I was in the kitchen grabbing snacks after seeing the History Channel repeat of the 50th anniversary program this afternoon when it struck me the shot to the head by Tippit's killer is not the MO of Oswald. (By the way, History Channel omitted this shot in their program) Even if it was Oswald Tippit was down and wasn't any threat. Deniers would say Oswald wanted to eliminate any witnesses, however Oswald's bullets would be more than enough to implicate him. Also, look at his position. Was he going to escape notice at that point? No, the shot to the head was the shot of a person who wanted Tippit dead in order to eliminate any threat or witness. This overkill shot for Oswald is a much more understandable shot for a conspirator of the type chasing Oswald before they officially connected him to anything. An escaping Oswald doesn't need Tippit dead as much as an assassination conspirator.
