- Jack Ruby: The Man Who Shot Lee Harvey Oswald
The world was still reeling from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy when Jack Ruby, a small-time nightclub owner, shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin. This video dives into the life of Jack Ruby: his motives, his past, and the lasting impact of his actions.
Was he a lone wolf seeking notoriety, or was there more to the story? We'll explore the theories, investigate Ruby's troubled past, and examine the question that continues to haunt historians: Was justice served, or did another act of violence further cloud the truth of JFK's assassination?

Correction: Gerald Ford was a Congressman, Not a Senator.
Thank you for the correction.
Oswald's transfer being delayed created an opportunity for Jack to take action? So he didn't know the transfer was delayed, he finishes at the Western Union office, somehow recognizes that Oswald had not been transfer yet? Then spontaneously decides he will try to get into the basement area that had been described as an "armed camp"? And he just so happens to be able to wondering down the ramp just seconds before Oswald is brought out? And, luckily, he finds himself in a position to be able to step out and shot the accused assassin? Hopefully it is recognized just how absurd that all sounds.
@@Autshot20 Everything about the assassination and the aftermath was absurd! But in 1963, the world was very different. Dallas was a big, small town that was not used to being in the spotlight. Ruby was a fixture at the police department. He came and went as he pleased. His presence at the Friday night press conference showed his level of access. Jack ended up in the basement on Sunday because the Western Union office was a one-minute walk away. Jack was on speed, always carried a pistol, and was in the basement, and there was Oswald.
It sounds crazy to people who don't take the time to research the actual circumstances of the event. Those that do, understand that it was simply a matter of right place right time.
There's a name for it it's called happenstance. No.armed fort at the main street entrance where Ruby entered just one guard. Ruby said he slipped in behind Vaughn when he stepped out to let Rio Pierce going out the wrong way on the ramp. Again you supply disinformation.
@@dallaslivetonight😅
Had Ruby not been tipped off he would have thought the transfer had already taken place and not gone to the police station.
Not a lot of research here. Why don't they mention that Ruby was gay. Or Ruby in New Orleans? Or the many documented phone conversations with known mobsters in the weeks leading up to the assassination. These are just basic facts.
Thanks for pointing that out! You're right, there's definitely more to Ruby's story than what this video covers. His sexuality, time in New Orleans, and alleged mob connections are all interesting aspects that could be explored further. Do you have any resources you'd recommend for learning more?
@@dallaslivetonight Seth Kantor was a Dallas Reporter who wrote a very good book called The Ruby Cover Up. Shows Ruby's massive mob connections, and relationships with local DPD, along with how he got in the Basement completely covered up by WC.
@@dallaslivetonight Ruby's "mob connections" were indeed "explored further," by for example, the WC, who said its "investigation disclosed no one in either Chicago or Dallas who had any knowledge that Ruby was associated with organized crime or its activity." And the HSCA, which could not find (prove) any mob involvement in JFKA, making the issue of whether Ruby had mob "ties" a moot point.
@@vernpascal1531 Ruby had no "massive mob connections" as you so fervidly imagine. The Warren Commission summarized it's conclusion by saying that its "investigation disclosed no one in either Chicago or Dallas who had any knowledge that Ruby was associated with organized crime or its activity." The HSCA reached the same conclusion about Ruby not being associated with organized crime "in Dallas or elsewhere." They did an extensive computer analysis of Ruby’s five home and business telephone numbers for 1963. They checked each number Ruby telephoned, as well as the records of every person he called, and concluded that most of the increases in his long-distance bill were due solely to his AGVA (American Guild of Variety Artists) problems. A stamped receipt proves Ruby was at a Western Union office only 4 minutes before shooting Oswald, whose transfer had been unpredictably delayed. And Jack went and left his beloved dog “Sheba” in his car. Does all this sound like somebody sent to kill Oswald? And we know how Ruby got into the basement, because he told us so: "As I walked toward the ramp, I noticed the police squad car at the head of the ramp and an officer leaning over talking to him with his back to me. All I did was walk down there, down to the bottom of the ramp..."
