No, you've simply ignored every fact I cited.Your conspiracy falls apart in just 4 minutes
Well, yeah, that was the idea! That was his alibi! But why didn't he buy the money order at the Western Union that was just blocks away from his residence in Oak Cliff? Why did he drive all the way into downtown Dallas to buy the money order? Why was he dressed like a reporter or a detective if he was supposedly on his way to his club when it was closed? Why was he carrying a gun? Why didn't he carry his wallet and car keys with him? Why did he lie about how he entered the police basement?After shooting Oswald, Ruby was arrested and a Western Union receipt was found in his pocket.
That receipt was stamped just four minutes before Ruby shot Oswald.
Agents ran to the Western Union office and found the signed transcript of the money transfer, verified the time and the clerk identified Ruby.
Four minutes
FYI, Ruby later admitted, in a filmed interview, that he was manipulated into shooting Oswald. He also admitted, in writing, that his excuse for shooting Oswald was false.
Ruby knew about the delay. Again, why did he lie about how he entered the basement? If his presence in the basement was just an innocent, whopping coincidence, why did he lie about how he got here? Here's a hint: The HSCA determined that he must have had help getting into the basement because he could not have gone down the Main Street ramp. The HSCA also found that a Mob-connected police sergeant removed the guards who were guarding the side entrance that Ruby used to enter the basement shortly before Ruby arrived.So in your world, the mafia plan was for Ruby to not be in the basement at the time Oswald was supposed to be transferred
Because he knew about the delay. That's one reason he lied about how he entered the basement. That's why he was carrying a gun on a Sunday. That's why he was wearing a suit and tie.but show up after the scheduled time,
Umm, yeah, this was part of his lame attempt to make his hit on Oswald appear to be a spontaneous action. Yet, when you examine the facts, his silly alibi collapses. He didn't need to drive all the way into Dallas to get a money order. He had no credible reason to be wearing a suit and tie. He had no innocent reason to be carrying a gun. He had no innocent reason to leave his wallet and car keys in his car with $900 in the trunk.bring his favorite dog and leave it in the car
Which just shows that his alibi was obvious bunk. He was wearing a suit and tie so he would not stand out among all the detectives and journalists and would not risk being challenged about why he was there. He was carrying a gun because he intended to shoot Oswald.and then show up in the basement minutes before Oswald came down
And to repeat: Ruby later admitted, in a filmed interview, that he was manipulated into shooting Oswald. He also admitted, in writing, that his excuse for shooting Oswald was false.
