    Oswald's transfer being delayed created an opportunity for Jack to take action? So he didn't know the transfer was delayed, he finishes at the Western Union office, somehow recognizes that Oswald had not been transfer yet? Then spontaneously decides he will try to get into the basement area that had been described as an "armed camp"? And he just so happens to be able to wondering down the ramp just seconds before Oswald is brought out? And, luckily, he finds himself in a position to be able to step out and shot the accused assassin? Hopefully it is recognized just how absurd that all sounds.

      @@Autshot20 Everything about the assassination and the aftermath was absurd! But in 1963, the world was very different. Dallas was a big, small town that was not used to being in the spotlight. Ruby was a fixture at the police department. He came and went as he pleased. His presence at the Friday night press conference showed his level of access. Jack ended up in the basement on Sunday because the Western Union office was a one-minute walk away. Jack was on speed, always carried a pistol, and was in the basement, and there was Oswald.

      @@vernpascal1531 Ruby had no "massive mob connections" as you so fervidly imagine. The Warren Commission summarized it's conclusion by saying that its "investigation disclosed no one in either Chicago or Dallas who had any knowledge that Ruby was associated with organized crime or its activity." The HSCA reached the same conclusion about Ruby not being associated with organized crime "in Dallas or elsewhere." They did an extensive computer analysis of Ruby’s five home and business telephone numbers for 1963. They checked each number Ruby telephoned, as well as the records of every person he called, and concluded that most of the increases in his long-distance bill were due solely to his AGVA (American Guild of Variety Artists) problems. A stamped receipt proves Ruby was at a Western Union office only 4 minutes before shooting Oswald, whose transfer had been unpredictably delayed. And Jack went and left his beloved dog “Sheba” in his car. Does all this sound like somebody sent to kill Oswald? And we know how Ruby got into the basement, because he told us so: "As I walked toward the ramp, I noticed the police squad car at the head of the ramp and an officer leaning over talking to him with his back to me. All I did was walk down there, down to the bottom of the ramp..."

      That's a fair point. The video might not show definitive proof, but Ruby's connections to organized crime are undoubtedly attractive. However, it's important to remember that association doesn't necessarily equal involvement in a conspiracy. The Warren Commission and even the House Select Committee on Assassinations (though critical of the investigation) found no concrete evidence of mob involvement in JFK's assassination.
      Still, the possibility is intriguing, and further investigation is always worthwhile. There may be more to the story yet to be uncovered.

      The Dallas Police Department received hundreds of death threats on Oswald. That is one reason the armored car was brought in but was too big to go down into the basement. In 1963, Dallas was a big, small town, not used to this type of attention and media pressure. Even though the police department conducted a full security sweep before the transfer, the entire building was filled with people from TV, radio, photographers, journalists, and law enforcement from the FBI, Secret Service, Postal Service, Texas Rangers, and the DPD. Ruby waited until the officer on the ramp turned around, and he walked in.
