Officer Tippett. Who killed him?

[maveric]

I've read articles that claim that he knew Jack Ruby and frequented the Carousel Lounge. Several witnesses gave conflicting reports about the description of the assailant.
Was there a ballistic test done on the weapon that Oswald possessed? This has always been a vague account to me.

1. I can't wait until this week is over

So all the JFK conspiracy shows will be off the air for another year.

[WoodrowFan]

13. AMEN

oye. my fav for the "off their medication" award is the "two oswalds idea."

2. Oswald

The Kennedy Death club seems all stirred up lately. Kind of a cult thing.

3. 40th anniversary

It's to be expected.

[elperromagico]

4. It's the fortieth anniversary

Everybody dusts off their conspiracy theories...

Just think, some people live and breathe this stuff all year 'round. I think the least we can do is exercise tolerance. :P

6. I don't think it's a cult thing..

a bit overdone,of course. But,especially for those of us who remember President Kennedy,the fact that we feel we don't know the truth about the assassination will always be troubling to many of us.
I was a child back then,but it ripped our world apart. All the TV shows with the 40th anniversary coming up are a bit much,maybe,but I think it's only human nature that people would be thinking about it right now.

7. The assasination Dorks are coming out of the woodwork

There is a special on ABC tomorrow that contradicts most Kennedy assasination theories. The Dinks are restless.

[maveric]

8. You dont think that the assasination and coverup of US president

is important on the 40th anniversary of that event?
Or are you one of those who says that the US govt. and agencies would never do anything like that?

I've got you "Dork" right here!

11. You're wasting your time trying to discuss the JFK assassination...

...with anyone that resorts to name-calling right out of the box.

People like that have very little actual knowledge of the events surrounding the assassination, and make it very clear that they just don't care one way or the other.

I will say that anyone the trusts the Warren Commission Report without actually reading the exhibits and reports from which the report is drawn is a couple of sixpacks short of a case. Heck, most of them haven't even bothered to look at any of the new material released by the ARRB...and there are still thousands of pages of documents not yet released.

5. Can someone explain why Oswald felt compelled to leave work?

All of the other employees in the TBD felt no need to leave work.
Officer Tippet was killed in the neighborhood near Oswald's home, but as to coordination in framing Oswald such a third party would have to know exactly Oswald's plan to leave work, his intentions and the coincidence of officer Tippett being in an advantagous location.

Conspiracy or Serendipidy you make the call

[maveric]

10. Which leads to a conspiracy plan. He may have been told to leave after

the shooting occured. Perhaps as a diversion to police looking for the shooter who may have stayed in the TSBD. As to him shooting Tippett, who was killed with an automatic, Oswald was arrested with a revolver.

9. Lee and I did

shhh...

12. Conflicting reports

In Oliver Stone's movie there were various descriptions of the gunman who shot Officer Tippett. From eyewitnesses to the shooting. Why did Oswald go in the theatre without buying a ticket, if he was looking for a hideout?

There are so many questions, and most of the principle figures have been murdered. It would be nice if the killers could be brought to justice, but it's pretty clear that will never happen.
