To enrage DPD to kill “Patsy” Lee Harvey Oswald, Conspiracy Command & Control kills next designated DPD “hero”, (Plan B modified if LHO isn’t cornered at TSBD) Original Plan B was Tippit to pick up LHO and take him to a rendezvous (RV) spot, where both would be killed and made to look like they killed each other. Officer Tippit forced by blackmail over his adulterous affair to participate knew he was being “set-up”; nominally honked his horn by LHO’s boarding house and drove to the RV location hoping to be considered “off-the-hook” by his tormentors. However awaiting for him are killers with orders to shot him and/or LHO in either case. Officer J.D. Tippit is hit by 3 shots to the chest to immobilize and 1 to the (right temple) head to finish him---same pattern of fire as used on JFK less than 1 hour earlier! A phony LHO wallet with Texas driver’s license (LHO did NOT know how to drive!) and empty 4 x .38 shell casings (who ejects shell casings with 2 unfired rounds in the chamber after a firefight is over?) are planted by the killers at Tippet murder scene to frame LHO further.
However, LHO by evading his murder is forcing the conspiracy to reveal its ugly hands. A Plan C must be enacted. Tippit told his son that morning that he loved him no matter what happens later that day--revealing he knew he had a big, dangerous role to play as the man who arrests or corners/kills the designated “patsy”
At the last second he refused to go along with the plan, so LHO would live long enough to be captured and help expose the conspiracy, maybe he was a hero afterall.
