JFK Assassination (November 1963): Why did Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald? - Quora
Shortly before the Dallas police tried to transfer Lee Harvey Oswald to the sheriff's jail in the police station basement, Jack Ruby was purchasing a money order at a Western Union office across the street from the police station in order to help one of the strippers at his nightclub with making her rent money. According to Western Union records, Ruby's receipt was time stamped at 11:17 AM. Ruby then walks across the street to the police station while the police are transferring Oswald. Impulsively, Ruby shoots Oswald at 11:21 AM, just four minutes after leaving the Western Union office. Coincidentally, Lee Harvey Oswald delayed his own transfer by insisting on changing into a black sweater before going into the basement. If Ruby had either finished his transaction at the Western Union office either a few minutes earlier or a few minutes later, Oswald and Ruby would never have crossed paths for the shooting to happen. Similarly, if Oswald hadn't decided to put on a black sweater and delay his own transfer, Oswald and Ruby wouldn't have crossed paths either. If there had been a conspiracy to kill Oswald, Oswald would have had to have been in on the conspiracy himself, because he was the one responsible for the delays in his transfer to the jail in the police station basement.
They didn't cross paths!!! Ruby waited for him as the police escorted him out of the station. He stalked him. He wasn't randomly there! He was up close and personal! And they even jammed for a bit before he shot him! Ruby played a mean guitar. Here's the pic. They may have allowed Ruby so close in order to kill him (or somebody who was there to do the job), but he didn't happen to randomly walk there after Western Union and say "Wow! There's LHO! Kill him!" Geez... I may agree with you LA RAM FAN, but I find it hard to believe he's paid (after all this time) and not misinformed...
