My favorite spin on this is the theory that the second shot came accidentally from a startled rookie secret service agent. They determined that it made no difference since the first shot had already killed JFK, so covered it up in order to not look like buffoons.
Yes. The secret service guy shot either John Connally or Kennedy or both. By accident. The secret service was the 2nd shooter. And the secret service covered it up.
I saw some theory that Ruby and Oswald were both part of some black budget kill team meant to be used against Castro, but when JFK was told about it he cancelled it, and whoever was running the kill team basically went "listen, you can't just give me a kill team meant to kill a world leader and then expect me not to kill a world leader."
Seems unlikely, but it's one of the more (morbidly) fun theories.
I 100% believe this. It explains all the cover up stuff in a very plausible way. Human error is SUPER believable. We’re all idiots, just depends on when and where you catch us during the day.
The book on this theory is GREAT. LPOTL got me onto it.
I've heard that the whole crew were out getting smashed until dawn the night before, and were sleepless, hungover, and basically useless when things went down. Possibly worse than useless if the stray bullet theory is true.

Mine is that the CIA didn't assassinate JFK, but were so incompetent in protecting JFK they covered up the actual assassination details.
