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

The people who think that Ruby planned to shoot Oswald are demented. If he planned to shoot Oswald, he wouldn't have brought his dog along. He would have known that shooting Oswald in a crowd of police meant that he was never going back to his life. So, if anything, he would have arranged a new home for the dog before he did it, not brought it along.

And who shows up an hour and 20 minutes late to shoot somebody? The only time ever given for the jail transfer was 10 AM. And when it didn't happen at 10 AM, they gave no further guidance. So what, was Ruby both lazy and lucky that he got there an hour and 20 minutes late but it was exactly the right time? 

And how do you juxtapose sending somebody $25 and then killing Oswald? That's like having a "to do" list: drop off the dry cleaning, pick up some dog food, go kill Oswald. If you're going to kill Oswald, the piddling stuff doesn't matter. You don't bother with it. The idea that Ruby went from one to the other tells you that he could not have had any intention of killing Oswald.  

That Henry Wade got a jury to not only convict Ruby but sentence him to death is amazing. It's the most incredible verdict I know of in the history of jursiprudence. They sentenced a man to death for killing someone who was considered more deserving of death than anyone on the planet. It was considered a certainty that Oswald was going to fry, and Henry Wade said so himself. So then he wanted to kill Ruby for doing it ahead  of him? You couldn't make that up. And I'm a guy who makes stuff up. I've written four feature films. 

So, the people who blather on about the Mafia ordering Ruby to kill Oswald, threatening to kill his sister if he didn't do it- and mind you, there isn't a speck of evidence for that- are either delusional, or they are working for the other side. And I do believe a concerted effort was made to demonize Ruby, including an elaborate false biography where he was Mafioso, a hit man, a pimp, a gun-runner, etc. 

Ruby was tricked into going to the police garage, starting with the Karen Carlin ruse. When it comes to the JFK assassinations, I don't believe in coincidences. I say that somebody put her up to calling Ruby and prodding him to wire her the money. And Ruby tried to get out of it; not because he minded giving her $25. He told her that he'd give it to her the next day, Monday. They were reopening the Carousel Club, and she was scheduled to work. But no, that wasn't good enouugh. She needed the money on Sunday. 

So, Ruby went to Western Union to do it. Are you aware that the Carousel Club was right across the street, on the other side of Main? It wasn't directly across the street. It was a little ways down, but not much. And the reason he brought Sheba along was because he was going to drop her off at the Carousel Club after he sent the money wire, and somebody there was going to take care of her that day. 

But, what were those people gathered at the Main Street ramp for? It was an incoming ramp. So, why were they there? Who were they waiting to see? Who did they think was going to be arriving? I'll tell you who: Jack Ruby. They were there to be a magnet for him. 

Jack Ruby was pretty stoned that morning. He said in his narrative that he took twice his usual dose of amphetamines plus some other tablets. But who writes a narrative that way? Wouldn't you explain why you did that, and what the other tablets were? Wouldn't it be incoherent not to? But, his narrative was edited. It was also given headings, and it wasn't his doing. The Hollywood screenwriter William Reed Woodfield was brought in to be his co-writer, and no doubt Woodfield did it. And look what he did! Ruby said that he got up early on Sunday morning. But, Woodfield added the heading "Approximately 9:30 A.M."  9:30 is not early. If you didn't get up until 9:30, you got up late. So, I'm sure Ruby didn't mean that he got up at 9:30. And the reason why Woodfield did it is because the story was that Ruby got up, got dressed, ate breakfast and left. And it was only 5 minute drive to Western Union. So, to get him there at 11 AM, they needed to say that he didn't get up until 9:30. But, I'm telling you that Ruby got to WU an hour earlier than they claim. And likewise, he got to the garage an hour earlier. And when he got to the garage, they jumped him and hustled him up to the 5th floor jail. And there, they told him that he shot Oswald. So, it's no wonder that the title of Ruby's narrative is: THEY TOLD ME I SHOT OSWALD. It's the only way he came to accept that he shot Oswald. He had no memory of doing it. He had no thought of doing it. And he no inclination to do it. He said in one of his statements to the press that what he felt that weekend was sadness and remorse over the President dying but not anger. He said, and I quote, that the word anger is not in his vocabulary. And I believe him. Jack Ruby was a childlike person. He had no deviousness in him. He had no propensity to violence. Everything you've heard, that he beat men up, threw people down the stairs, and got rough with women was made up. It was a phony narrative they created about him. And there are plenty of phony Ruby sightings too. He never went to the DPD on Friday afternoon where he was supposedly stalking Oswald. And the picture that they show of him for that was from late Friday night at the Midnight Press Conference. And Ruby did not go there to stalk Oswald either. He went there to deliver sandwiches to the detectives, and when Richard Sims turned him down, he sought to give them to a television crew that was working there. He had to do something with them. 

I'm attachingi the title of Ruby's narrative along with the part where Woodfield pulled a sleight of hand, saying Ruby got up early at 9:30. It also includes what Ruby said about the extra drugs he took that morning.
