Jack Ruby grew up as Jack Rubenstein in Chicago. One of his boyhood friends was Johnny Roselie. Roselli was the Don of Los Angeles. When Oswald fled from the Texas Book Depository he ran to a movie house. The plan for Dallas PD was to take out Oswald, but he ran. In the movie theatre when Oswald saw the cops running in with guns drawn, he stood up raised his hands and gave up. The cops couldnt shoot him down in front of witnesses. Plan was Oswald had to go; dead men dont talk. Roselli contacts Ruby and Oswald dies. All planned. Oswald told the truth when he told the reporter he didnt kill anyone, he was a patsy and was set up.

They almost whacked JFK in Tampa several weeks before but the hit was called off on scene minutes before the shooting started. Giancana (Chicago) Trafficante (Tampa) and Marcellos(New Orleans) all wanted JFK dead.

Not a good bunch to have after you. Not at all.

Oswald had been set up and it began months before the assassination. Kennedy had a lengthy list of enemies, itching to pull the trigger. Four days before Dallas. An agent of the Miami SS office told author Vincent Palamara that the threats they received against Kennedy's life in Miami were "above normal". After the trip, JFK remarked to an aide, "Thank God nobody wanted to kill me today." Another agent said, "We knew there were people who wanted him dead ...and those of us regularly assigned to the White House detail had a pretty good idea that somebody had been stalking him for a long time. I think Kennedy also knew some kind of attempt might be coming..." All of which makes the Secret Service's incompetence protecting the President in Dallas all the more striking. Although they were aware the President was being stalked (from Chicago to Miami to Dallas) they allowed him to ride in an open limousine through congested city streets, without any agents on the bumper, into the slow dog-leg turn into Dealey Plaza and, with the exception of one agent acting too late, did little when they heard shots fired. Not one of them was punished for drinking into the wee hours the night before the assassination; few showed any remorse for failing so abysmally to do their job. Some were even promoted afterwards. Everyone should draw their own conclusions.

All correct except there is a little more to the theater story.

Dallas had a reputation for there NEVER having been a cop killer arrested. They ALWAYS resisted arrest.

When Oswald was cornered in the theater, a Dallas detective threw him to the ground and fell on top of him. The other police officers were screaming for him to get out of the way but he wouldn’t. Later in the police station, a captain came by his desk and said, ‘why is there a (censored) cop killer in my station breathing air?” When the detective wrote about these events years later he said, “at that moment I knew my career with the Dallas PD was over.” And it was. Oswald was NOT supposed to leave the theater alive. Not because he had killed Kennedy, but because he had killed a Dallas cop.
