The Warren Commission (WC) said that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) fired three shots at President John F. Kennedy (JFK) on November 22, 1963, with two of the shots hitting him and killing him. LHO further wounded Texas Governor John B. Connally (JBC) but did not kill him.
The reason LHO did this was…? Who knows as the WC never provided us with a motive. Over the subsequent years one constant excuse given by the WC defenders for LHO's supposed actions was that he was mentally unstable – i.e., crazy.
This post will look at this claim in greater detail.
************************************************************
We don't know where the WC defenders got the idea of LHO being mentally unstable as the WC itself never claimed this. For example we find the following statements by them in the WC Report (WCR).

Contrary to reports that appeared after the assassination, the psychiatric examination did not indicate that Lee Oswald was a potential assassin, potentially dangerous, that “his outlook on life had strongly paranoid overtones" or that he should be institutionalized. (WCR, p. 379)

This shows us that as a youth LHO displayed no signs of violent action. It could be said that he developed this tendency later on, but again there is NO indication of this. If we read Commission Document (CD) 1105 (Navy memorandum regarding LHO's psychological examination) we will see the following.

…In response to question (1) of reference (a), no specific psychological examinations were administered to Lee Oswald at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego in the fall of 1956. Such examinations were not routinely given to all recruits. Only those recruits that had difficulty in the course of their training and who were referred to the Psychiatric Evaluation Unit would be given psychiatric assistance and psychological examinations, as appropriate and indicated. The PULHES designation for Oswald on 24 October 1956 was indicated as (1) i.e. no abnormalities noted, in all categories, including psychiatric under the letter S. No change was made in this rating at the time of his transfer on 17 January 1957 on the completion of training. (CD 1105, p. 3)

This summary tells us that LHO displayed NO abnormal mental behavior at the time of his arrival at the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) boot camp or during his entire time there, otherwise he would have been extracted from his unit and sent for psychological examination, but this never occurred.
It further states that “no abnormalities were noted" in all categories which undoubtedly would have included mental health. This memorandum went on to say this as well.

2. The records of subsequent limited medical treatment for certain conditions, including the accidental gunshot wound, did not indicate any significant personality deviation or evidence of psychiatric abnormality. The Board of Investigation of the gunshot injury determined this to be in line of duty. (Ibid.)

Again we see nothing mentally abnormal was detected in LHO. The other interesting point in this statement is that LHO's gunshot wound occurred “in the line of duty.” This is not what we have been told over the years. Look at what Wikipedia says about this incident.

Oswald was court-martialed after he accidentally shot himself in the elbow with an unauthorized .22 caliber handgun. (See under Marine Corps.)

This makes the shooting sound totally different, doesn't it? Why was LHO court-martialed if the wounding occurred in the line of duty? This sounds totally at odds with a dereliction of duty type incident to me. What do you think?
If we move to the time of his defection we will see further confirmation that he was normal. Following his supposed suicide attempt he was put through a psychiatric examination. Here is what was found.

His mind is clear. Perception is correct. No hallucinations or delirium. He answers the questions [illegible] and logically…no psychotic symptoms were noted. The patient is not dangerous for other people. (Commission Exhibit (CE) 985, p. 473; p. 13 in original)

The same verdict was delivered by the Russians who examined him. LHO was sane and not a danger to others. Further confirmation of this comes from FBI Agent John Quigley who was summoned to the New Orleans jail LHO was in after his arrest to interview him. He testified to the following during his WC testimony.
Mr. STERN. Did you get any indication that he was a dangerous individual or that he was, potentially, a violent individual?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Absolutely none at all.
He spent an hour and a half with LHO in a one-on-one situation too. Finally, the person who kept tabs on LHO the most shortly before the assassination was FBI Agent James Hosty and he testified to the following before the WC.
Senator COOPER. And considering that he had been engaged in this demonstration in New Orleans, and the statement that Mrs. Paine had made to you, did it occur to you at all that he was a potentially dangerous person?
Mr. HOSTY. No, sir.
Senator COOPER. Why?
Mr. HOSTY. There is no indication from something of that type that he would commit a violent act. This is not the form that a person of that type would necessarily take. This would not in any way indicate to me that he was capable of violence.
Case closed. LHO was not insane or violent at all. The claim that he was by the WC defenders is an empty one. The fact that the WC ignored the issue of LHO's mental health entirely is odd too unless they allowed the false claims to be made while doing nothing to disprove them.
This failure by them raises serious doubt about their conclusion, thus, it is sunk again.
