LHO was innocent. Bored with moving boxes around in the hot dusty TSBD
that didn't even have air conditioning, he was practicing for a career
change as an interior decorator. The curtain rods weren't for his
boardinghouse room, it already had curtains. They were for the 6th floor
window. After seeing how nice it looked he was hoping to get a big
contract to do all the windows in the TSBD. He custom made the paper bag
so he could keep this project a secret until making a formal presentation.
As a matter of fact he did bring his rifle to work that morning, but sold
it to some guy in the parking lot. Oddly enough the guy was his same
height wearing clothes just like him.
At the time of the motorcade LHO was in the lunchroom making notes on how
to brighten up that dull and boring room so more employees would start
using it. After hearing loud noises from somewhere inside the building he
saw the same guy running down the stairs, who yelled, "Your rifle shoots
high and to the right!" Embarrassed LHO yelled back, "Oh yeah, I forgot to
mention that, but the scope is adjustable. What the hell were you shooting
at anyway?" The guy said "Politicians" and disappeared down the stairs.
Obviously the guy was joking so LHO chuckled, then bought a coke and went
downstairs to see what all the ruckus was about.
Shame on all of you for doubting the curtain rod story.
