From: The JFK Assassination
perspectivealternative

Skeptics argue that many JFK conspiracy theories are completely unproven and ignore basic facts. They point out that over fifty years of wild rumors have produced zero concrete evidence of a second shooter. Theories range from the Mafia to a Secret Service agent accidentally firing his gun, and even a bizarre idea about Oswald being addicted to sugar. Critics argue these theories survive not because they are true, but because they feed on our natural distrust of authority.
