It was Bill the Butcher driving?

I was listening to startalk radio with guest Michael Shermer about conspiracy theories, and he made the great point that conspiracy theories only catch on when they are “successful”, and brought up how Reagan’s failed assassination attempt didn’t garner any, but you can be sure if he died they would run wild. >50% of people don’t think Oswald acted alone, but theories about Reagan’s attempt aren’t popular at all. Something about the proportionality of the event, and our refusal to accept that one person can do something to cause such drastic change.
