“They had my number; if they needed me they would call.” Textbook, disciplined attitude. Similar to the Titanic’s Second Officer Lightholler who was off duty when the berg was struck, and remained in his cabin figuring if he was needed they would know where to find him.
Fascinating. This is the best history you can't get out of a book. Much credit to the Museum. Moderator asking in the most polite way possible, how do you feel about being responsible for what happened. "Well, if you get caught you need an excuse don't ya?"
The most important point I learned from this interview with Pierce, was his statement that an off-duty officer watched the whole event from across the street and saw Ruby enter the building, down the ramp, when the officer guarding the entrance was holding traffic to allow Pierce to position his car in front of the armored car. Maybe they should have had 2 officers guarding the entrance.
I love hearing someone’s frank opinions. As a kid I and my older siblings were all about telling my mom to shut up because she was embarrassing us. As a matter of fact my siblings made me run to stand by my outspoken mom at our dad’s funeral with his third wife present, because my mom had a low opinion of her. But she did okay! The older I get the funnier it seems that once people are too old to try to attract a mate to make offspring with, the more interesting and honest they become.
Kari-Mette is such a wonderful representative of Pan Am. I'm proud to have been a small part of Pan Am later than Kari-Mette but knowing people like her and having worked with them taught me to be a better flight attendant myself. Her experiences on the White House press charters are fascinating and I'm so glad she was interviewed for this project.
Why did the officer who saw Ruby go down the ramp not go and tell someone of this, or was there not enough time? How long was Ruby actually in the basement?
Ha ha,the man tells it like it was.hunger paved his way to being a cop,we need to use hunger as a tool to show the EBT crowd the fulfilment one receives from a job.
Now here’s a Brandon type in terms of where his mind is at the time this was filmed. Although in this gentleman’s case I believe hearing loss has a lot more to do with it. Brandon has excellent hearing aids and assistance.
So, he FAILED his assignment. Let me get this straight, he was in charge of the BASEMENT SECURITY when Oswald was tranferred, yet, HE was driving the transfer vehicle at the time Oswald was shot????? Who was the genius who made THAT decision? AND WHY??? What a POS liar who was in on the murder and cover-up. After all these years he shows little, if any, remorse.
This is my favorite living history. Great guest and one of Stephen's best interviews.
Great job by the Museum getting stories like this before everyone is gone.
I would love to hear Robert Oswald one last time.
Me too!
Love this guy. He certainly is a character 😂.
Tells it like it is!
Just got his autograph today, such an honor, wish I had made this session.

He's definitely a GOOD OLE BOY"
Old Guy is not to be cornered or pushed around.

Wow. Great interview with important witness.
He is one sharp gentlemen! We should listen well!
He's a no nonsense throwback,a man of his time and makes no apologies for it.
We could use more of his type today.

Rio, ya got sum splaining ta do
Seriously, I just love Mr. Pierce. Wonderful man.
If he was in charge of the basement security, why the hell was he driving the vehicle????
this is my great grand dad!! might be hard to believe but it's true!

They all knew Ruby. He was a cop hanger-on.
Some police officers swore up and down Ruby didn’t sneak down the ramp.
Didn't a DPD detective say he saw Ruby sitting in a green car in the basement . Just before he shot LHO .

Lee Herold Oswald??
So, he FAILED his assignment.

Who was the genius who made THAT decision?
AND WHY???
What a POS liar who was in on the murder and cover-up. After all these years he shows little, if any, remorse.
Looks like a slightly aged Tommy Lee Jones.Jones actually looks older than the lieutenant.
Why is the six floor muesem so one sided?
Really? You need an answer to that question?
@@ckom0007 Well I can see you dont I have no reason why.There is no real evidence against anybody but Oswald except in Conspiracy buffs minds.
Ruby was aPCI
This guy is sharp for 91
Because the truth is ine sided these are the real people who were there.Hell they had Wecht on there stop crying.
