Jack Ruby

Some persons are accusing me falsely...

About Me

I am formally known as Jack Rubenstein and I am the fifth out of eight children, but I am not exactly sure when my birthday is. For some reason there is much confusion on my actual birth date. School records report it as June 23, April 25,1 March 13, and, possibly, March 3, 1911.2 Other early official records list his date of birth as April 21 and April 26. AWESOME.

My Interests

I have been arrested 8 times

Music:

In 1952 I purchased the Ranch House, which was my first of my series of nightclubs, however it did not go well and that same year I gave it away to Gimpel and Willie Epstein. I hid away for a few months in which I had a mental breakdown. After I returned to Chicago I decided to once again become owne of the Silver Spur. After much debate, in 1953 I was sold the Vegas Club. This chain continued and I became owner or part-owner of many nightclubs across the US. This helped because I became close friends with all my employees, visitors, and guests...

Movies:

Although I had a reputation for my nightclub industries, I am better known as the man who killed Lee Harvey Oswald. Many people believe that I was working for the mafia when I killed him. This is because I was friendly with many of the men because they came into my nightclubs. Some people say that I was a "mafia-wannabe" and that I would do anything to be a part of their social status, especially because it brought fame, fear, and money....

Television:

When I was interrogated by the Warren Commission, I answered in the best way possible saying, "You Dummies!--can't you see that I can't tell it here? You people don't run this town. You can't protect me in Dallas. I'll get knifed in my cell, and the guards will be looking the other way." (http://members.aol.com/guptaneel1/AmStud/JackRuby.htm)I admit that I was afraid to answer to the questions where I was because the mafia threatened to kill me...

Books:

"I felt very emotional and very carried away for Mrs. Kennedy, that with all the strife she had gone through…that someone owed it to our beloved President that she shouldn't be expected to come back to face trial of this heinous crime." (http://members.aol.com/guptaneel1/AmStud/JackRuby.htm)

Heroes:

People say that I was a Kennedy hater because I actively campaigned against his election. Questions like, "Why the change of face?" "Why did Ruby kill Oswald?" are often asked. Some believe that the mafia paid me to do it..but hey its all a part of the conspiracy that one will never know :-)
