News > Why Did Ruby Shoot Oswald?

The JFK stuff I've posted lately has been due to this thread on The High Road. It just sparked this interesting question (bold) and reply.

Isn't the real question "Why did Ruby shoot Oswald"?

After 9-11-01, some guy in Phoenix shot an East Indian gas station owner because he thought the guy was Arab. It was a target of opportunity for one very pi$$ed off dude. Ruby just happened to have an incredible opportunity, and he took it.

Ruby was known to carry a gun, was known at the Dallas PD, so easily entered the garage, and just happened to show up late, and the transfer of Oswald happened late. The transfer was supposed to happen at 11:00, but was delayed - and Ruby arrived at about 11:25 - TOO LATE if the transfer had happened on time. Add the Dallas detectives who "stalled" to the list of conspirators?

Either that, or the East Indian gas station owner was directly involved in al queda's plot, and to keep him quiet, this alledged super patriot, who actually worked for Bin Laden was used to silence him. Right. Who here WOULDN'T take a shot at Bin Laden if we had the opportunity? Again, Ruby just happened to have an incredible opportunity, and he took it.

I think there's something to that, and the 9/11 analogy is apt. Police had Oswald in custody and made it clear Oswald was the one who killed Kennedy. It's not hard to imagine someone killing Oswald under those circumstances.
