A short post for the conspiracy naysayers.

107. I've wondered that too

If Ruby had been assigned, by plotters using Oswald as a patsy, the task of shooting Oswald to silence him, why on earth wouldn't he have been positioned, say, right outside the door of the 6th floor storeroom as Oswald ran to escape, to shoot him with no witnesses and with practically guaranteed access to him? How could the entire plan to silence Oswald been based on anybody's ability to get close enough to him during a prison transfer, days later, by which time he might have decided to talk about the plot anyway?

The idea of people smart enough to cover their tracks for 50 years deliberately deciding to leave Oswald to roam around Oak Cliff, or anywhere else in Dallas, after carrying out this big involved plot with multiple components just seems extremely unlikely to me.
