4. Just a dumb & crass joke about Officer Tippit, who aided in apprehending Oswald.

5. Neither. Stop projecting.

Explaining the "OP" would ruin the experiment at this point. I have utmost respect for the Tippit family.

And I think it is terrible that he became the only PO in Texas to not receive an autopsy and was promptly buried before the family could properly mourn his passing.

8. You are just upset because Tippet could pass as a Kennedy
And if you can't see it you have cognitive dissonance or are fucking blind.

And no, I can not find the source of the info on Tippit's autopsy.

9. thank you
I have always thought he looked EXACTLY like a Kennedy and that's why he was shot!
It is fact that Oswald was brainwashed, either by the CIA or the army.
It is also a fact he did not shoot JFK...he was set up.
When he realized this, he ran away but ran into Tippit and his brainwashing took over.
Tippit looked so much like JFK that Oswald shot him.
I expect the usual deniers who are paid to post here to say this is bullshit, but that is what they are paid for, right dude?

14. Pedertrian sarcasm. I was merely pointing out the resemblance.
You filled in all of your assumptions on what I was suggesting.

20. I agree with you that Tippit's resemblance to Kennedy is part of why Oswald shot him
But I disagree that Oswald was brainwashed. Well, by anybody but himself.

Tippit knew who he looked like. He'd been kidded about it for a while. When he called Oswald over, I'll bet the resemblance visibly shook Oswald, having just shot JFK. That would have further raised Tippit's suspicions and caused him to escalate the situation. Oswald had no intent of being arrested and so shot Tippit. So Tibbit's appearance is part of why Oswald shot him, I believe.

15. Tippit didn't need to be altered.

18. In Any Large City...
you could probably find hundreds, maybe even thousands, of men who have some "resemblance" to JFK.

That doesn't make any of them secret Kennedys.

21. I know.
It is just interesting in context, imo. And that the features line up almost perfectly.

23. Tippit's behavior was more Jack Ruby than JFK ....
Keep in mind that 50% of the Dallas Police Force were KKK --

Many of them were catered to by Jack Ruby in his establishment -- The Carousel Club

It's likely that it was Tippit's police car -- #10 -- which pulled up to Oswald's

rooming house and "tit-tit'ed" the horn as observed by landlady, Mrs. Roberts.

Tippit reportedly failed to respond to a police dispatcher call at the approximate

time of the police-car incident.


Immediately after police car episode, Oswald left the rooming house and was last seen

by Mrs. Roberts standing at the bus stop. The time was four minutes after 1pm.

A man keyed a microphone at 1:16 pm reporting the shooting of Officer Tippit. (WC)

It's believed shooting took place at 1:12.


Some of this info is also from High Treason I by Livingstone --

Also recall seeing documentaries or news reports which suggest that Tippit had

gambling debts --


And, while the House Select Committee on Assassinations supported WC -- i.e., that

Oswald killed Tippit, they indicated that "all is not known about the killing."


FURTHER, House Select Committee investigators studied information that Tippit may have been

killed as the result of personal problems. The Committee investigators also talked with another

witness not interviewed by Warren Commission -- Jack Ray Tatum told Committee investigators

that Tippit's killer, after shooting the officer from the sidewalk, walked toward the patrol

car and shot Tippit once in the head at point-blank range.

The House Select Committee correctly noted ....

"This action, which is often encountered in gangland murders and is commonly described as a

coup de grace, is more indicative of an execution than an act of defense intended to allow

escape or prevent apprehension."


This is from Jim Marrs book "Crossfire" and he states ....

That Tatum's story disagrees with other witnesses who say 4 shots were fired in succession.

No interval between shots. And Marrs add that several serious students of Tippit kill now

believe his death was unrelated to JFK assassination. And that among the researchers who

still think such a connection does exist -- "few cling to the belief that Oswald was the killer."



Here's also some interesting stuff on the gun allegedly in Oswald's possession ....

There was no evidence ever presented showing that the handgun was ever fired --

no fingerprints on it whatsoever -- wiped clean -- and likely planted on Oswald.

Cartridge cases also seem to have been planted at the scene.


Also -- in arrest report, Hill wrote: "When the pistol was given to me, it was fully loaded

and one of the shells had a hammermark on the primer."

How did Oswald shoot Tippit 4X and end up with a fully loaded gun? Reloaded it?

24. Housekeeper
Earlene Roberts was the housekeeper.

The landlady was Gladys Johnson.

26. Many references to Earlene Roberts as "landlady" ...
however, believe she lived at the house? And her grandmother owned it?

Would require more checking --

HT/Livingstone refers to her as "landlady" -- but she is also on the list of

suspicious deaths --

Roberts also made interesting references to an "Officer Alexander" having often

been at the house. This may refer to Bill Alexander -- the right wing Assistant DA.

25. "How did Oswald shoot Tippit 4X and end up with a fully loaded gun?"
This is, no doubt, one of the dumbest questions ever asked here and, quite frankly, an example of the lack of critical thinking skills that makes me disdain conspiracists so much.

Here's a better question: why would a presidential assassin and cop-killer on the lam walk around with a 2/3's empty revolver?
