(21,786 posts)Ruby didn't know Oswald was being moved then. There's no reason to doubt that; Oswald had been scheduled to be transferred earlier. This argument of conspiracy doesn't hold up. At all. So: Ruby goes to the Western Union office, comes out, sees a crowd at the police station, goes through the open garage door...a security breach, but then look at what had just happened; security was generally much laxer in 1963. Applying modern ideas of standard procedure doesn't really work. There's too much coincidence involved for there to have possibly been a conspiracy. If there had been, Ruby wouldn't have turned up at the last minute, as he did. And you seem to be ignoring: Ruby knew and was friendly with many of the Dallas cops. If he showed up? One of them probably thought, oh, it's Jack, he's kind of a kook but he's harmless, and let him in.
