does anyone have a pic of Bruce Carlin?
Fri 18 Jul 2014, 11:48 amAnonymous
I've found lots of pics (and videos) of Karen, but nothing about Bruce. Anyone have a pic of this guy?

There's something that's been bothering me about the Karen Carlin story - about the five bucks and all that.

The story I have, goes something iike this: the first one to call Ruby about the five bucks, was Bruce. Bruce and Karen and Tammi True were together at the Colony Club when Bruce made the call. Then, Ruby got "annoyed" and said okay, he'd come over. When he didn't show up, Karen called him back, and that's when he got Huey Reeves on the line and told him to give her five bucks.

Subsequently, Tammi True denied that the five bucks was ever given (although how she's know is unclear, and also it seems Jack was in the habit of not paying his girls, which leads to resentment, which then leads to behaviors like Tammi's).

Here's what I find odd though: here's Karen sitting next two people both of whom are working, and she's working too, and she needs five bucks. Now, I could understand better, if she'd said she needed FIFTY bucks, or a hundred - y'know, rent money, money for groceries, whatever the situation.

I smell something else goin' on in here... I smell.... narcotics maybe. Heroin. Back in the day they didn't have twenty dollar balloons, they had dime bags, and way back in the 60's they weren't even a dime, they were a NICKEL. Five bucks. The Cubans and Puerto Ricans call 'em "pericos" - "nickels" (even if they cost 20 bucks).

Sounds to me, like either Karen or Bruce needed a bag of dope.

Which helps explain to me, why Jack Ruby was so "annoyed". (Besides being tired and amp'd out himself, I mean). Because he probably knew what the five bucks was for.

Karen said she need the five bucks to "get back to Fort Worth", but my goodness, she could easily have borrowed five bucks from the bartender at the Colony Club, couldn't she? How about Tammi True, she musta had five bucks, dontcha think?

Hm.

So I was scrutinizing a few of these pics and videos checking for pinhole eyes. That's when I discovered there didn't seem to be a pic of Bruce.

Anyone can help this information junkie in trouble?  Laughing
