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

I am holding my Smith and Wesson .38 with my middle finger engaging the trigger, and you see where my index finger winds up. I guess one could try to crimp it. But, are we going to assign that to Ruby too? The official story has it that Ruby shot Oswald suddenly, impulsively, in a moment of madness. His lawyer, Elmer Getz, even wrote a book "Moment of Madness." And that's exactly how it was depicted in the tv movie "Ruby and Oswald" which you can watch here in its entirety.

But, the other official story, which they are entirely OK with you believing, and even encourage you to believe, is that Ruby did it with pre-meditation, that the Mafia ordered him to shoot Oswald, and they threatened to kill his sister if he didn't. There is no evidence for it. None. But, that doesn't stop people from believing shit. 

So, he went to the Garage to do it and brought his dog along, not liking to drive alone, and because his dog liked to get out. But, didn't he know that once he shot Oswald, that the police were going to grab him and take him away? So, why did he bring his dog along? 

If Ruby did it impulsively, as an act of "psychomotor epilepsy" as his lawyer called it, then obviously he wouldn't think about making a fashion statement in the way he pulled the trigger. Realize that there is a STRONG impulse to use your index finger because the gun is designed for it; your hand is designed for it; and the fact is that you wield a lot more strength, power, and control when you use your index finger. 

Did I mention that these little snub-nose revolvers have a hell of a lot of recoil?  I feel it strongly when I shoot it with two hands. Imagine how much more shooting it with one. And remember what the cause of the recoil is: Newton's 3rd law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  

Just from pulling the trigger with my middle finger with the gun unloaded, I can tell that I can't control it as well as I can when using my index finger. It isn't even close. 

But, the idea that Ruby would have thought about making a fashion statement by doing it with his middle finger is preposterous. Of course, he would have used the gun in the way that it conformed to his hand, using his index finger,  And if he had done otherwise, we'd have seen the result of it. There would have been no hiding it. 

So, everyone needs to stop fighting this. Everyone needs to admit that the Jackson photo is NOT legit. It is a staged photo that was taken beforehand; not during the Garage Spectacle. The whole arrangement of the people is different than what we see in the films of the Garage Spectacle. And that is not Jack Ruby, not in the staged Jackson photo and not in the films. It is James Bookhout. Ruby was already tucked away on the 5th floor, being held in his underwear, waiting to be inserted into the flow of the story. It was an incredible bait and switch. 

Jack Ruby was innocent. Completely, totally, categorically, and irrefutably innocent. He no more shot Oswald than you did. And the people who keep insisting that he did, even after being shown this, are not genuine. If you genuinely believe in Oswald's innocence, you will genuinely believe in Ruby's innocence. They were both framed and innocent. The same people who killed Kennedy killed Oswald, that is, they got the Dallas Police to do it. It is VERY likely that LBJ personally put the Dallas Police up to killing Oswald. Remember: he personally knew Boyd and Sims. He hired them to be his security whenever he visited Dallas. And his closest aide Cliff Carter called Fritz repeatedly, telling him to shut down the investigation because he had his man. He was telling him that on Friday afternoon!   

Jack Ruby brought his dog along because he fully expected that it was going to be an ordinary day for him. You realize that the Carousel Club was just down the street from Western Union, on the other side of the street. He was taking the dog to the Carousel Club because there was someone there who would look after her.  And from there, he was going to go to the new apartment he was soon going to be move into. He was very excited about that. He had absolutely no thought that he was going to shoot Oswald and then be incarcerated for the rest of his life until he was put to death. If that was his thought, his actions that morning would have been very different. 

So, listen to me: If you are truly an Oswald defender, and realize that there are a lot of phony Oswald defenders out there because they are still working the cover-up hard with Ops galore, then you need to be a Ruby defender. You are NOT defending Oswald if you say that Ruby shot him. You are aiding and abetting Oswald's killers if you say that Ruby shot him.
