Going to San Antonio (2 Viewers)

When it comes to the Kennedy assassination everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not all opinions are equally valid. LOL. Back to the corner. The depth is surprising between the front window where the shots were fired and the side window that forms the corner. It could easily conceal a person. And given the angle from which the shots were fired, Oswald would have - intentionally or not - have been in that corner. The only thing visible would have been a few inches of the rifle. It also may explain why he didn't fire at Kennedy as he approached the Book Depository. To fire from that angle as the motorcade approached would have placed Oswald squarely in front of the window. One last observation on this - it's surprising to me that Oswald carried the rifle with him across the sixth floor to conceal it instead of just dropping it where he fired. If anyone had seen him, he doesn't get out or has to shoot them. I think it demonstrates his lack of planning as to what to do afterward - he probably never expected to get out of the building. For example, he returns to his boarding house where he would likely be traced for a pistol instead of bringing it with him etc. A huge contrast with his decisonmaking leading up to the assassination which seem well planned. More a suicidal type plan.
