Why Was Oswald Killed?

[Jerry Freeman]

I don't know if it is known when Ruby was given the order to take out Ruby'

Let's try that one again.

Denis, maybe if Ruby had a more sophisticated weapon it might throw suspicion on the whole thing, who knows what they were thinking. Why did Ruby say what he said about taking what information he had to his grave.  That in itself says he knows a lot more than he saying. Ruby had no love for JFK, the mob hated RFK and JFK. Again, Ruby’s club was owned by Dallas mob which was under the thumb of Marcello.
I agree with you there should have been someone else to take out Oswald earlier, like your idea, a corrupt cop. I can’t explain why they didn’t.

[Michael Carney]

Ted, I am not claiming that hundreds of people knew of the plot, only the mob and some that were connected to the mob. Also there is no way that either Oswald or Ruby would expose Marcello, that would mean certain death.  But why someone didn’t take out Oswald in the TSBD, I don’t know. Maybe because at that point in time no one knew Oswald did it or could have known. Maybe they wanted the rifle to get discovered which would point to Oswald but that would take some time. Certainly no one had any evidence of who did it at that until they captured Oswald and that was for Tippit’s killed, not JFK.
What I do know is of all the instances where Marcello and Trafficante admit do doing it and why they did it.

Well, Mike, you certainly won't stand down on this, will you? I can only respect that. We'll just have to agree to differ on this. If you sincerely believe it keep pushing it. Good luck to you.

Mike, you're completely missing the point. Had the Mafia instructed Ruby to assassinate Oswald, as you insist, then they would have furnished him with a more appropriate weapon,

How do you know what the Mafia would do?

WOW!! I'd never realised how much fun it is, dreaming up ingenious imaginary scenarios...I just might convert to CT! LOL

You mean like the giant “ingenious imaginary scenario“ called the Warren Commission Report?

[John Iacoletti]

Always amused me how people believe that this conspiracy involving up to hundreds of people, that went back months and years, allowed the shooter, the man who could expose all of this, to run freely around Dallas for a couple of hours, on buses, in taxis, shooting cops, ducking into shoe stores and into cinemas.

Are you “Richard”’s sock puppet? You have the same strawman “vast conspiracy” that he always makes up!

I mean, if they wanted to kill him, why not in the TSBD. He took a couple of minutes to leave. Why not when he got out of the cab? Or before he got to Tippet.

Who’s Tippet?

Perhaps a theatre full of people and “I am not resisting arrest”?
