TODAY’S FROZEN MOMENT - 60th Anniversary - November 24th, 1963 -
This indelible moment, when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald was captured for eternity by Dallas Times Herald photographer Robert Jackson. He would win the Pulitzer Prize for it. Obviously, this moment was also seen live on television by millions of people, but there is something so much more powerful about a photograph to seal a moment in time. As for history, Dallas Police officer James Leavelle, the man in the light-colored suit and Stetson, whose wrist was handcuffed to Oswald’s for this walk, had also survived Pearl Harbor twenty-two years prior while serving on the USS Whitney stationed there. Two days of infamy, two seminal American history moments, and this Texan survived them both, up close and personally. Leavelle’s suit and hat are now in a museum in Dallas. This moment was one which sparked the myriad conspiracy theories that surround the murder of JFK. Jack Ruby was a shady but wily character who seemed unlikely to have been willing to murder somebody in front of millions of eye witnesses simply because he was angry about the assassination. It sill amazes me that so many people have since gone to their graves with the complete truth about all of these events of those days in Dallas. An entire industry of speculative books and films have sprung from these moments, and mostly due to the mystery left unclear. American history is sadly rife with moments of injustice that become gotten away with. This is likely our most infamous instance. The deeper mysteries are the whys of allowing these injustices to stay unresolved and unpunished.

I know the meme is dead, but I think the four successful assassins should experience it.

Edit: I have to put a disclaimer on here because a few people aren’t getting that this is a joke. If you’ve ever heard of the Thomas Jefferson Miku binder then you should know what I’m talking about here. If you don’t, then look it up. This is basically satire of a Hamilton fanart that is meant to reflect off the assassins while at the same time mocking them.

Every time I listen to November 22, 1963 from the original production of Assassins I have to look up what $1.25/hour is equivalent to now and every time I am reminded how it is significantly higher than the current minimum wage.

Lee Harvey Oswald was paid more than I am.

Who Is ‘Prayer Man’?
On the day of JFK’s assignation, Dave Wiegman and Jimmy Darnell, two of the news cameramen travelling in the motorcade, began filming when they heard gunshots. For several decades, the significance of their two films was thought to lie in their portrayal of the spectators along Elm Street and the cars in the motorcade. More recently, attention has been drawn to the films’ depiction of the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository, and in particular to a previously ignored figure who, according to some observers, may have been Lee Harvey Oswald. In several frames of the two black–and–white news films, a figure is visible in the western corner of the TSBD doorway. From the cameras’ point of view, the figure is standing to the left of the man in the Altgens photograph who has been identified as Billy Lovelady. The figure’s right arm appears to be raised across its chest, which has earned it the name ‘Prayer Man’. The figure is unlikely to have been praying, but it may have its arms crossed, or it may be holding an object up to its chest. Although the figure in the currently available versions of the films is insufficiently distinct to permit a definitive identification, it appears to be a white man, dressed in a loose, dark–toned shirt with an open neck and either short or rolled–up sleeves. The figure does not appear to be wearing a white shirt or a tie, as would have been customary for male office workers in the early 1960s. Its short hair and light skin tone strongly suggest that it is neither a woman nor a black man, although the lack of definition in the images does not completely rule out either possibility. The figure’s head and hairline are not inconsistent with Oswald’s appearance.
Could ‘Prayer Man’ Have Been Oswald?
Lee Oswald claimed to have been on the first floor at the time of the assassination. There is certainly very little evidence to support the official doctrine that he was on the sixth floor of the TSBD. An unreliable witness, Howard Brennan, described the gunman as looking somewhat like Oswald, and a handful of other witnesses gave vague descriptions that matched Oswald along with any number of other young, white men. On the other hand:
Every witness who described the gunman’s clothing, including Brennan, claimed that it did not match Oswald’s clothing.
Oswald was seen on a lower floor about 15 minutes before the shooting, at the same time as a spectator saw a gunman on the sixth floor.
Oswald is known to have been on the first floor, in or near the domino room, about five or ten minutes after this.
Reports in the Dallas Morning News and the New York Herald Tribune, both published on the morning after the assassination, state that Ochus Campbell, the vice–president of the TSBD company, and a policeman saw Oswald very shortly after the shooting in a “storage room on the first floor”
The currently available evidence of Oswald’s location at the time of the assassination does not preclude him from being Prayer Man.
When Marina Oswald (who has maintained her husband’s innocence) was shown by researchers pictures of the "prayer man" from the films taken by Dave Wiegman of NBC-TV and Jimmy Darnell of WBAP-TV during the assassination, an unprompted Marina told Ed LeDoux that the “Prayer Man” was Lee.

marina oswald’s testimony from lemmino’s new jfk vid & this guy’s reaction to it got my dramatic gears turning.
“she says no, but if you are sure your husband wasn’t involved, why do you go check and see if the rifle’s missing?”
