I was in the sixth grade when JFK was shot. I decided with my own thinking at the time that it was a conspiracy and nothing has changed my mind since. This is what convinced me. I was looking at Life or Look magazine which had the famous photo of Ruby shooting Oswald. The caption had Oswald’s words which were “Jack, you SOB.” To me that sure sounded not only like someone who knew his killer, but who also it rang to me of betrayal. The motives of Oswald in the plot to kill the President could have been many, considering his suspicious history. But Ruby’s motivation to kill Oswald is where explanations are hard to come by. Ruby was a two-bit low level hoodlum who had little history that would explain his motivations. Bugliosi is a very smart man with a tremendous ego who wants to prove the world wrong and validate his ego. I have often said that we have more facts about the assassination of Julius Caesar than JFK. Caesar was stabbed 23 times. There is great debate about whether the hole in Kennedy’s throat was an entry or an exit wound or simply the incision for the trachea tube which kept him on life support.
What “great debate”?
The back bullet hole had a halo around it which says it was a entrance wound.
If you don’t think a 161 grain bullet traveling 2000 feet a second can’t go through six inches of flesh, take a ham out of the tin and hold it in front of you. Have someone shoot it with a centerfire rifle.
I promise I’ll send flowers.
Just so you know, it was not Oswald who said that, it was one of the Dallas Police dectectives who knew Jack Ruby well who said it.
