Your willingness to think critically and challenge "the truth" is great, especially questioning whether Howard Brennan's testimony is reliable and free from manipulation.

There are certainly many dubious points about Oswald as the shooter, but if he was not the shooter, why go home, change clothes, arm himself, then shoot Officer Tippit?

His post-assassination actions are incriminating, and hard to reconcile with an innocent man.

But see, this is what happens in these discussions. First, it's "100% of the evidence in Dealy Plaza implicates Oswald - he is guilty to a moral certainty, etc" - then, when you point out the actual fact pattern, the goalposts are moved miles away to talk about other happenings in Dallas that day. And then months earlier in New Orleans. And then years earlier in Russia, Japan, etc.

I don't want to rehash the entire case in an HN thread, but needless to say there are very rational explanations for nearly all of the incorrect conclusions reached by the Warren Commission.

I think that a sober, rational analysis suggests very, very clearly that this was a crime committed by group, rather than an individual.
