re: Why did Ruby kill Oswald?

It looks odd and staged when Oswand is being marched through, but there is no way on Earth he was being walked out to be shot by Jack Ruby. He is surrounded by cops that could have easily caught a through shot or a bone deflection. It is inconceivable that cops marched him out like that knowing he was going to be shot.

As far as the assassination, anyone that knows anything about hunting or shooting that has been to the School Book Depository and stood at the window that is one or two windows down from the actual window (actual window is inside a plexiglass area) can see that LHO passed up an easy shot that was available to him forever to take a pretty difficult shot after he turned the corner and went down the hill towards the underpass.

The few hours I spent there convinced me the only reason to not take the easy shot was because there was a kill box set up. A six year old could have shot Kennedy when he was coming right towards the Depository. The window looks right down the street and Kennedy was coming towards him in a straight line. It's perfect. He supposedly waited and shot him over a tree when he was moving side to side, away from him and slightly downhill?

bullshite.

The biggest mystery is how did 8th grade dropout Oswald, who joined the Marines at 17, who at no time anywhere in his military record was sent to langauge school, show up in Russia, at age 19, speaking Russian (per official documents of both governments), offer military secrets in return for admission into the county, have that fact relayed to the US government - to whom he attempted to relinquish his citizenship, then proceed to live, work, and marry there, and still manage to get the US State Department to pay his way home and then never face charges for abondoning his post as a Marine and offering up secrets to the enemy?

Several mysteries at once, really:
1. How does this teenaged "dumb hick" know Russian?
2. Why did the state department repatriotize a known traitor?
3. Why didn't he face charges for up and leaving the Marines and telling the State Department he was going to give radar secrets to Russia?

It's not that far at all in person, I've been there.

He did this because everyone the motorcade had already passed would be looking down the street and directly into his window during the time that Kennedy was moving down that street. He didn't want to be seen. After it makes the turn, the attetion is away from him and he can make the easy shot. The tree was much smaller then.

Back and to the left:



If anyone thinks the mob or Castro would have enlisted the fragile eggs that were Oswald and Ruby to possibly pull off this shooting and then cover it up, they are out of their mind.

The mob didn't/doesn't use amateurs on something which could possibly get back to them and threaten their very existence.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct answer. Who killed the Kennedys? It was you and me.

When standing in the window next to the plexiglass which is as close as you can get, did you not wonder why LHO didn't shoot him on the approach?

Ruby killing Oswald was a crime of opportunity. He thought he could be a national hero and spare Jackie the trauma of a trial.

Oswald was supposed to be transferred earlier in the morning, like 9 or 10AM IIRC. Ruby was in downtown Dallas sending a money order telegram. He sent it at 11:17 AM, walked the short distance to the police headquarters where just minutes later at 11:21, he shot Oswald. He very easily could have been too late to shoot Oswald.

Sure he may have been thinking about wanting to shoot Oswald prior, (i.e. pre-meditated), but there was no master plan. He happened to be there at just the right time and he took his chance, and single-handedly created much more opportunity for conspiracy theories.

Oswald acted alone.

I read this entire thread and there is still no definitive answer to who killed JFK and why. I am disappointed in the OT.

That makes no sense. None at all. The street incoming toward the Depository wouldn't have lended itself to him being seen on the route at all. The opposite is true. All of the people on the incoming street would have been looking towards the direction of the Depository once the the car turned the corner when the shot was taken.

Your arguments are odd.