@@stddisclaimer8020 The HSCA said Ruby did not come down the ramp. It was also a garbage Investigation because they endorsed The Magic Bullet Theory which has been debunked a 100 ways to Wednesday. And the GK shooter missed. Which is absurd. As anyone that's not legally blind can see. JFK is thrown back and to his left. An impossibility from 60 feet up and to the rear.
Nope Ruby said his lawyer told him to say that about saving Jackie from a trial. Lol 😅
Thanks for your comment! You had a very experienced criminal lawyer and Melvin Belli, a personal injury attorney, at trial. The trial was a media circus that blew up on appeal.
@@dallaslivetonight Thanks for the information
strange and no one noticed that the inspector to whom Oswald was handcuffed was the only person wearing a very light suit among the majority of dark suits in this police station
As if we had wanted Oswald not to lose his life in the crowd of police officers and journalists, the sight of the light suit indicated precisely at all times where Oswald was.
It was then easy for Ruby to target him and rush at him...
Ah yes, the old lame light suit theory!
What about the hat?
@@leslieplayfair9836 Ah yes, the old lame white hat theory!
Finally, a video that comes anywhere close to explaining the real circumstances in Jack Ruby's actions on that fateful weekend. No conspiracy mumbo jumbo, no secret government plot, just bare facts surrounding those events. Thank You.
Thank you for your comment!
If only more people would actually take the time to learn more about Jack Ruby the man instead of Jack Ruby the myth! If people understood that Ruby was just guy with emotional issues and violent outbursts, it would help future generations realize he wasn't part of any kind of plot.
@@franclin0 When you read Ruby’s history, you begin to understand him and the context of his world, and the same holds true of Oswald. The mythological characters of the assassination are just that, made up to suit the conspiracy theories! Thanks for your comment!
@@dallaslivetonight wholeheartedly agree!
Wasn't Ruby involved in some way with helping Trafficante get out of Cuba?
I like the idea you have about ruby being loose liped,however,when the warren commission showed up to question him,he said nothing.Great theory.
@@markpaul-ym5wg Jack wanted to be taken to Washington DC. Ford and Warren had no authority to do that because Jack was charged in Texas for murder. When Jack realized that he would not go to Washington, he refused to say anything else.
@@dallaslivetonight Oh,they had the authority.President Johnson couldn't cover his butt if something happened to him,so they kept him in Dallas.Ruby was ordered by the mob to make the hit.The police didn't even flinch when the gun went off,telling us that the police knew he would be shot.Why would you let the press and everyone else know 4 hours ahead of time he was being transported.That gave the police time to set up the murder.Oswall never shot anyone.I know the 2 main guys who set it all up.Their names are in plain sight,you just have to put the puzzle together.I will give you a hint.Oil tycoon+ major general= 350 million dollars that is unretrievable!
No they did not have the authority. This was a state matter and in 1963 there were no Federal statues to supersede State law. That would all come later. The police do react, just view the film and the shock and surprise on their faces. The Mob connection was disproven years ago.
Ruby was always hooked up with the Mob. You are lying.
@@Jasona1976 In many separate investigations, Ruby knew people involved in the mob but had no known affiliations. On the Friday night after the assassination, Jack had dinner with Joe Campasi at his restaurant. They were friends. People assumed Joe was in the mob, but it was guilt by association, just like Jack. This biography about Jack is based on facts, not rumor or speculation.
@@dallaslivetonight nonsense.
@@dallaslivetonightThe business he was in warranted mob association in every major city in the country. They operated the strip club business. Now to what extent was his connection is where the mystery began. He could have been be so insignificant to the mob that his only connection was paying them on time.
Didn't Kefauver conclude that Ruby was very much involved with the mob, especially as a link between the Chicago and New Orleans outfits.
