The Jackson photo on the left shows that the Shooter wore light socks. Ruby wore black socks, as seen on the right in his mug shot. The shoes are different too. The Shooter wore dressy wingtips. Ruby had on high-top work shoes.
So, the story quickly became that they changed every stitch of clothing on Ruby's body at the City Jail, including his underwear. Do you realize how ridiculous that is? He was only going to be there overnight. The next morning, he was transferred to the County Jail. As soon as you're arraigned, you leave. You're either sent to the County Jail or you go home. So, for such a short stay, why would they need to change his clothing at all? Oswald wasn't provided with any clothing. Even the clothes he wore on Sunday morning were his own clothes, obtained from his boarding room. But, Ruby was provided with the white cabana outfit (which was not a jail uniform, since there were no jail uniforms) shoes, socks, underwear- the works. It's absurd, and it's a lie. It was really just a production error. And being a filmmaker, I know about production errors and how easy they are to make. It is just something that fell through the cracks. Nobody told Bookhout what color socks to wear or what kind of shoes to wear. And there was no reason why they had to include Ruby's shoes and socks in the mug shot- but they did. The best laid plans of mice and men...
But, what excuse did people have, then and now, to fall for this ridiculous story that they changed Ruby's underwear? What makes people so brainless to accept such ridiculous government decrees? I attribute the mindlessness to a disease that I call Americana. Reporters had it. Ruby's own lawyers had it. People have it today. It's the belief that things like this don't happen in America. They happened in Soviet Russia, and they happen in Putin's Russia and in Communist China, but not in America. Well, it happened in America. The Dallas Police killed Oswald, and they finagled Ruby into being there just so that they had someone to blame. And he was so mentally deranged that he was helpless to help himself. If he was mentally sound, he would have screamed bloody murder and fought it, but he was docile and submissive.
And there was another production error. They had Bookhout use his middle finger as his trigger finger. Why would Ruby have done that? Why would Ruby have even given thought to it? Even little boys know, when they play with toy guns, that the index finger is the trigger finger. The fact was that Ruby's left index finger was amputated. But, he was right-handed, so it didn't matter. I think there was some misinformation. I think they told Bookhout to use his middle finger because Ruby's right hand had the amputation. But, it was his left, so there was no reason for him to use his middle finger.
And Ruby's lawyers asked Ruby why he used his middle finger. And his response was, "I can't even remember doing it, and I never gave any thought to doing it. So, how can I tell you why I used my middle finger?" That should have alerted his lawyers that there was something terribly wrong with the story. That should have led them to the truth that Ruby didn't do it. But, it didn't, and again, it was because of the mental illness that I call Americana. ALL HIS LAWYERS HAD TO DO WAS LOOK CLOSELY AT THE IMAGES OF THE SHOOTER AND COMPARE THEM TO RUBY, AND THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT IT WASN'T HIM. That's all they had to do, but they didn't do it. Americana is a terrible disease. It blinds people.
