A CONSPIRACY THEORIST SAID:
Lee Harvey Oswald - "Well, let's see now. I'll probably be facing 20 or 30 Secret Service agents, a few dozen Dallas cops and a dozen Sheriff's deputies. Guess I better take three bullets and leave the pistol at home."
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
But it's hard to argue with total success.
Lee Harvey Oswald (with four bullets in his rifle, not three) did, in fact, kill the President, and he did, in fact, escape the building without needing his revolver. He no doubt realized that his status as an employee in the building would clear him temporarily....and it did.
If you're saying that Oswald's movements were totally controlled by the "Patsy Framers Of America, Inc.", then why didn't those patsy-framers tell LHO to take his revolver to work on November 22? And why didn't they tell him to take more than four bullets for his rifle?
As usual, a conspiracy theorist thinks he knows what happened on 11/22/63 (such as Oswald being merely an innocent patsy in the whole day's events), and the conspiracy theorist will second-guess every move made by everybody (including the movements of the real assassin, Lee Oswald).
And since Oswald's November 22 movements and actions don't meet with the expectations of conspiracy-happy kooks, this must be a sign that Oswald is innocent (despite the evidence that vividly demonstrates otherwise).
If given a second chance perhaps Oswald would perform the Presidential assassination in a more orderly and predictable fashion that would satisfy the majority of conspiracy mongers around the world.
Addendum:
It's my own opinion that Lee Oswald possessed the following mindset when he left for work with his Carcano rifle in tow on November 22, 1963:
"IF I AM AFFORDED A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO SHOOT THE PRESIDENT AND IF I'M SOMEHOW LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE WHOLE SIXTH FLOOR OF THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY TO MYSELF WHEN THE PRESIDENT DRIVES BY THE BUILDING, I'LL TAKE SOME SHOTS AT PRESIDENT KENNEDY. IF NOT, I'LL FORGET IT."
The above simulated mindset is almost certainly the mindset possessed by Lee Harvey Oswald right up to 12:30 PM on 11/22/63.