CIA approves this video
That is the winning reply
Perfect guy to be used in a plot
This video has a rather naive character.
No proof of mob interactions, but proof of mob associations.
To quote semi-famous Georgio Tsoukalos: "Coincidence? I think not!"
That's a fair point. The video might not show definitive proof, but Ruby's connections to organized crime are undoubtedly attractive. However, it's important to remember that association doesn't necessarily equal involvement in a conspiracy. The Warren Commission and even the House Select Committee on Assassinations (though critical of the investigation) found no concrete evidence of mob involvement in JFK's assassination.
Still, the possibility is intriguing, and further investigation is always worthwhile. There may be more to the story yet to be uncovered.
@@dallaslivetonight Its not like Jack Ruby knew more about LHO than the Dallas Police on the evening of LHO arrest... .. oh wait.
And brushing off the gun running to Cuba is awfully cavalier.
This piece was a biography, not an editorial or a promoter of any theory. Everything in it can be proven. Do youself a favor and read John Adam's book, "JFK Assassination Logic " and Thomas Mallon's "Mrs. Paine's Garage". Neither can be found at at Comic book store .
Ah, here it comes, the ascerbic jonblachley
comment, from the self-appointed, self-ordained, semi-great predictor hisself. He who is the decider of what is truth, and what belongs in a comic book store. Thank you. Thank you very much.
The Warren Commission Report was published by the U.S. Government. That's a fact. It SHOULD'VE BEEN sold in comic book stores, except that was the story we were asked to accept. It would seem, one man's comic book is another man's bible of truth...
I think you should read the Jack Ruby Trial Transcripts… then go from there
Uding the term "conspiracy theorists" while talking about the Kenndy assassination seems strange.
Solution: Curtain Rods. "Let's go get those curtain rods, Lee Harvey and Wesley Frazier. You did say those were curtain rods, Lee Harvey Oswald, in that long paper bag, which you brought to work in Wesley's car?"
Wasn't a long paper bag.
Some new facts learned and some same lies told here. But do yourself a favor and look at Ruby's cancer injections online - he was fried suffered inhumane treatment at the hospital. Who sanctioned that?
Of all things that is what you pick as your jack ruby conspiracy?? You should look up the man he rented a house from, his name was John Norman, john Norman was one of the most prolific paedophiles in history with connections to Dean corll and John Wayne gacy and Jack ruby rented a house from him, ruby was known to have claimed to be able to get anything you could want from drugs to guns to young boys, look it up the cancer crap is the tip of the jack ruby iceberg
Pease elaborate on your sources and the content of what you describe as inhumane cancer treatment. While you are at it , look up lung cancer treatment methods in 1964 .
This is the last installment in our Ghosts of Dallas series that involves the JFK assassination. In 1963, there is no record of John Norman being in Dallas. He will be in Dallas in the 1970s, when he started his “foundation.”
@@jonblachley1911 What is more likely? 1) That shadowy sinister conspiratorial forces slipped past security into Jack's cell to "administer" a time-released cancer to a man they sought to silence, but ONLY after allowing him three years to speak freely or 2) Ruby, a long-time heavy smoker, with respiratory complaints long before he shot Oswald succumbed at length to lung cancer? Choose wisely.
@@stddisclaimer8020 Jolly West of the CIA visited him.
Nobody ever talks about the fact that the Texas Theater where Oswald was arrested, is right across the street from the Top Ten Records store where Officer J.D Tippit made his last phone call.
Address Texas Theatre: 231 West Jefferson Boulevard, Dallas
Address Top Ten Records: 338 West Jefferson Boulevard, Dallas
If that is true, I would say that is rather significant.
@@samsantucci1044 Address Texas Theatre: 231 West Jefferson Boulevard, Dallas
Address Top Ten Records: 338 West Jefferson Boulevard, Dallas
Are you familiar with this area? This is a small retail area mostly with mom and pop shops in 1963. The record store was a community fixture in 1963 so Tippit making a call from there was significant in what way? Calling his deep state handlers?
