In reply to the discussion: Let's have a poll on JFK [View all]Spider Jerusalem
(21,786 posts)Right, so he left the Western Union office with the slip in his pocket and left his beloved dog in his car. Sorry, that doesn't add up. None of the supposed "proofs" of conspiracy can withstand the least bit of rational analysis. (And fatal health condition? If Ruby already had cancer he didn't know it.)
Why would he do a think like that? Because he was non compos mentis. Because he had a hair-trigger temper. Because he greatly admired Kennedy and thought he'd be a hero for killing the man who shot him.
And you mean the right-wing exiles who started an altercation with Oswald after they saw him distributing "Fair Play for Cuba" leaflets? It's just as likely that Oswald provoked that confrontation to bolster his credentials as a supporter of the Cuban revolution. He was trying to defect to Cuba, after all (unsuccessfully).
