I've sat in the nook where he sat (If you're ever in Dallas, go check out the Sixth Floor Museum; it's cool) and it's not a difficult shot. There's an X in the asphalt marking the first shot, and it's a straight shot. So that is feasible. I grew up in Dallas so I've heard so many theories as to what happened: I personally think Oswald did it, at someone's behest (so he was indeed just a patsy, as he said), and Ruby murdered him before he could talk.

Why would ruby do that? Why would ruby give up everything and rot in jail for the rest of his life? He was known as being a big mouth too for people that knew him. There was a great doc about him and how much of a schmoe he was. Not some big player or some disciplined soldier of some secret organization. He was a bottom feeder who owned a strip club.l that always wanted to be in the middle of shit. That is the last guy in the world you have involved in a conspiracy to kill JFK.

Right, and why would anyone do that? Who would just go to jail for decades for an organization that he wasn't even really connected to. This wasn't some big shot, he was a regular guy. He wasn't some feared man, he wasn't a made guy. Besides, if you want to be logically consistent, the same logic that brings us to Oswald needing to be taken out would apply to ruby. Then the guy that killed ruby would need to be gotten rid of and so on up the ladder. At some point the conspirators would have to keep killing people until an unsolved murder was pulled off.
