(10,173 posts)60 years of conspiracy theories - often contradictory - have led nowhere. Many of them cherry-pick their facts, ignoring points that don't fit the chose narrative; others seem to be built on the assumption that all people will act and react logically and consistently, no matter how unusual the circumstances. Add in the Secret Service trying to cover its rear end, and feds and Texas lawmen squabbling about jurisdiction, and you have the ingredients for a real botched investigation.
What sealed it for me was visiting Dealy Plaza. After reading quite a few conspiracy books, what struck me was how small the place was. While I have not fired a rifle in over fifty years, it seemed plausible that someone familiar with his weapon could get off one fatal shot - out of three.
