Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

There is something else that should convince you that Ruby really didn't do it. It was reported by Ruby and the cops who subdued him that when the melee broke out, Ruby spoke. He said: "What are you doing? I'm Jack Ruby, not some criminal. You know me." That 's how Ruby put it, but the cops said something similar. 

But, how could Ruby say that if he had just shot Oswald? Wouldn't he know what they're doing it and why they're doing it? Didn't he know that cops don't like it when you shoot a prisoner that they are escorting? 

That statement proves that Ruby was not aware of having done anything. So, what are you going to believe? That he did it unconsciously, and quickly came to? That it was a 3 second sleep-walk? But, what reason is there to believe that? What would be the medical basis for believing it? 

No. Occam would tell you that if he was unaware of doing it, the most likely thing is that he didn't do it.

But, there's more. Reporters who were in the garage were asked if the shooter said anything, and they said  that he didn't say a word. Furthermore, we can watch the films, which come with sound, and we can see for ourselves that the shooter never spoke. That is, we don't hear him say anything, and we never see him in the act of speaking. We never see him talking. 

So, the shooter at the televised spectacle did not speak, but Ruby reportedly did, and that means that they were two separate events. Ruby got there early. And it makes sense that he did because he said he got up early, and all he did was get dressed and eat breakfast before going to Western Union. Are you aware that he only lived 2  1/2  miles away? It was probably a 5 minute drive back then. So, it makes sense that he would have been there an hour earlier at 10:15.

Then, there is the fact that Ruby described a different situation at the top of the ramp when he arrived there than existed at 11:15. Ruby only saw Lt. Pierce and no one else in the squad car. But, at 11:15, Pierce had two other cops with him in the car: Sergeant Maxie and Officer Putnam.  

There is also the fact that Ruby said he didn't know the uniformed officer who was talking to Pierce from the driver side as Ruby approached from the passenger side.  But, Ruby did know Roy Vaughan. They had met several times, and once, Vaughan forgave a traffic violation that Ruby committed for which Vaughan pulled him over. He forgave him "because he was a friend of the Department."  Do you think Ruby could have forgotten Vaughan after he did that for him?  No way. They were two different situations and at two different times. 

Jack Ruby was innocent. He got to the garage early, where he immediately got jumped and was hustled up to the 5th floor; and that is where he was when the televised spectacle took place, which was pure theater, with FBI Agent James Bookhout starring as Jack Ruby.  And to make sure Ruby didn't go anywhere, they stripped him down to his underwear and kept him like that on the 5th floor until it was time for him to go down to the 3rd floor to be interviewed by Will Fritz who had returned from Parkland Hospital after Oswald died. And it was there on the 3rd floor, around 3 pm, that Ruby got woven into the story for the first time. That's where they did the switch in the bait and switch. But, his eyes were still glassy and dilated and with a transfixed stare from the drugs he was given that morning. It's a pretty freaky look for him to have at a time like that.
