Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

This theory is complete bollocs and ridiculous. There is not a single witness who saw this happen. Almost all heard the shots coming from the book depository, not two from there and one from the limo. The shot that killed JFK was vastly different from one that would be fired from an AR-16. Furthermore, this person who, according to this theory "shot kennedy" testified, that they were long in the overpass when he reached for his gun. Also it is PROVEN that oswald fired 3 shots, by 3 shell casings and massive amount of witness testimony.

Not to mention the fact that he wasn't the only one to complete the oswald shot challenge. His shots were easy to reproduce, by anyone who would try it.

Finally, there wasnt a coverup, if any sort. Unless you think a massive report is a coverup, then i can't help you.

My theory is that Oswald acted alone, fired 3 shots and killed JFK

Interesting. I was just going off of something I heard on a podcast, which I know isn't necessarily authoritative. I don't think we'll ever know for sure, so it's not terribly interesting to me and I don't bother with the topic much.

Thing is, we do know for sure. This is not a thing that is really debatable, the data only leads to one conclusion.

I don't feel 100% on the data or that the data is complete. Either way, it ultimately doesn't affect me so it's fine that I don't know how much I trust it.
