Why would someone need to kill Ruby?
To silence him, obviously, as according to the theory, Oswald needed to be silenced for his involvement in Kennedy's murder. Ruby would have had some knowledge of who paid him.
Another problem with the theory that Ruby was involved in a cover-up, was that he brought his two dogs with him that day (if he knew it was going to possibly be a one-way trip, he did murder Oswald with a swarm of police around, why bring his beloved pets with him to leave in a car?). He also stopped off to wire one of his strippers some money, and as a result nearly missed Oswald. Ruby also had no knowledge of when the police were bringing Oswald out to transfer him. And it was Oswald's stopping to change shirts which delayed his transfer long enough for Ruby to happen upon him at the police station.

Why didn't Oswald take the much easier shot when the motorcade was coming directly toward him, unless he expected crossfire from the grassy knoll?

Perhaps, because that wasn't the easier shot. We'd have to ask Oswald, I guess.

He’s not the only one. A lot of people have followed similar paths.
The majority of people that think it was a conspiracy are ignorant of most of the facts. There are many just like him that discard one conspiracy after another once they educate themselves. They eventually come to the conclusion it was Oswald alone on the 6th floor.
Well said and absolutely correct. Once you dig in and educate yourself about the happenings leading to the assassination you realize that it was a long shot that Oswald would be able to pull it off and I think people just cannot accept that a lone communist kook was able to take out the president of the US with a $12 mail-order rifle.

That house subcommittee determined that there was a second shooter.
That is true, and they based it mostly on acoustic evidence at the time that has since been discredited.
Correct. There was a motorcycle cop whose cb mic was stuck in the open position and they recorded 4 shots thus suggesting the existence of a 2nd shooter. Later it was determined that Dealy Plaza was a veritable echo chamber and that the 4th shot was in fact an echo rather than another shot.

Correct. If you read the book "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner all of this is made clear. Now I know what you're thinking, maybe another book says something else but Posner is unique. He started writing the book with the supposition that there was a conspiracy but by the time he had done all the research he had concluded just the opposite that Oswald acted alone. He gives footnotes to every fact he uses so you can verify any claim he makes.
A book everyone should read.

They weren't captain "no". Thread is full of DAMN dumb.

#1 is a farce. This is the same as saying that you'd have to believe his next door neighbor was involved because he lived next door to him or that his first grade teacher was involved because she taught him in first grade.

It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma!

Here's my dad's story. I've posted it here before in some JFK threads.
Dad worked as an electronics/radar technician at Lakefront Airport in NOLA in 1963. David Ferrie was a known quantity at the airport which was a pretty small community to begin with. The thing dad remembered most about him was his ability to converse knowledgeably about any subject that came up. His appearance was disheveled. He dressed in clothes that didn't match or fit well and wore glued on costume eyebrows.
Ferrie was involved in the Civil Air Patrol which met out there at the Airport and he was Carlos Marcello's pilot of choice. Both of these were no secret. Neither were semi-routine flights to air strips on the north shore of the lake carrying supplies that appeared to support some type of an encampment.
Dad worked mid shift the day JFK was killed. When he arrived to work, of course the big news that the President was shot. Other thing was there were men who had presented credentials of federal law enforcement to the airport superiors.
They were there looking for David Ferrie - by name - the day JFK was shot, only minutes after Oswald had been arrested in Dallas. They were there because they had information that he would be arriving at the airport from Dallas, presumably as the pilot of a small aircraft.
Ferrie never arrived and they left with no explanation of why they were looking for him.

Why didn't Oswald claim responsibility for pullling off the greatest crime ever? He was a political activist, right? Why did he not brag about it? Why deny it?

Read Jim Garrison’s book. There were lots of strange events in NOLA and southeast Louisiana going on related to Oswald, CIA etc. There was an encampment on the north shore where Cuban Nationals were training to invade Cuba at the bay of pigs.

Meh. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. Maybe he was just the patsy.
