There is a story that some youngsters saw Oswald and Ruby talking outside the TSBD after the assassination. The mother of one of the kids reported it to police. For obvious reasons, nothing came of it. But, how likely is it that it's true? 

Pretty likely, I would say. We know that Ruby was there. Ruby was everywhere. He was at Parkland. He was in the Texas Theater and saw it all go down. George Appley said so. Ruby was in the Dallas PD- even in the homicide detectives' bureau when Oswald was led through. He was at the Midnight press conference. And of course, he was there when Oswald got killed, and he killed him. 

You think that with all that that he wasn't in Dealey Plaza during the assassination? You'd have to be out of your mind to think that. 

Vickie Adams said, swore, that when she got outside after the shots, Jack Ruby was there "barking orders and acting like a cop". She stuck to that to her dying day. And as you know, I believe he was the Fedora Man in the Altgens photo, and that he may have been turned and looking at Oswald at the time. 

So, Ruby being out there a few minutes later makes sense, and we know Oswald went out there a few minutes later. And if he saw Ruby, he'd have talked to him because they knew each other, and I mean well. They definitely knew each other. Multiple witnesses say they knew each other and were seen together at various times and locations- even different states. 

So, what would they have talked about? That's easy. They would have talked about what Oswald should now do. It's very possible that it was then that Ruby instructed Oswald to go to the Texas theater. You know somebody told him to go there. He was obviously trying to hook up with someone when he got there. So, who told Oswald to go to the Texas Theater? Ruby is as high on the list of possibilities as anyone you can name. 

And, the conversation would have included how he would go, and it surely would have settled on his taking public transportation. 

Remember: Oswald was supposed to be the "lone" gunman. The operative word is: lone. Lone gunmen can't get rides from anyone from the scene of the crime. That devastates the whole concept of "lone". And the conspirators knew that. They weren't the smartest people in the world, but they weren't the dumbest either. They were not going to have their lone patsy drive off with someone. 

So, Oswald gets outside, and he sees Ruby and talks to Ruby. And Ruby tells him to go to the theater because someone was going to meet him there to help him. Who? I don't know but not Ruby himself. It appears that Oswald didn't know the person he was supposed to meet, and that's why he sat next to several people. 

But, this wasn't Oswald's plan. It wasn't his idea. He didn't even know the person he was going to meet. You can imagine that he might have some misgivings about it. And that may explain why after walking for some blocks that he got on a bus to go back.

Why did he walk in the first place? He could have got on a bus sooner than he did, right? This was downtown Dallas on a major street, and the buses probably stopped every few blocks. So, why did he start off by walking? Maybe he had to think. Maybe he wasn't sure he wanted to get on that bus. And maybe after walking a while, he talked himself out of it. He started riding back to the Depository. And why did he ride? He had walked that far, so why not just walk back? Maybe it was because he thought someone was going to leave. Ruby? Frazier? Someone else? 

But then, he must have changed his mind again and gone back to the original plan. It is hardly an unusual thing. Don't people sometimes change their mind back and forth several times and even many times? 

And then, to make up for lost time, he grabbed a cab.

Now, I want you to realize something else: this story about Oswald interacting with Ruby outside the TSBD, if true, completely and totally destroys the claim that Oswald got into the Nash Rambler as per Roger Craig. 

Both, John Armstrong and Jim Douglass maintain that it was the other Oswald, the Oswald double, who got into the Nash Rambler and not the LHO the patsy. And Armstrong and Douglass are two of the sharpest minds in JFK assassination research. I have great respect for both of them and no respect for anybody who trashes them.
