The Evidence Is Abundantly Clear -- Jim Garrison Was Dead Wrong; A Lone Killer Named Oswald Murdered JFK And J.D. Tippit
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2006
The more time that passes since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, the more it becomes clear that JFK was shot and killed by just a single lone-nut assassin named Lee Harvey Oswald; with this passage of time also unmasking more and more conspiracy theories for just what they are -- i.e., Unsupported theories that "prove" absolutely nothing.
"Anonymous tip-off"?? If Mr. Garrison was still somehow of the opinion, at the time of that 1967 Playboy quote (years after the assassination), that the cops were tipped-off about Oswald's whereabouts in the theater via an "anonymous" informant, he couldn't be more incorrect. Because that's not the way things happened at all on November 22nd.
Garrison conveniently didn't bother to tell the Playboy readership that the person who gave the police this "anonymous tip" was fully identified immediately after the event -- that person being shoe-store clerk Johnny Brewer .. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Tippit#Murder_and_investigation] . There was nothing sinister in the least about the "tip" provided to police (by Brewer via theater cashier Julia Postal's actual phone call to the DPD).
Brewer testified in front of the Warren Commission on April 2, 1964, and told the Commission the entire story re. his encounter with Oswald and LHO's subsequent arrest within the theater. Garrison, of course, decided not to mention the Brewer story in his "anonymous" version of the event. It sounded more "sinister" to just leave out the Brewer connection, and pretend that the "tip" came from somebody who STILL, as of 1967, was unidentified. Garrison obviously wanted people, by way of that magazine article, to think that something "conspiratorial" was afoot with regard to the police arriving in mass at the Texas Theater to arrest Oswald after the nearby Tippit murder.
Oliver Stone continued to perpetuate this so-called "mystery" of the cops swarming the theater in his movie "JFK". But, in reality, there was nothing sinister or conspiratorial at all in the entire theater episode. Brewer watched the "suspicious-acting" man (Oswald) walk into the theater without paying, and Mr. Brewer "tipped off" the cashier (Postal), who then called the police. A few minutes later, many patrol cars surrounded the theater.
It was a perfectly-natural sequence of events, considering one of Dallas' finest (Officer J.D. Tippit) had just been slain on 10th Street just a half hour before. Remember, too, the fact that the police don't take too kindly to having one of their own cut down like a mad dog in the middle of the street. It peeves them greatly. So it's no big surprise that every officer in the area of the theater would want to get a crack at apprehending the man who might have killed their fellow officer.
Garrison's (or anyone else's) attempt to exonerate Oswald for J.D. Tippit's murder is, in my opinion, even more contemptible than trying to get LHO off the hook for JFK's killing -- because, given the impossible-to-overcome wealth of evidence telling the world Oswald's guilty of murdering Officer Tippit, it's safe to say that the ONLY person (literally) on the Earth who could possibly have killed J.D. Tippit was Lee Harvey Oswald.
