CHRISTINA FLOWERS SAID:
During Mr Oswald's nighttime press conference, a lot of loud chair noise was heard going on in the background in the audio.
Someone in authority then yells, "At ease!"
The chair noises then cease and Oswald continues his answers to the press. As Oswald was stating "No, no one has said that to me yet", someone loudly interrupts him and states, "Nobody said what! Nobody said what!"
Oswald then looks straight toward the general position that Jack Ruby was standing in and then Oswald tightens and purses his lips.
Has anyone ever heard anything at all about who that may have been making all that racket with the metal chairs and who it may have been who stated loudly "Nobody said what! Nobody said what!"..?
The reason I ask is because if it was Jack Ruby himself who was the one making all of the racket with the metal folding chairs, who then was told to stop, and if it was Jack Ruby himself who was the one who interrupted Oswald by saying "Nobody said what", then we could have all been witnessing a major witness intimidation episode on live national TV during that nighttime press conference.
Jack Ruby of course is the one who finally did shut Oswald up for good one and a half days later on that fateful Sunday morning of that very same weekend.
If anyone ever runs across a reference in their reading material or could ask around to their colleagues as to who that may have been, could you please post it here in this thread and thank you in advance.

BILL BROWN SAID:
In my opinion, Oswald tightens and purses his lips upon hearing Chief Curry say "Okay men. Okay." To me, this is obvious. Curry was calling for an end to the press conference and Oswald was not ready for it to be over just yet.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
"The major reaction that I see from Oswald at his famous midnight press conference is more DISGUST and ANNOYANCE. Poor Lee Harvey truly looks annoyed and PUT OUT when he's being removed from that room right after his brief press conference.
Now, when analyzing this a little bit more, since all reasonable people who have studied the JFK assassination know beyond any and all doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President Kennedy, this immutable FACT of Oswald's guilt HAS to mean that Oswald could not possibly have been VERY surprised by the news that he was being officially charged with the President's murder.
Knowing that he assassinated Kennedy AND that he had left a popcorn trail of physical evidence behind on the sixth floor of the Book Depository Building AND that he had been arrested earlier in the day on a charge of murdering a policeman, Oswald therefore couldn't possibly have thought that he WOULDN'T eventually be officially charged with the President's murder too.
Unless Oswald was completely retarded (which he certainly wasn't), he had to realize that Presidential assassins aren't normally given just a light slap on the wrist and a $10 fine for having assassinated a U.S. President.
Given these undeniable facts regarding Oswald's guilt, there's no way that Lee Harvey could have been shocked very much (if at all) when the reporter told him he had already been charged with JFK's assassination.
Here's my guess (and I fully admit this is just a wild guess, and I certainly could be wrong about this)---
Oswald looked a little bit surprised possibly due to the fact that a NEWS REPORTER was breaking the news to him that he was being charged with the death of the President.
This was probably a very unusual case where the prisoner (being held in a police station, with policemen and detectives all around him for ten hours!) first learned of a murder charge against him from a news reporter, instead of first learning of that murder charge from the police themselves. This possibly startled and surprised Oswald a little bit, to hear that news FIRST from a newsman, vs. the cops who were surrounding him.
Again, that's just a pure guess on my part. But there's no way in Hades that Oswald truly thought he WOULDN'T be charged with JFK's murder, in light of the massive amount of evidence he conveniently left behind (not to mention the circumstantial stuff, such as the many lies he told the police in those first ten hours of interrogation).
I'll also add this -- It's quite possible that Oswald didn't even hear the reporter say the words "You have been charged". There was quite a bit of noise in that room at that particular time, so maybe Oswald didn't even hear the reporter. On the videotape version of the midnight press conference, the reporter's words "You have been charged" are, indeed, quite audible and clear. But from where Oswald was standing, I'm wondering if he heard those words as clearly as we do on the videotape? We can never know this for certain, of course.
But if, in fact, Oswald didn't even hear the reporter, it puts a whole new light on any "reaction" that we see on LHO's face, because under those conditions, it would obviously mean that Oswald's reaction wasn't one of "surprise" at all."

Does this mean that I have to agree with your opinion to be deemed to be reasonable?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes. Of course.
MARTIN WEIDMANN SAID:
Or could it be you are in fact the unreasonable one by considering your opinion to be superior to those of people who disagree with you?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
No. And for one simple (and blatantly obvious) reason:
The evidence (overwhelmingly) shows Lee Harvey Oswald to be guilty of two 1963 murders.
Therefore, the opinion of a person who thinks Oswald didn't shoot anybody on 11/22/63 cannot possibly be a "reasonable" opinion.

Yawn...Everyone knows by now that Mr Von Pein's brain is ceaselessly and irrevocably super glued to the Warren Report. 😏
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
The evidence shows that the Warren Commission was right. Maybe more CTers should learn to face the reality of that fact. It's either facing that unchangeable reality or remaining super-glued to the silly and unprovable notion that all this stuff was faked.
