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.
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.

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?
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.
