If you believe LHO was the lone assassin of President Kennedy, why would he have been wasting time in the lunch room after having gone through the trouble to construct a brown paper bag, bring his rifle to work, hide the rifle when he got to work and then construct a sniper's lair? Not knowing the exact time the motorcade would drive by the TSB, why would he have risked the chance of missing the motorcade by being in the lunch room as large crowds were building outside just minutes before the motorcade arrival?
Or, if you believe LHO was part of a conspiracy and set up as the patsy, why would the other conspiracy participants/shooters have alllowed him to be in the lunch room to establsh an alibi just minutes before the motorcade arrival? It would seem logical that the once the participants/shooters entered the TSB, it was imperative that LHO be with the participants/shooters and not visible to other TSB workers to prevent an alibi.
My own belief is that LHO was stationed by that phone and allowed the participants/shooters into the TSB back door, lead them up to the top floor and would have expalined to any TSB workers that they men were SS agents and he was letting them inspect/secure the building. Since LHO was seen in the lunch room at about the same time witnesses saw two men on the sixth floor, I think he was serving as a lookout for any police that may have been alerted and entered the building. I think LHO perhaps received a call just a couple of minutes before the motorcade arrived instructing him to head up to the top floors either by the stairs or elevator.
There is every reason to believe that LHO was NOT a part of the plot to assassinate JFK. Your scenario literally FORCES him into inculpatory activities (by your novel interpretation of otherwise innocuous behavior) of which there is no supporting evidence.
Are you considering writing a work of fiction and just trying it out on us here?
Or perhaps a work of friction?
