Jack Ruby Walked Down The Main Street Ramp

[Bill Brown]

James Turner, an employee of WBAP-TV Fort Worth, was standing at the bottom of the ramp on the east side, near the railing.
 He testified that shortly before the shooting of Oswald, he observed a man making his way down the ramp who he (Turner) was confident was Jack Ruby.

Why not cite/quote your source for this claim?

So you're not familiar with the very report which you criticize so heavily.  You're a phony.

Oswald is hushed

Johnson scored [sic]? by Chinese Reds

  It was another lightning fast telepathic investigation by Henry Wade concluded in one evening...
 

District Attorney Henry Wade said he understood that the police were looking into the possibility that Oswald had been slain to prevent him from talking, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Wade said that so far no connection between Oswald and Ruby had been established.

The 52-year-old night-club operator, an ardent admirer of President Kennedy and his family, was described as having been distraught.

And here I thought he was a communist

 

Four plainclothes men, from a detail of about 50 police officers carrying out the transfer, pounced on Ruby as he fired the shot and overpowered him.

Maybe they needed more guys

 

Ruby, who came to Dallas from Chicago 15 years ago, had a police record here listing six allegations of minor offenses. The disposition of five was not noted. A charge of liquor law violation was dismissed. Two of the entries, in July, 1953, and May, 1954, involved carrying concealed weapons.

The city police, working with the Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said last night that they had the case against Oswald "cinched."

When newsmen assembled at the police administrative offices at 10 o'clock, Chief Curry commented: "We could have done this earlier if I hadn't given you fellows that 10 o'clock time."

Chief Curry disclosed this morning that to thwart an attempt against Oswald, the trip was to be made in an armored van of the kind used to transfer money.

"We're not going to take any chances," he said. "Our squad cars are not bullet-proof. If somebody's going to try to do something, they[sic] wouldn't stop him."

probably meant ...that wouldn't stop him 

The plan was to lead Oswald out the doorway in the center of the basement and about 75 feet up the ramp to the back of the armored car.

"He's a respectable citizen who's been here for years and certainly is entitled to bail," the lawyer said. "We'll make any amount of bail."
"He [Ruby] is a great admirer of President Kennedy," the lawyer said, "and police officers."

 

Sheriff Bill Decker commented that the police "did everything humanly possible" to protect Oswald, as he said they had in the case of President Kennedy.

CYA everybody

[Bill Brown]

He cannot cite this adequately; Turner saw Ruby somewhat down the ramp
WC never did confirm Turner saw Ruby walk down that ramp from the street

Turner saw a man, who he believed to be Ruby, walking down the ramp.

...and subsequently the HSCA concluded...
"The evidence available indicates that Jack Ruby did not come down the Main Street ramp when Lieutenant Pierce's car exited"

The HSCA also foolishly concluded that the sound of rifle fire was captured on the dictabelt recording as the motorcade was already en route to Parkland.  So what?

[Jerry Freeman]

Wanted to get this in because it hasn't been shown that much.
Starting at 0:57 watch the lightning fast reaction of Homicide Captain Will Fritz.
Maybe he didn't get any sleep the previous night.
Dittos his buddies next to him-
