All vehicles need gas at some point, but not many of us pull into a service station with a deadly weapon laying openly out on the seat, especially within minutes of a shooting in close vicinity over at 10[SUP]th[/SUP]& Patton in the same neighborhoodnot to mention immediately after an assassination attempt upon a sitting president just an hour before.

When officialdom would rather choose to pursue fiction (pushing the Oswald did it manure spread) rather than pursue these kind of leads the fix is already in.

Who was this man openly displaying a deadly weapon?

Why did the service station attendant feel a need to call this in? Did the person's presentation/antics raise suspicions somehow? Was this one of the two culprits Mr.Wright (Frank) observed at the Tippit murder scene?, especially the much taller one, who raced away to a car ----->

"ran as fast as he could go" and "drove away as quick as you could see." --Frank Wright (501 10th Street, one of a few eyewitnesses directly on scene that afternoon ignored by those charged with pursuing the truth)

Thank goodness this case is now under review in the new millennium.
