what you want to talk about. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #182

Well, I'm not impressed by someone who misrepresents the facts. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #183

I have not misrepresented any facts. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #184

Where is the post where I called you a liar? zappaman Apr 2013 #198

Repetition. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #233

Fact: You claimed a statement was made about the south overpass position. It was about the north. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #190

Fact: You posted the video and asked me to watch it. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #191

"What is also a fact is that I have told you I don't want to continue this conversation. " zappaman Apr 2013 #194

"KEEP accusing YOU"???? OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #226

No, you keep saying I called you a liar zappaman Apr 2013 #227

Show me the post where I said "you" called me a liar. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #230

Yes, some posters do. Hello pot. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #234

My mind is quite open to the facts and reasonable interpretations of them. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #202

I don't want you to consider any additional evidence. OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #217

Why? Because if I do, that conflicts with the little box you want to file me away in? Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #237

What? OrwellwasRight Apr 2013 #239

What, indeed. Bolo Boffin Apr 2013 #243

Not necessarily. OrwellwasRight Mar 2013 #117

Sure. Of course. Or they decline because OrwellwasRight Mar 2013 #126

Even all 53 of these together do not prove he acted alone. OrwellwasRight Mar 2013 #120

You are the one with a red herring in this thread, OrwellwasRight. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #123
