Why was Jack Ruby allowed to get within 2 feet of LHO?

Because there was little to no security at the Dallas city jail that day. Most of the journalists who where there were on TV all weekend talking about it. Almost to a man they mentioned the lax security. One rehearsed running down the stair a couple of times to see if he would be stopped. He wasn't. Bob Schieffer told about how he simply put on a snap-brim fedora so he would "look like" a detective and walked in with Oswald's mother into an interrogation room. He kept slipping out to file his stories and coming back in! Ruby was there touting his Carousel Club to the reporters telling them to come on down afterwards -- he had booze, women, and entertainment. Ruby had no problem getting in as he let the policemen in the club free and he often hung out there with them so he could "keep up with" what was going on in Dallas.

Exactly, there was no security that day. The reporters even mention it, and I noticed it too..as a 12 year old watching on TV, now you are free to believe that "Security" hadn't been discovered yet or that the Dallas Police Department was just having a bad day, and at the same time the FBI and or CIA, felt they should just stay out of it, as it was a local issue. Or you can find it somewhat suspicous. Whatever your reasons for being so accepting of this major screw-up. I don't accept it. How do you feel about Ruby dying of cancer 3 yers later, after being granted a new trial...another amazing co-incidence?
