I know that many people recoil when they hear me state that Jack Ruby was innocent. But, if they would just consider these facts, they'll get over it, and they can get on the right side of history.
1. It was broadly announced that Oswald's jail transfer was going to occur at 10 AM. So, why would Ruby wait until 11:20 AM to show up? Who shows up an hour and twenty minutes late to a killing?
I know there's a JFK buff named Tom something who claims that Ruby was in cahoots with the Dallas Police, and they somehow signalled him about when to come. But, that is ridiculous because Ruby could not have been in cahoots with the Dallas Police. If he was, they would have had to kill him promptly. How could they trust him to keep his mouth shut if he knew of their complicity? And why would Ruby participate in a conspiracy in which him frying in the electric chair was the desired outcome? It is not only super-ridiculous to think the Dallas Police would trust Ruby to keep his mouth shut about their complicity, it is equally ridiculous to think they would trust him to shoot Oswald in the first place. Ruby was a scatterbrain. He was a talkaholic. He was declared legally insane. And there was no record of him ever shooting a gun at anyone or anything. Not even in the Military. He was a mechanic in the Military. The idea that they would trust him with shooting Oswald is insane. They didn't need him for that. They just needed him to take the blame for it.
2. Why would Ruby juxtapose sending a $25 money wire to an employee with shooting Oswald? If he was going to shoot Oswald, he had to know that he was destroying his life, right? That includes his business and everything else; all gone forever. Even a "to do" list has got to make sense, and sending a $25 money order to an employee and then going off to kill someone in a complete act of self-destruction makes no sense.
3. Why, after he supposedly shot Oswald and police pounced on him did Ruby say, "What are you doing? You know me. I'm Jack Ruby. I'm not some criminal." Why would he say that if he just shot Oswald? Didn't he know that Police frown on that kind of thing? He said it because he got to the garage early, and the Police just pounced on him. He hadn't done anything, and that's why he said what he did.
4. If he knew he was going to shoot Oswald, why did Ruby bring his beloved dog Sheba along and leave her in his car? Didn't he know he wasn't returning to that car? Shouldn't he have found a permanent home for her and his other dogs beforehand if he knew he was going to shoot Oswald? It makes no sense for him to have brought her along to a planned killing.
5. The claim is often made that the CIA or the Mafia ordered Ruby to shoot Oswald, but when? We know Ruby's whereabouts every minute from Thursday the 21 until Sunday the 24th- and beyond. We know every single phone call he made or received. So, when, where, and how did the CIA or the Mafia contact him when no window for such a contact exists?
6. There is absolutely no doubt that Ruby lacked any personal desire to shoot Oswald. He said repeatedly that the thought never crossed his mind. He denied being angry at Oswald. He told reporters that the prmary feeling that dogged him that weekend was "remorse" over the loss of the President.
7. Ruby had an almost pathological admiration for the Dallas Police. He worshipped them. They were his heroes the way ball players and movie stars are looked up to by others. The idea that he would have usurped their operation is preposterous. He had no arrogance towards the Dallas Police.
8. There is no reliable evidence that Ruby was a Mafioso. There are hearsay claims that Ruby was at this Mafia meeting, that Mafia meeting, that he was at the Murchison party the night before JFK was killed, etc. etc. All of that is just lipflapping that should be categorically rejected. Ruby ran two independent nightclubs in Dallas that were not Mafia assets. There is no bankable evidence that Ruby belonged to the Mafia or ever did anything on behalf of the Mafia. Ever.
9. It is often claimed that Ruby shot Oswald because the Mafia threatened to kill his sister if he didn't. There is no evidence for that whatsoever. There isn't even hearsay evidence for it. There isn't the slightest lip-flap for it. There is nothing for it. It is simply a fabrication, i.e., a lie.
10. But, what about the idea that, OK, Ruby didn't go there to shoot Oswald, but once he got there and saw Oswald, he was overcome with an irresitable impulse to shoot Oswald which happened spontaneously- at the spur of the moment? Isn't that what his lawyers argued?
Not exactly. They went further than that. They claimed that he lost consciousness and awareness, that it happened in the midst of psychomotor epileptic fit, where instead of his muscles spasming uncontrollably, he performed the precise and delicate movement of pulling the trigger of a gun- all as part of his seizure. Basically, they claimed that he did it within a sleep-walk. It was preposterous then, and it is preposterous now. Medicine will tell you that a person pulling the trigger of a gun as part of a seizure is impossible. So, why did Ruby's lawyers claim it? They claimed it because Ruby told them that he had no thought of shooting Oswald, no memory of shooting Oswald, and no mental linkage whatsoever with doing it. So, they figured he must have been asleep when he did it. In reality, he had no memory of doing it because he didn't do it. You can only form a memory of things that actually happened. Ruby said that all he could remember was that the reached the basement and then the police jumped him. He remembered it that way because that is exactly what happened. Nothing more and nothing less.
Jack Ruby was innocent; completely, totally innocent. And if you don't get on board with that, then you are cleaning the toilets of the men who killed not just Oswald but JFK. If you want to be slaves to them, go ahead, but don't pretend otherwise. JFK truth makes extolling the innocence of Jack Ruby a necessity. Unless you defend Jack Ruby, you're not one of the good guys in this historic battle for truth. All else that you espouse is for naught if you don't get it that Jack Ruby was innocent.
