Title: Another shock for Americans.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30292 ANOTHER SHOCK FOR AMERICANS DALLAS, Texas -- The second chapter in the tragedy of a nation. This dramatic photograph shows Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub operator at right, as he thrust a gun forward to shoot Lee Harvey Oswald, accused slayer of President Kennedy. The killing of Oswald was condemned by most responsible Americans as, in the words of a newspaper editorial, “a blot on justice.” But often -- too often, commentators said -- such comments as these were heard: “he (Oswald) had it coming” and “it will save the expense of sending him to the electric chair.” A reporter said that among the Dallas crowd outside the police headquarters “there were great cheers…loud ‘yippees’…real Texas shouts.” Around the country reports were heard of citizens suggesting that Ruby, Oswald’s slayer, “should get the Congressional Medal of Honor.” This response was condemned by the press, the clergy, the nation’s leaders. They cried out in appeals for an end to hatred, prejudice, inflammatory statements. It was pointed out that John F. Kennedy had said: “Our nation is founded on the principle that observance of the law is the eternal safeguard of liberty and defiance of the law is the surest road to tyranny.” Said one newspaper: “Thos who applaud the killer on the ground that he gave the suspected assassin his due must share in the disgrace. They do no honor to our late President or to the institutions which President Kennedy ought to uphold.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-11E-63-W)
