why he shot oswald


His sister Eva who was schizophrenic had to be institutionalized on Nov 23/63 because she was distraught over JFK's assassination. Ruby was lashing out. No conspiracy.

All that inbreeding they do.

Really? I'm not into the conspiracy theories.

24 hours? Less? JFK shot, Eva has to go to hospital, Ruby gets his gun to go to courthouse?

Sounds silly.

reply

ruby had almost 48 hours to stew over the assassination. his gun was always with him even when entering a police station.

TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE...AND TRUE.

Is everything de-classified now? I thought that was supposed to happen like 20 years ago.

I used to listen to Thom Hartmann's radio show (left wing politics.) He was really into JFK assassination and IIRC he was writing his own book. A couple of times he would remark that he would try to pursue some avenue of investigation and he would be confronted by seemingly nefarious officials, and they would warn him that he was trying to go places where no one would want to go, people you don't want to mess with, etc., spooky and dangerous... Made me question whether this dude had all his marbles...

I guess he did write the book... wow 2009... time flies...

Like I said, I'm really not into this, but for those who are, this is from one of the reviews for the Hartmann book on Amazon

"If you want a more rounded overview go to Anthony Summers for the pro conspiracy view and Gerald Postner or Mel Ayton for the Oswald did it view. By the way for all those buffs out there few books seems to mention that the so called magic bullet that hit Governor Conally was tumbling when it hit him in the back. It had therefore hit something else before."

Sure, sure. I got some real estate in Florida I'd like to sell you...🙄
