When I first saw Dealey Plaza for myself I knew all the conspiracy theories were bunk. I stood on the sidewalk and felt like I could have reached out and touched that window where Oswald fired the rifle. No hidden gunman from a grassy knoll. It was all bunk and only Oswald killed President Kennedy.

Yes
And a large conspiracy would have required hundreds and hundreds (maybe even thousands) to participate and then keep evrything quiet.
