It is certainly not historically certain Oswald shot anyone, a d he had the cab drive five blocks past his rooming house, not two. I will be correcting your certifiable disinformation at my own blog, ASAP, JFKCountercoup.blogspot.com
Bill Kelly, whom I knew back in the day at the so-called JFK Assassination Debate - Education Forum, is full of high-fructose beans and KGB* disinformation whether he realizes it or not. Hey Bill, when are you going to return the tape recording of the interview I did of retired ONI Special Agent Robert D. Steel? *Today's SVR and FSB
He was probably trying to get to a bus stop at E. Jefferson Blvd and S. Marsalis Ave. where he could catch a bus that would take him to Laredo. We know that there was a police car stopped a block or two from it. He may have been "spooked" by the sight of the police car and decided to double back, and that's when he encountered Officer Tippit.
This is what researcher Bill Brown posted on the subject at the JFK Truth Be Told FB page in June:
OAK CLIFF TIME TRIALS
Author Dale K. Myers ("With Malice - Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J.D. Tippit") puts forth the idea that Lee Oswald was walking east on Tenth Street toward the area of Marsalis and Jefferson. Oswald had a bus transfer in his pocket and the only bus stop in the entire Oak Cliff area which this transfer was good for was the bus stop at the intersection of Jefferson and Marsalis. The transfer was stamped for 1:00 making it good until 1:15 (or the next available bus).
Myers asks: "Had Oswald already been to the bus stop but was scared off?"
I have now come to believe that Oswald, when he left the rooming house on North Beckley (after grabbing his revolver and jacket), had the destination of the bus stop at Marsalis and Jefferson in his mind. From the rooming house on North Beckley, walking east on Tenth Street toward Marsalis, Oswald was walking the most direct line to the bus stop. Again, his transfer was good at that particular bus stop until 1:15, or the next available bus. In With Malice, Myers states that the Lancaster Road bus was scheduled to arrive at the stop at Jefferson and Marsalis at 1:30 and "would have taken Oswald to Greyhound bus connections through Laredo, TX and on to Mexico".
According to Myers, it was at 1:17:41 when passerby T.F. Bowley got on Tippit's patrol car radio to report to the police dispatcher that a police officer had been shot and killed. The Dallas County Sheriff's Department (no doubt monitoring the city police radio) put out the same information over their airwaves. Shortly after Bowley's report, a Sheriff's Deputy (unit 109) reported to his dispatcher that he was at the intersection of Tenth and Jefferson, just one block east of the bus stop located at Marsalis and Jefferson; the same stop which for Oswald's transfer was good.
Back to the question put forth by Myers. "Had Oswald already been to the bus stop but was scared off?"
Myers' point is that if a Deputy patrol car was near that bus stop shortly AFTER Tippit was shot, then maybe he was there BEFORE the shooting, as well.
Perhaps Oswald first arrived at Tenth and Patton (from the rooming house on his way to the bus stop at Marsalis and Jefferson) at 1:11.
Hi James - I don't expect we will convince each other! My understanding, though, is that a shot from the right front would leave a small entrance wound on the front right side of the President's head and a much larger exit wound on the rear left side of his head. Can you direct me to any evidence of this? Thanks, b.
JFK's upper torso went back-and-to-the-left because all of the muscles on the left side of his body contracted when the neurons in the destroyed right side of his brain rapidly depolarized, and his head went backwards due to a Newtonian "jet effect."
Lopez's estranged daughter told me about five years ago that he was violent man, a fervid Castro supporter, and that he was good at faking epileptic seizures. Thinking of the guy Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig claimed to hear whistle loudly, see run down the grass and get into a Rambler station wagon. FWIW, I asked her if he could whistle loudly, and she said yes, he did it all the time when she was young.

Dear Bill,
Why did "innocent" Oswald have Whalen let him out five blocks past his residence? Because his evil, evil, evil CIA handler told him to?
Your buddy,

This has been quite the journey - thanks for all your work on it and for the possibilities that I am now contemplating!
Historically Certain Oswald fired all three shots??? Sure Bruce. And that last head shot didn't come from the right front? Please.

You are just plain wrong about Lopez: https://www.onthetrailofdelusion.com/post/jfk-destiny-betrayed-misleads-on-supposed-tampa-patsy

I didn’t know that about Cord on his deathbed.
