The official narrative, based on the Warren Commission and Dallas police reports, suggests that Oswald shot Officer J.D. Tippit because he was trying to evade arrest after assassinating President Kennedy. Tippit allegedly stopped Oswald because he matched the general description of the suspect (white male, early 30s, slender build, etc.) being broadcast over police radio. When Tippit tried to question or detain him, Oswald panicked and shot him to avoid being captured.

However, if we take Oswald at his word—that he was "just a patsy" and innocent of killing JFK—it raises the question: why would an innocent man shoot a police officer? There are several possibilities that people have proposed:

1. Oswald Was Guilty and Panicked

This is the official explanation. He had just committed a high-profile assassination and thought Tippit was going to arrest him, so he reacted violently to avoid capture.

2. He Thought He Was Being Set Up

If Oswald truly believed he was being framed or manipulated, he might have feared for his life. In that mental state, he may have thought Tippit was part of a conspiracy to kill or silence him, and he reacted preemptively.

3. He Was Involved in Something Else Illegal

Some speculate Oswald was involved in covert operations (possibly related to intelligence or anti-Castro activities) and feared being exposed—not necessarily for JFK’s assassination, but for something else he couldn't allow to come to light.

4. He Didn't Do It

Some conspiracy theories claim Oswald didn’t shoot Tippit at all and was framed for that murder too. These theories point to inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts, questions about ballistic evidence, and the rapid identification of Oswald as suspicious.

So, while the official story is that he shot Tippit to escape arrest after killing JFK, the deeper motivations—or whether he even did it—remain subjects of debate.

❌ Why It's Impossible

Hitler died in 1945, nearly 18 years before JFK was assassinated in 1963.

The overwhelming historical evidence—eyewitnesses, body remains, Soviet records, and postwar intelligence—confirms Hitler died in his Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945, by suicide.

JFK was killed in Dallas, Texas, in 1963, in broad daylight, in front of dozens of witnesses and cameras. There is no credible evidence placing anyone even remotely resembling Hitler at the scene—or alive at that time.

🤔 But What About the "Hitler Escape" Theories?

Some fringe conspiracy theories claim Hitler escaped Germany and lived in Argentina or elsewhere in secret, but these have been thoroughly debunked by historians and intelligence experts. The FBI and other agencies investigated such claims during the Cold War and found no reliable evidence.

Bottom Line:

The idea that Hitler was the shooter is not supported by any credible evidence. It’s historically and logistically impossible—and if there was a conspiracy to kill JFK, it likely involved Cold War or domestic actors, not long-dead dictators from WWII.

Stone himself says he saw the film as a "counter-myth" to the Warren Report and I'm willing to buy that. It may play loose and fast with some facts and use of composite characters and all that, but it thrusts toward something the public all instinctively *feels* is true, that the official story was all BS, that governments lie to the public, and that the identity of the shooter is perhaps less important than what what the new people in charge did with power afterwards
