Jack Ruby
”My great-grandpa was next-door neighbors with Jack Ruby, the guy who killed the guy who killed JFK. After Oswald was killed, my great-grandpa was the only one keeping the media firestorm from breaking into Ruby’s apartment. Also, my great-grandpa saw a man practicing his shot at a shooting range a week earlier. He later realized it was Oswald using the same gun that would take the president’s life.”
The story of Jack Ruby is one that has captured the imagination of the public for decades. Ruby was the man who shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy. But what’s surprising is that Ruby himself had a colorful and somewhat shady past. He was a nightclub owner with ties to organized crime and had a reputation for being quick-tempered and unpredictable. Some even speculate that Ruby was involved in a larger conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy and that his shooting of Oswald was part of a cover-up.
