But then a man like Jack Ruby killing Oswald under such circumstances doesn't make any sense: Who Was Jack Ruby? https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/who

  Weird dudes tend to have weird lives. And if someone is going to kill them we are by default talking about other weird people. Any such event is going to involve more of the same people.

    Weird dudes probably have utterly mundane lives in equal if not greater numbers.

  The Texas Monthly article you've cited makes a pretty strong case that (1) everyone in Dallas wanted to kill Oswald and (2) Ruby's involvement in a conspiracy theory is what really doesn't make sense.

    And yet Ruby "died" in jail while he wanted to testify away from Dallas. The series of inception-like coincidences you have to pull to explain this brings the credibility of a man acting alone to zero. And Oswald was far from your regular crazy loner. He was intelligence (OSI) and probably counter-intelligence as well, from all that we know about him being able to travel back and forth to Russia in the iron curtain era.
