Of all the conspiracy theories out there, this one is one of the most ridiculous. For 50 years, conspiracists have been going on about how impossible Oswald's shot supposedly was, yet come up with this alternate theory that speculates the actual headshot was an accident. Amazing that not a single witness, including several of Kennedy's aides and personal friends riding in the same car as the accused SS agent, happened to notice anything. But, a few people apparently smelled gun powder, so it must be true.
While it is speculated that conspiracy theories are born out of distrust of the federal government, I believe this one has been popularized purely for its entertainment value. Incredible how many people have had their name dragged through the mud by conspiracists.
