Every morning after arriving for work at the Book Depository Building, Oswald would go to the domino room on the first floor of the building and read the previous morning’s edition of the Dallas Morning News, which another employee had brought in.

Of course "Bud" can. The first two words. Bugliosi is talking about morning and you went on about lunchtime.

He didn`t bring it here.

You have the original to work from and instead you insist on working from some flawed version you found on the internet. I`ll be pointing out you deceit every time you fail to use Bugliosi`s actual words.

He would come to work and sit in there and read the paper, the next day paper, like if the day was Tuesday, he would read Monday's paper in the morning when he would come to work, but he didn't that morning because he didn't go in the domino room that morning. I didn't see him in the domino room that morning.

Trying to help. "generally" means "in most cases; usually". Bugliosi is using what the witness supplied to say "in all cases, always".

I wouldn`t trust you to make that determination.

If my neighbors said that I *always* fill my birdfeeder at 7 o`clock in the morning, but there is a planned murder that I am implicated in that occurred the day I missed filling my birdfeeder any real investigator would find that significant. Even if I am out of birdseed, because previously I was always careful to make sure I had it. Conspiracy retards just have no aptitude for investigation.

A change in routine on the day I was implicated in a murder would be a red flag to any *real* investigator.

Probably the first thing he did when he came in, he probably came in a little early so he read the paper. But the day something monumental was happening right on his doorstep he suddenly has no interest in current events.

Someone who is unfamiliar with the case might think so. Always kept himself abreast of the news except when the President was going past.

There is support for the speculation. It is only speculation that when Oswald is seen on different floors that he used the stairs.

Lied, didn`t you? Would have been easy to just produce a name, instead of some vague handwaving towards the testimony.

Ben is displaying his hypocrisy again? Good to know.

Having you decide what is the most credible evidence is like having Stevie Wonder decide the brightest color.

You seem to be clueless both about what Bugliosi is doing and what you yourself set out to do.

Not so far.

You`ve established as fact that Oswald did not read a newspaper every morning in the Domino room? When and how did you do that?

Any change of routine of his on this particular day would be a red flag.

Yes, anyone. It is how it is done, you put together supportive elements into a cohesive package. Something conspiracy hobbyists will never do.

Do you think Bugliosi is making that assessment based on this alone, dope?

If Oswald happens to do something on the day he is the prime suspect in a murder that he never did before, or does something out of his normal routine, then this is grounds for suspicion *in light of all the other indications of his guilt*.

He did quite a bit out of the ordinary. He went to the Paine`s on a week day, which was out of the ordinary. He left his wedding ring, which was out of the ordinary. The first time he carried a big sack to work. He didn`t read a newspaper in the domino in the morning, which was his custom. He didn`t fill work orders the day of the assassination.
But Ben is correct, if you ignore all the things that Oswald did that were out of the ordinary then Oswald did nothing out of the ordinary.
> He was seen reading a newspaper as he often did.
First thing in the morning?
> But even presuming that he didn't - IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING A MURDERER - AND CERTAINLY NOT A "LONE" MURDERER.
You assert in caps what you can`t show. Oswald may very well have missed his morning paper because he was busy hiding the rifle.
> The fact that "Bud" can't acknowledge these simple truths demonstrate just how dishonest he is.
You are much better at booing and hissing from ringside than you are in the ring.
