    And my certainty that he’s a not fall-guy reaches new heights. No way they would pick someone this hot and expect people to side with the CEO

      Counterpoint: everyone is too focused on his looks to talk about how shooting CEOs is awesome. This allows the media to absorb the enthusiasm by playing into the heartthrob angle, and ignoring supporters by castint them aside as blinded by looks.

      Strange and silly seeming things happen every day but something about “found with the murder weapon and a hand written manifesto admitting guilt on him while eating fast food” has been stuck in my craw this entire time.

        Let me just commit one of the most publicized crimes in decades, and I’ll just keep the evidence here on my person. That’s a normal thing to do. lmfao

          It’s not like he was found on his way to turn himself in, which would be a plausible explanation for the items on him. Wracked with guilt he decided to come clean. But no, really far from the scene of the crime eating some fried potatoes with a murder weapon on him.

            Somehow also went from genius planning and execution of the crime to dumbass who holds onto murder weapon for almost a week and carries around bag of thousands in cash but still eats at McDonald’s.

            Doesn’t make any sense.

              McDonald’s food is chemically programmed to make my brain release the good chemical I can’t fault him tooooooo much on that one.

              The fact that he disputed the cash when he first went down made me immediately think he agreed to be a patsy but the money wasn’t in the deal and they’re fucking him over.

              It’s a good thing I’m not a lawyer

                McDonald’s food is chemically programmed to make my brain release the good chemical I can’t fault him tooooooo much on that one.

                My point is just that it’s entirely backwards. If he was trying to lay low, then it would be better for him to go to a fancy, gourmet restaurant and act normal. He just needs to dress and act the part, which he clearly can with his background, and maybe trim his eyebrows and he’s good. No one is going to be calling the cops on a well-dressed White guy at a steakhouse a state or two over. But sitting around in a hoodie with a mask on at McDonald’s is suspicious as fuck to a TrueCrime-brained American, let’s be honest.

                McDonald’s is the type of place you would expect some killer on the run to go for food, but the murderer seems intelligent enough to know and avoid that. Yet, Luigi was hanging around a McDonald’s looking suspicious, carrying thousands in cash, and the murder weapon? Seems very convenient. UlyssesT is still out there.

                The fact that he disputed the cash when he first went down made me immediately think he agreed to be a patsy but the money wasn’t in the deal and they’re fucking him over.

                How do you mean that?

                As far as I recall he disputed only the bag being a faraday cage and the money because those were aspects of setting bail and extradition to NY, other pieces of evidence weren’t discussed at that specific time.

    Thanks for posting, I’ve never noticed the glasses in Jack Ruby’s jacket pocket before

    Probably the same ones he was wearing when he corrected the TV host about which org ‘fair play for Cuba Committee’ Oswald was a part of when he(Ruby) was in the audience of a TV show broadcast several days before this happened

    Jack Ruby, at the late evening press conference on the day of the assassination, corrected District Attorned Henry Wade about the name of the group in which Oswald claimed membership. Wade told reporters that Oswald was a member of the “Free Cuba Movement,” and Ruby corrected him to say “Fair Play for Cuba Committee.”

    Just how is this supposed to suggest a conspiracy? Author Jim Marrs suggests:

    While Ruby later claimed to have heard of Oswald’s Fair Play for Cuba Committee affiliation over a local radio station that afternoon, it nevertheless struck researchers as most odd that this nightclub owner with no known politics would note the difference between the anti-Castro Free Cuba Committee and the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Of course, this knowledge would not seem at all odd if the accounts of a Ruby-Oswald relationship are true. (Marrs, Jim. Crossfire [p. 399]. Basic Books. Kindle Edition).

    Jim Garrison provides a somewhat different explanation in his Playboy interview: You may remember that on the night of the assassination, Dallas D.A. Henry Wade called a press conference and at one point referred to Oswald as a member of the “Free Cuba Committee” instead of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Jack Ruby, who just happened to be there, promptly chimed in to correct him. Ruby was obviously in the jail that night on a dry run prior to his successful murder of Oswald on Sunday — a possibility the Warren Commission never bothered to consider — and could hardly have been eager to draw attention to himself. However, he must have been afraid that if the press reported Oswald was a member of the “Free Cuba Committee,” somebody might begin an investigation of that group and discover its anti–Castro and ultra–right–wing orientation. And so he risked his cover to set the record straight and protect his fellow conspirators.
