Sparta, you have the essentials right, but no, it is not ridiculous. It is
what happened. We never see the Shooter's face in the garage. And the cops
were in on it, so they certainly were never going to say anything. And the
reporters were carefully selected because they were team players, totally
supportive of whatever the government said.
So, to repeat the good parts of what you said, James Bookhout, dressed
like Jack Ruby, did lean out from the line of cops and reporters in the
City Hall basement and shoot Oswald. I should add, however, that it was
just a blank and that Oswald was shot for real afterwards. So, it was all
a ruse. It was a made-for-television spectacle. Then, Bookhout was mobbed
by police, who under normal circumstances would certainly have handcuffed
him in the garage. But, they didn't. Instead, they herded him out of the
garage and into the jail office like a herd of penguins. It's the one and
only time in police history that such a thing was done. And once inside
they swifted him away but not before taking a picture of him with
Detectives Boyd, Sims, and Hall, which we have, and it is definitely not
Jack Ruby.
That is NOT Jack Ruby. That image is consistent with the yearbook images
we have of James Bookhout.
And then, once released, he went down to the jail office and followed
Oswald's stretcher out, as he said he did. And he looks nervous there too.
But, the other cops were certainly not going to rat him out. They were all
on it. He'd changed his clothes, even his hat, which he wore low. And in
that circumstance, in that milieu, who was going to think he was the
Garage Shooter? THEIR MINDS WOULDN'T EVEN GO THERE. Not for one second
were they even going to contemplate it. The whole thing was deliberately
done and photographed and filmed in such a way that Bookhout would not be
recognized; not immediately; not later; and not ever. They were wrong
about the latter, but they wren't wrong in thinking that most people (like
you) would never consider it, not in a million years, because it is
outside the limits of their cognition. And guess what, Sparta? Good news.
I'm making you famous.
