However, if Oswald were merely a "patsy," as he claimed, it is difficult to understand why, after leaving the Texas School Book Depository building and picking up a revolver at his rooming house, he gunned down officer J.D. Tippit, who was about to question him. Six witnesses identified Oswald as Tippit's killer. Three watched him discard empty cartridges. The cartridges matched the gun he was carrying when police seized him in a theater...
...Warren Commission and author of two books on the assassination, calls the script "a bunch of hokum." By ignoring key pieces of evidence and misrepresenting others, Belin says, Stone casts doubt even on issues that are relatively clear-cut, like Oswald's murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit. (Oswald was identified as the gunman at the scene by at least six eyewitnesses.) "It is a shame that a man as talented as Stone has had to go to such lengths to deceive the American public," says Belin...
...After carelessly hiding the carbine, Oswald turned and left the building on foot. He went to his rented room at a Dallas boarding house, picked up a revolver, and about 10 minutes later shot to death police officer J. D. Tippit...
...theories have emerged. Mark Lane's second book on the assassination, though published as fiction, was Executive Action, suggesting very strongly that Oswald was used as a patsy for Dallas right-wing elements. An old theory suggests a link between Oswald, his killer Jack Ruby, and murdered Dallas officer Tippit. Evidence for this theory is almost exclusively circumstantial. Oswald's landlady said a police car drove by Oswald's rooming house, honked the horn, and drove away. This was five or six minutes before the time that Tippit was murdered. So, according to proponents of this theory, Tippit was assigned...
...accept the conclusion that Oswald killed both Kennedy and Officer Tippit is not necessarily to believe that no one put him up to it. Yet no evidence of a plot has ever been brought forward. The hit man in such a scheme does not wander around, as Oswald did -walking, catching a bus, switching to a cab, picking up a revolver at his rooming house and walking again-with not enough money to travel far from the scene of the crime. He does not call attention to himself ahead of time by barging into the Cuban and Soviet embassies...
