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

So, let's consider that there are two things that Dallas Police did in connection with apprehending Jack Ruby that have never been done before or since in the history and annals of police work.

1. They took a violent offender somewhere without first putting him in restraints. I am referring to taking "Ruby" from the police basement into the jail office. What excuse is there for not getting handcuffs on him right there in the garage, before taking him anywhere?  There is no excuse. 

And, what is really eerie about it is that all of them knew that that was what they were doing. Doesn't it seem like one or more would have pulled out his handcuffs in the garage, expecting to put them on him there? No one did. No one sought to do the normal thing- which was to restrain the violent offender, to get him in handcuffs right there in the garage. And it's not as though someone in charge shouted an order, "Take him into the jail office; we'll cuff him there." So, how did they know to do it? It must have been pre-arranged. 

 2. So, as soon as they got through the door, they pushed Ruby down to the ground and put handcuffs on him.  Then, the story became that they kept him on the ground for a while. Then, they stood him up and led him to the elevator which took him up to the  5th floor jail. And this is a picture of them doing that. They never claimed to remove his jacket from him in the jail office. And why would they? In that picture, the cops are supposedly looking down at Oswald on the ground.  But, were they? Who knows. But, how did Ruby get out of his jacket? If they cuffed him immediately, he should have had his jacket on.

So, Ruby is supposedly disheveled from the fracas, but where's his jacket? And why would he get that disheveled if he was wearing  a jacket during the fracas? And his shirt is unbuttoned presumably because the buttons got ripped off during the fracas? Because if that didn't happen, it means they unbuttoned him for show. Then how did he wind up being buttoned up later?

So, how did he wind up looking like that? His shirt is OK. It's buttoned  up. And what about his hair? How did he go from looking like Ted Kacynski to this?

It was all scriptwriting, and they didn't consider the internal consistency of the story they were writing. Jack Ruby was innocent. He was as innocent as Oswald. Ruby was not in the Mafia. He was not a gun runner. He was not a hit man. All of that was just more scriptwriting. 

Please join the campaign to exonerate Jack Ruby because he and Oswald are the most wrongfully accused men who ever lived. 




But, once they got him upstairs, they must have immediately removed his handcuffs, and then they told him to undress. One has to wonder how that conversation went. 

Jailer: All right, now take off your clothes.
Ruby: What?
Jailer: I said: take off your clothes. We need them. 
Ruby: What do you need them for? 
Jailer: Look:  you don't ask the questions here; you just do what you're told.
Ruby: Well, what am I supposed to wear?
Jailer:  You can just stay in your drawers. 
Ruby:  What? Are you nuts?
Jailer: Look: you just shot a man, Ruby, and he's probably going to die. Now, give us your clothes. 

But then it got worse. There is no narrative about this; nobody described it in a book; but it is in the official record that they also stripped Jack Ruby of his underwear. That's right; they got him buck naked.

Jailer: All right, now off with the underwear.
Ruby: What?
Jailer: I said off with your underwear. You are pissing me off, Ruby. 
Ruby: I am not giving  you my fucking underwear. I shoot a man, and the first thing  you want from me is my sweaty underwear? I want to see a lawyer.
Jailer: Look: I just want your underwear. Tell you what. I'll get you some replacement underwear; then you can go in that closet over there and put them on, and give me what you're wearing.  
Ruby: You keep men's underwear around here?
Jailer: Yeah, we got 'em in every size.

It's just ridiculous. It didn't happen. They just added it to the story because of the sock discrepancy. 

Look, people, the whole story is a crock o' shit. Ruby did not shoot Oswald. He reached the garage early, an hour before, or nearly that long. They jumped him. They hustled him upstairs. They stripped him down to his underwear. And they gave his clothes to Bookhout.
