Yet Oswald was left to his own devices in his escape, trying to catch a bus, abandoning it for a taxi cab, with $13.87 in his pocket.
And then when Oswald was captured, how could any conspiracy allow him to be interrogated for twelve hours over a three-day period? Especially when Jack Ruby had a shot Friday evening, the same day as the assassination. He was armed, and Oswald was walked within three feet of him. But does Ruby shoot him? No, allowing Oswald to be interrogated for two more days. How could Ruby know he would ever get another chance to silence Oswald?
So maybe this same conspiracy hadn't hired Ruby yet to take the shot? Can anyone honestly believe that? No, of course not. Any conspiracy so incredibly competent to erase all evidence of its existence would have hired the guy to silence Oswald well in advance. But the fact that Ruby didn't take the shot on Friday is persuasive evidence that Ruby shot Oswald for his own purposed on Sunday. Which means no one was trying to silence Oswald. Which means he acted alone.
