There’s a shot! Oswald has been shot! Oswald has been shot! A shot rang out . . . mass confusion here. . . . The dark stocky man with the hat on . . . put the gun right in his belly. One of the wildest scenes I have ever seen. . . . The man rushed up and jammed the gun right into Oswald’s stomach and fired one shot. Oswald was carried back in the hallway . . . The man in the fedora was Jack Ruby, the febrile strip-club owner and cop buff
On the morning of Nov. 24, 1963, Ruby, who adulated the young president and his family, had gone to a nearby Western Union office to wire $25 to one of his strippers for her rent. Afterward he noticed a crowd gathering at the ramp leading to the basement of the police building. He wandered down the ramp and into the jammed area where the cops were supposedly maintaining tight security for Oswald’s transfer to the county jail. No one stopped Ruby.
Suddenly Ruby leapt from the pack, clutching the snub-nosed .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver he always carried, and fired a single, fatal shot into Oswald’s guts. He killed Oswald, he said, to spare Jacqueline Kennedy the ordeal of having to testify at the trial of the man who’d murdered her husband. He hadn’t planned it but couldn’t control himself when he saw Oswald’s smirking face that morning. “You killed my president, you rat,” he’d screamed as he shot Oswald. “I realize it is a terrible thing I have done, and it was a stupid thing, but I was just carried away emotionally.”

A shooting that would generate perhaps the most famous internet meme in history.

My mom claimed that there was a film clip at first that you could see on Oswald’s face that he knew what Jack Ruby was there for. She said they only showed it once.
Me too. Decades later I am still amazed that a person could walk into that police garage, unchecked, when a high value prisoner is being transferred.
Beat me to it. It was a band practice gone wrong...
The only thing that is missing is Yoko Ono singing.
Got home it was on all three TV channels.
And just like that, the story about JFK’s affair with a communist spy came to an end.
Oswald didn’t kill himself (and neither did Epstein).
Now that’s a very small stage.
Its a bit easier to gain such access when like Ruby, you worked for the Mob including running one of their joints in Havana, owned a strip joint in Dallas frequented by the police, could beat the girls that worked for you and never be charged for it, and bleat some nonsensical excuse for shooting Oswald that “he wanted to spare Jackie the trauma of a trial”. The excuse was accepted at face value by the media and the Warren Commission.
No mention of Ruby being a lifetime member of the mob?
Another tired attempt to give the stamp of approval to the deep state version fed to the deep state’s sheep.
The graffiti painted on the wall next to Lee Harvey Oswald’s head is the logo for the Punk Rock band the Dead Kennedys
There was a problem...Oswald captured alive. Ruby was well known to the cops thru corruption. He could get in to that basement. So the mob sent him in..he did his job. Oswald won’t talk and the secret is safe. There’s more, but not here. Oh and then they whacked Ruby in jail. All done nicely.
—”amazed that a person could walk into that police garage, unchecked”
Ruby took good care of his copper friends and was well known in the area.
My guess is, they just thought he wanted al look at Oswald?
