Lee Harvey Oswald vs Thomas Matthew Crooks

[Gerry Down]

The recent assassination attempt by Crooks on former president Trump provides an interesting opportunity for comparison between him and Lee Harvey Oswald.  

Some comparisons of note include:

• LHO was young (24). TMC was young (20).
• LHO was a loner. TMC was a loner.
• LHO was bullied (in school, and the marines). TMC was bullied (in school).
• LHO was intelligent (read a lot of books). TMC was intelligent (won a school math aware).
• LHO enjoyed playing chess. TMC enjoyed playing chess.
• LHO was involved in debates (on the radio in N.O.). TMC was involved in debates (school debates). 
• LHO in his teens was interested in military service. TMC in his teens, according to a former classmate, was interested in military service.
• LHO wore camouflage (in the marines). TMC wore camouflage to school.
• LHO liked guns (as confirmed by Adrian Alba in N.O.). TMC liked guns.
• LHO was interesting in bomb making. TMC was interested in bomb making.
• LHO involved himself in contradictory positions (FPCC & DRE). TMC involved himself in contradictory positions (registered Republican & donating to Democratic causes).
• LHO shot at his target from a distance. TMC shot at his target from a distance.
• LHO used an unsuitable assassination rifle (an old bolt action rifle). TMC used an unsuitable assassination rifle (AR-15, not suitable for long distance).
• LHO put other peoples lives at risk during his assassination attempt (Gov. Connally, Mrs. Kennedy). TMC put other peoples lives at risk during his assassination attempt (Corey Comperatore, James Copenhaver, David Dutch). 
• LHO shot a law enforcement officer (officer Tippit). TMC threatened to shoot a law enforcement officer (seconds before shooting at Trump).
• LHO had no obvious motive. TMC had no obvious motive (as of yet anyway).  
• LHO had no criminal record. TMC had no criminal record.

Factually incorrect.  Crooks donated $15 to Biden's inaugural.  That's it.  He was a conservative Republican gun nut in all other ways.

Some corrections.

• LHO was young (24).  Yes. 
• LHO was a loner.  No. He was a black operative and connected with IC people, handlers etc. In fact Oswald knew more people in in higher positions than a average youngster.
• LHO liked guns (as confirmed by Adrian Alba in N.O.).  No, he was not.
• LHO was interesting in bomb making.  No, he was not. 
• LHO involved himself in contradictory positions (FPCC & DRE).  Yes, by order of his handlers. 
• LHO shot at his target from a distance.  No. Oswald did not shot anybody on 22. 211. 1963. 
• LHO used an unsuitable assassination rifle (an old bolt action rifle).  Therefore this was not his rifle. 
• LHO put other peoples lives at risk during his assassination attempt (Gov. Connally, Mrs. Kennedy). LHO did not shot anybody. Therefore he did nobody at risk. 
• LHO shot a law enforcement officer (officer Tippit). LHO did not shot Tippit.
• LHO had no obvious motive. Since LHO shot nobody a motive is not needed.
•  
• CONCLUSIO: Since your premises are wrong your comparison game is baloney.

Oswald was left-wing and into guns. The notion that only conservatives are into guns doesn't add up.

What "people in higher positions" did he know?

Oswald was married with kids. I wouldn't describe someone like that as a 'loner'.

@Jonathan Cohen

 

Admiral Chester Bruton, Baron de Mohrenschildt ( a man who called the later President Bush by his nick "Poppy"), Stanislav Shushkevich Russian atomic physicist and later first President of Belarus ... Alton Ochsner, Doc of the rich and famous,  Clay Shaw ... that's something for a kid around 20 ... isn't it.

Thomas Matthew Crooks.

this kid ( Crook) clearly spent his entire waking life posting batshit crazy stuff on the Internet & 48 hours later we don’t have a SINGLE post of his on any platform

There is a word for that: Sterilization ... and Quantico is still not able to get into his phone ... yeah ... a whole team must be involved in erasing Thomas Mathew Crooks Internet life ...

Your mis-characterization of Crooks' political affiliation doesn't add up.

And this about the security pecautions at the RNC Cenvention in Milwaukee where Trump will be in a short time ... every roof checked?

WATCH: ANTIFA and pro-HAMAS Palestinian protesters have set up a staging area with their signs at Red Arrow Park, directly outside of the entrance to the RNC Convention in Milwaukee. Why are ANTIFA and jihadi protesters being allowed this close to the RNC after a failed assassination attempt on President Trump this weekend?

In a thread about strained comparisons, allow me to make another.

Oswald associated with George DeMohrenschildt, an alleged Nazi agent.

Crooks shot at Trump, who picked for Vice President a guy who once referred to Trump as "America's Hitler."
