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.”

—” it was on all three TV channels.”
My parents had a massive TV, AM-FM/ 33-45 record player, and liquor cabinet in the living room and moved a smaller TV to the adjacent dining room... Set to different channels so as not to miss anything.
And I just happened to be standing there as it happened.
I was 9. It was Sunday morning in AZ.
I was alone in the TV room sitting on the floor watching all the coverage. My mom was in the next room, dad down the hall.
I was staring at the screen as Oswald was brought out. Suddenly Ruby shot him.
My little 9 year old brain couldn’t process it immediately. I sat there for about 30 seconds and walked over to my mom and said something like: “Oswald got shot mom”. She pooh poohed me and hushed me up.
I went back to the TV and watched for another minute or so. Then I went back to mom and told her again. This time she went over to the TV room and realized I was telling the truth and called for my father.

Did Jack Ruby’s family suddenly come into lot of extra funds following this?
JFK liked a piece.
—”JFK liked a piece.”
I think JFK liked to run the whole smorgasbord!
And I was one of the few who didn't see until long afterward.
It was a Sunday and CBS had decided NOT to show the NFL Giants, so a friend of mine and I were on our way to Yankee Stadium to get tickets and see the game.

The book is a review of Ruby’s trial-—nothing else.
The book got rave reviews by all the deep state media reviewers.
I don’t need to read any further.

Could you pls tell me more about your process?
Clearly faster than Evelyn Wood speed reading!
Not being all that quick, I have to actually read the book, not just the cover or the first paragraph.
How do you weigh the individual blurbs to determine value?
And in today’s world how do you trust any of them?
Is there a service that does this for you?
An app?
Again how do you trust them?
“Even paranoids have real enemies.”
If Oswald was convicted of killing Kennedy without question he would have been given the death penalty, so Rubys reason of revenge doesn’t quite add up. The whole thing to me reeks of commies. They took out JFK, shut up Oswald who called himself a patsy, the commies took over the democrap party and here we are today
Sorry, he was not a member of the mob. Small time hanger on at best.
—”Oswald was just an innocent musician.”
That is what they all say.
Yes, an up-and-coming rap artist!
He was on the charts!
Number 19 with a bullet.
—”If Oswald... “

I’d agree. Classic.
That is in the film we are used to seeing. Oswald glances to his left. His expression might have changed, I think it’s very subjective, he took another couple of steps or so, and then Ruby shot. I’ve never bought that story.
There’s been a rumor floating around for decades. It says that a high definition film was taken by and for the hit team. Supposedly, starting with LBJ, the film is shown to each new president within a day or so of their Inauguration, just to make abundantly clear who actually calls the shots. So to speak.
All the “loose ends” tied in a neat little bow. Even took care of the “frayed ends” who took care of the loose ends as well, Since no has talked to this day.
Yeah I saw it live as well. It was a big deal at the time.
