There were two shooters when Kennedy was assassinated. They acted independently, but he was shot twice. The second one was on the grassy knoll and was hired by the mafia.
Also, MLK was killed by Memphis police.
Nah, the killer blow was his own security guard fucking up pulling his gun and it accidentally discharged. Whoopsie!
I fully believe this one. It’s what led me to generally think that most “conspiracy theories” (in quotes to denote the more pop-culture use of the term) probably have way more boring stories behind them. Like the idea that we actually did go to the moon, but filmed an enactment on a soundstage just in case the broadcast didn’t actually work, and that bit got out which leads to the wider conspiracy.
Absolutely the most believable out of all the theories. The best one is still "his head just did that" though
I wouldn't be at all surprised by the JFK one, there's so much about that we don't know and clearly there's more to the story. What's the mafia link?
As attorney general Robert Kennedy was leading a campaign against the mob. They didn’t like this so they killed his brother.
Also, Jack Ruby had ties to the mob.
Ahhhh I see
The Kennedy family had deep mob ties as well, going back to their grandfather.
Robert Kennedy going after the Mob, was just trying to break the family free.
These are actually pretty good. What are the chances of two shooters getting the idea to shoot the presidential motorcade as it slowed down to turn a corner, with that long straightaway? I would say pretty good. They could have both "seen the shot".