@@dallaslivetonight
In most homicide investigations it is a routine procedure to establish the activities of the victim in the last several hours of his life.
Tippit’s movements are consistent with the actions of a man frantically looking for someone.
Let us look at Tippit’s movements:
Sitting at the Gloco station watching the cars come over the Houston Street Viaduct.
Leaves the Gloco station and “tears” down Lancaster Road at a fast rate of speed.
Makes a hurried phone call at the Top Ten Record Shop, and does not get an answer.
Stops James A. Andrews car not by using his siren or police lights but by cutting in front of him, does not say a word but looks between the front and back seats, and then leaves the scene without saying a word.
@@lennon1252 The DPD had sent an all points bulletin to all patrol units giving a description of Oswald. The President had been shot. It was panic everywhere in the city. Officer Tippit sees Oswald walking down the street. He talks to him through the window and then stops his patrol car and gets out. Oswald shoots him in the head, the heart, and stomach. The eyewitnesses watch Oswald empty the spent shells and reload.
You state simply that Oswald killed Tippit, this has not been proven, in fact is unlikely as witnesses put him in the theatre at the time Tippit was shot.
Many eyewitnesses saw Oswald shoot Tippit and then reload his pistol as he made his way to the theater. The manager of the shoe store, who saw Oswald, followed him and watched him as he slipped into the theater without paying. The police arrived, and Oswald attempted to shoot the officer who approached him. The officer got his hand on the pistol, and the hammer hit his hand, preventing the gun from firing.
@@dallaslivetonight MacDonald said he grabbed at the pistol which was in Oswald's waist belt, got his skin in to stop the firing pin, ie not really Oswald making the first move. But Oswald was already in the theatre just after 1:00 pm, bought popcorn, was there for the start of the feature which was about the time Tippit was shot, Oswald could not therefore have shot Tippit. The one who came in without paying was arrested on the balcony and taken out the back way, then released.
This Piece Hivs ALOT OF EXCUSES For this Criminal Murderer.
VERY CONVENIENT
Been next to that car several times,that Kennedy was shot in
HE SHUT DOWN THE TRUTH..MAKING A BUNCH OF UNPROVEN ALLEGATIONS VOID OF A N Y COURT OF LAW E V E R.
This guy has a bloody scary voice....
Or jack La Rue. Or jack Ruby. Or Jacob Rubinstein.
Where did he make enough money to open a night club if he grew up poor joined the army and went to Dallas working for his sister
Ruby sold his portion of the family business to his brother to get the seed money for Dallas. By the early 50s the novelty business was making money. Ruby also did side hustles that were probably illegal but kept some cash coming in.
This guy has no idea what he’s talking about
Jack RUBENSTEIN
I wonder if folks from the United States get jobs in the UK narrating crime documentaries..just asking no offense.If anyone has a job opening over there let me know, I listen to a lot of audiobooks also 😬
could be an AI voice...
Ewa Rukowski?
Najatý vrah ktorý bol ťažko chorý mal UMLČAŤ OSWALDA!
I was 11 years old at the time and Ruby didn't do nuthin I wouldn't have done along with a great many of Americans..
The Dallas Police Department received hundreds of death threats on Oswald. That is one reason the armored car was brought in but was too big to go down into the basement. In 1963, Dallas was a big, small town, not used to this type of attention and media pressure. Even though the police department conducted a full security sweep before the transfer, the entire building was filled with people from TV, radio, photographers, journalists, and law enforcement from the FBI, Secret Service, Postal Service, Texas Rangers, and the DPD. Ruby waited until the officer on the ramp turned around, and he walked in.
@@dallaslivetonightIronic that they did a much better job in Washington protecting Lincoln's assassins in 1865 than Oswald in 1963.
A great many Americans would have liked to hear what Oswald had to say.
