Farris Rookstool III is a historian? That's like calling Gerald Posner a journalist

Farris Rookstool III is an FBI agent.

So, there's this landmark sign outside the Texas Theatre.  There seems to be this big push to put landmarks here, there, and everywhere that had anything to do with the assassination of JFK in Dallas these days.  Well, Farris doesn't like the one in front of the Texas theatre.

The video for this is about 1 minute long and it's quite odd.  There is no voice over from anyone who made this.  There is just the sounds of car traffic, and that's it.  It doesn't even get one shot of the whole text of the marker.  Below is the text Rookstool doesn't like.

On November 22, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald was apprehended inside the auditorium for the assassination of President Kennedy propelling the Texas theatre into the international spotlight.

Rookstool wants to remove that because Oswald is only thought of as a possible suspect in the death of Officer Tippit when arrested.  Oswald would not be charged with the murder of the President until hours later.  I think he's splitting hairs.

I'd write something like this:

On November 22, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald was apprehended inside the auditorium as a suspect in the murder of Dallas Police Officer Tippit and as a suspect in the assassination of President Kennedy propelling the Texas theatre into the international spotlight.

DALLAS, TX (CNN) -- A marker outside a Texas theatre identifies it as the place where police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for President Kennedy's assassination. But a JFK historian says the sign is inaccurate.

Farris Rookstool III says Oswald was arrested on that fateful day for murdering Officer JD Tippit, a policeman who tried to question him 45 minutes after the president was killed.

Oswald wasn't charged with the president's assassination until later that night, after he was already in custody. Rookstool said, "To have that kind of mistake at the front door of one of Dallas' most iconic landmarks is embarrassing - not only for the landmark but also the Texas Historical Commission and the Oak Cliff Foundation."

The state relied on the Register of National Historic Places to write the marker. But the National Register had the wrong information on file.

The foundation that owns the theatre is now spending $1600 to correct the error.
