I’ve always thought it was Ruby protecting his family from threatened death if he didn’t take the fall. Either way, he was coerced.

Ruby knew he was going to die of cancer.

His mob bosses made a deal with him:

If he shot Oswald—they would take care of his family after he was gone.

Ruby ran night clubs for the mob.

The posts here are getting more and more clueless.

You hit the nail on the head. Ruby was Anthony Accardos guy in Dallas.
The mobs fingerprints were all over this after they helped Kennedy steal Cook County and then Bobby went after them... Hard.

JFK’s father, Joseph Kennedy, worked with the mob his whole life.

Sam Giancana said, “The biggest crook I ever dealt with was Joe Kennedy.”

New York mobster Frank Costello said, “I made Joe Kennedy his money.”

During Prohibition Kennedy used his high class contacts to bring liquor in from Europe, which the mob then rebottled and sold in the US speakeasies.

They didn’t just steal Cook County for Kennedy. They waited an entire day past the deadline to turn votes until they knew how many votes Kennedy needed to win the entire state of Illinois. Then they turned their delayed “vote count” in to give Kennedy the state and the presidency. Having Bobby turn on them after that was a dumb thing to do.

Look up the name Harry Aleman.

Columnist Dorothy Kilgallen was on the Ruby connection hard. Why she had to die.

I saw Oswald shot live on tv.

Ruby was the “police fixer” for the mob in Dallas. He let cops drink after hours, gave away hundreds of bottles of booze at christmas, got mob thugs off the hook for most any misdemeanor and some felonies, and was in the police station almost daily, nobody paid any attention to him being there, he was always there.

He was sent to Dallas from Chicago for that reason, he knew almost all of the 1200 member Dallas police force. Upbto his eyeballs in mafia connections, shot Oswald to shut him up.

When Oswald was broughg in, he was guided toward a door to his left, struggled aittle and said “I’m just a patsy”. I had to find out what that mea t, (almost 9 yesrs old) but I knew he was telling the truth, no matter what else he may have done. Now I’m pretty sure that’s when he realized he was being set up to take the rap for the JFK shooting.

I’m not sure he fired the rifle at all, he may have just left it for someone else, maybe not even knowing why. Their parrafin test for GSR showed gunshot residue on his hands, but not on his right cheek. Meaning he may have fired a pistol, but not a rifle.

He was questioned by a dallas cop and the building superintendant maybe 2 minutes after the shooting. He was in tbe lunchroom 4 floors down, calm and not sweaty, not nervous about the cop, said he was having lunch, had half a coke in his hand.

Shoot 3 shots at JFK. Hide the rifle. Run down 4 flights of stairs. Wolf down lunch and half a coke. In under 2 minutes, not winded or sweaty, and appeared calm when questioned by a cop????

Find the book “Conspiracy of Silence” by one of the doctors who treated JFK and Oswald. There’s lots more. Much of this comes from other books too.

Ruby was never successful in anything he did. The mob would have been pretty dumb to let him run anything. Tell me, why did Ruby’s clubs shut down after his arrest if they were mob owned? Why didn’t they just get a new manager?

You have such a deep knowledge of the mob.

And you do, is that right?

How about the Colony Club, down the street from the Carousel. Were the Weinstein brothers running mob joints too?
