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

 So, this is the ambulance driver Michael Hardin's testimony about how he went to Parkland:

Mr. HARDIN: We went east on Commerce to the Pearl Expressway, and north on the expressway to Elm, and then west on Elm to Harwood, and then north on Harwood to Harry Hines, and north on Harry Hines to Parkland.

Mr. HUBERT. And what happened when you got to Parkland?

Notice that Mr. Hubert of the Warren Commission didn't dwell on why Hardin went that way. He didn't ask him if it was the fastest route. No, he very much wanted to change the subject.

But, I am attaching a map of what Hardin did, which shows that he made a totally unnecessary loop. That loop marked by the three red arrows was totally unnecessary and superfluous. He easily could have turned right on Commerce, then right again on Harwood and been right where that long loop was going to take him.

So, why did he go that way? He was an ambulance driver in an emergency, which meant that he did not have to obey traffic laws. Someone's life was on the line.

But, who was calling the shots? Detectives Leavelle and Dhority were in the ambulance. Graves was supposed to be too, but he lied. There wasn't even room for him. He drove a police car to the hospital and lied about it to the Warren Commission.

So, did Leavelle and Dhority order Hardin to turn left on Commerce and go the way that he did? They had to wait for the armored truck to be moved out of the way. So, they could have told him then to just turn right on Commerce. After all, they were Dallas cops, and they certainly knew their way around the city. They had to know that Hardin to Harry Hines was the straight shot to Parkland Hospital.

So, I think it's likely that they ordered him to go the way that he did. But again, it doesn't matter because: ANYTHING LESS THAN ORDERING HIM TO TURN RIGHT TO HARWOOD WAS COMPLICITY IN OSWALD'S DEATH. They should have made sure that he did it, regardess of what he thought.

So, now you know that the Dallas Police were involved in killing Oswald. But, did they conspire with Ruby to do it? No! Their plan for Ruby was for him to be convicted and electrocuted. Would you participate in a plan that was seeking for you to fry? Of course not. Well, neither would Ruby. They weren't conspiring with him. They conspired against him. They tricked him into believing that he shot Oswald.

If they had conspired with him, they would have had to kill him forthwith. How could they trust him to keep his mouth shut and put on an act for the rest of his life? To lie to his family, his friends, his interrogators, and his lawyers? How long could he have kept that up before spilling the beans? Would they have taken that chance? To rely on and trust Jack Ruby to keep up the non-stop act, the non-stop lie just to protect them? What if he changed his mind? People have been known to do that. Do you think they were going to go to bed each night wondering if tomorrow would be the day that Jack Ruby squeals?

No way. The reason Jack Ruby was allowed to live for 3 years is because he had nothing to tell.

What I, and Dee McFarlane and Shaun Horrigan have been telling you is the truth. Jack Ruby was innocent.

It's a new year. So, I say we start it on a note of truth and defiance that both Oswald and Ruby were innocent. We should do it for them- and for ourselves.
