JFK : Assuming Oswald did it, what was his plan?

Assuming Oswald did it, what was his plan?

So I truly believe that Oswald did it alone. But I wonder what his plan was after the shooting? He didn't have any money to leave the country, he must have known they would come after him eventually, what was he going to do? It seems that his only plan was to just deny everything, even though there was overwhelming evidence against him. After reading "Oswald's Tale" by Norman Mailer, it seems like he is a strange combination of pretty smart, and incredibly stupid.

Re: Assuming Oswald did it, what was his plan?

We'll never know what his plan was, unfortunately. I think one of the big mysteries in the case is where Oswald was going afterwards. He went back to his rooming house and got some things but then went out again. Was he going to try and escape? Was he meeting someone? Did he just want to walk around and see the chaos?


Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything.

Re: Assuming Oswald did it, what was his plan?

And as for Oswald's intelligence, on one level he was clearly a bright guy. He was fairly articulate, and he had read a lot of communist theory as a teenager and taught himself Russian. But I also think he was kind of scaterrbrained and not a great long term planner. He was also prone to flight of fancy which led him to do crazy things like defect to the USSR.

Re:

Norman Mailer's turncoat novel has no authority. Oswald was never even a shooter.

Re:

Actually, we know for a fact that Oswald was the shooter who killed Kennedy.

Re:

Oswald was in the marines and was a pretty good shot.

If you like Novels based on the Kennedy assassination, "Libra" by Don DeLillo is a great read...
