Jack Ruby

He never got to tell his side of the story, because on November 24th, 1963...

Two days after Kennedy's assassination and his arrest, Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby during a routine prisoner transfer.

The assassination happened on live television and is the first assassination in U.S. history to be shown on TV live.

as it happened.

His death opened up a whole new slew of questions.

Who was Jack Ruby? Why did he kill Oswald? Were either or both of them pawns in a bigger game? I don't even have the time to get into Jack Ruby now, but fear not, he will be covered later on this month when I get to the movie Ruby from 1992.

On November 29th, 1963.

Displeased with the police handling of the case, President Lyndon B. Johnson, by an executive order, appointed the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, so dubbed the Warren Commission.

In fact, they called him the King of Torts.

He defended Jack Ruby when he was, yes, when he was tried for murder of Lee Harvey Oswald.

He was part of history in that sense, Dana.

That's amazing, Dan.

But it's like people trying to be like, let me tell you something, kids.

Don't you love the fact that Jack Ruby got into the garage that day? I haven't seen choreography that stiff since the Lee Harvey Oswald prison transfer.

But by the way, that would make that person funny.

Because the lines are really funny.

Chairman.

A follow-up question on the meeting with Jack Ruby.

Did Mr. Ruby mention two or three Jewish individuals in connection with wanting the letter of introduction? No.

Did he mention a Mr. Goldberg or a Mr. Zaroff? Okay, guys in the research chat, let's see what we can fucking find on a Mr.

There would be no other reason.

Did you contact anyone and try to follow up with this deal? No.

Was it your impression that the meeting with Jack Ruby was before or after your meeting with Castro? I think it was after.

Was it your impression that he had seen the publicity about your meeting with Castro? That's the reason.

Source stated that Long identified the three men as being Clay Shaw, himself, and David Ferry, all in the same picture.

Source stated another photograph was a picture of Long and two persons who Long identified as being Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Source stated a third photograph was a picture of Long and two persons identified by Long as being Clay Shaw and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Source stated that Long keeps the pictures in a cardboard beer box in the living room, as one does with important shit.

Source stated that he knew Jack Ruby and was able to identify him, but he was not sure on the identification of Clay Shaw, David Ferry, and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Source stated the pictures are black and white and poor quality.

Source stated Long told him that the FBI had harassed him on numerous occasions when he was in New Orleans, and at one time they had taken several photographs away from him.

And to do that, they created this document called the Warren Report, right? And in that, it concluded that President Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and that Oswald acted entirely alone.

And then it's saying Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald, acted alone as well.

But I think the basis is that, because maybe we're getting at, it's like the basis of conspiracy theories is the idea that our government's lying to us, that one of our presidents was not killed alone, that perhaps this was multiple people, and then the implications can start going down from there, right? Like, well, if it was multiple people, then who was their leader? And if they have a leader, how close were they to the leader, you know? And that's how you get conspiracy theories.

This is the literal inception of them.
