You're right Larry! Jack Ruby didn't kill LHO because he was such a patriot. He killed Oswald to keep him from talking!!!

Artur, you are probably one of the most dim-witted, fucktard, I have ever seen in my life. You are so naive.

Take a look around. And don't use wikipedia you dumbshit. Lots of security measures were mysteriously "not in place". Please research before you make these fucking statements that shows everyone how much you are fucking retarded.

There were a lot of mysterious things that happened on Dallas, Texas...On Nov 22, 1963.
