What evidence is there that Jack Ruby was a “minor underworld figure?”

There is a lot of evidence that he was more than just the owner of a burlesque club.

He was a gun runner and a low level person in the mob. He was connected to Cuban affairs and was a sleazy figure even in the 1920’s (bootlegging), 1930’s all the way through 1959, when Batista was toppled in Cuba.

One thing was known about Ruby, he knew how to keep his mouth shut and that is why he was considered a reliable hit man to take out Oswald.

Ruby had connections with the entire Dallas syndicate and Police force. That is why he had no problem entering the underground parking structure to kill Oswald. Cops were very familiar with him and he was part of the good old boys network. Hey Jack, watcha’ doin’ here”?

In addition, Ruby was present in the Dallas police HQ, the night Oswald was paraded in front of the press. When Dallas DA Henry Wade stated that Oswald was the member of a pro-Cuban committee, it was Ruby, (standing in the background) that corrected Wade by blurting out, “That's the Fair Play for Cuba Committee”. Ruby corrected Wade's mistake.

Why was Ruby there? Why did Ruby correct the DA? Why was he in the room, a short distance away from Oswald? Ruby tried to enter the interrogation rooms several times and was stopped. Why? Because he was trying to get to Oswald and kill him BEFORE he actually did, in the parking garage.

Ruby was a known quantity to the Dallas Police and the Mob. He did not kill Oswald as is stated in the Warren Report, to “spare Mrs. Kennedy and her children the anguish of a trial”.

Wake up folks, it's been 50 years.

A year after his conviction, in March 1965, Ruby conducted a brief televised news conference in which he stated: “Everything pertaining to what’s happening has never come to the surface. The world will never know the true facts of what occurred, my motives. The people who had so much to gain, and had such an ulterior motive for putting me in the position I’m in, will never let the true facts come above board to the world.” When asked by a reporter, “Are these people in very high positions Jack?”, he responded “Yes.”
