Yes.

And had Ruby not shot him, he would've stood trial and gone to prison.

There was no grand governmental conspiracy with Boothe, Hinckley, Schrank or any of the others, there never is with this sorta thing. But just because frickin' Oswald called himself a "patsy" and was killed by a strip club owner who tossed off to Jackie O, we got ourselves some bullshite conspiracy that will never die.

When I was in school at LSU in 90's I worked at a department store. My manager attended SMU when JFK was killed. He told me a story once that the night of the assassination he and some buddies were in a diner downtown. It was them and only one other customer sitting in a booth. Back then they had evening papers and one of his friends had one that they were reading about what had happened, they were hard to find copies. The other diner walked over and asked if he could look at the classifieds, they gave them to him. He took them and few minutes later brought them back. Few minutes later he came back and asked for it again....he did this like 3 times. The last time he told them thank you and that if they were ever downtown to come be a guest at his club...it was Jack Ruby. Curious if he was looking for instructions in the classifieds.

Ok. Now let's all just take a moment and think this shite through a little.

Some shadowy, deep state cabal of hidden and powerful actors decide they want a sitting US President dead at the height of the cold war. Or maybe it's not the deep state but more like a consortium of mob bosses who don't want to be fricked with by the President's brother. If not them, then the KGB.

Anyway, it doesn't frickin' matter who or why. What matters is this...No one in their right fricking mind would put it in the hands of someone as dipshitty as Oswald, in a situation that had little chance of success.

Oswald, like all assassins got just close enough to get lucky.
