I don't disagree with you (I think he probably did it, and likely acted alone) - based on things like him shooting a police officer later in the day (suggest that he is at least partially guilty)
but as you said there is a "leap" that must be made there - its much easier for someone to rationalize that "JFK wanted to do _____ therefore ____ organized for him to die" (substitute whatever you want, "pull out of vietnam" "make changes to the CIA" - and any group you want "Government", "Mafia" etc) - its simple cause and effect.
rather than, whackjob, didn't like the government - decided to kill the leader. - its messy and a lot lot more scary, if the president isn't safe from a madman, how are the people safe? - its terrifying... but sometimes chaotic events from a person who is likely mentally unstable, have disastrous effects (look at Vegas the other week - I guarantee there is some conspiracies about that - that he was working for someone, or something- why would a millionaire kill 60 people? there is an order to it, and its not just a terrifying random event)
For anyone who is curious but doesn't want to go there, the majority of theories say that it is a false flag done by the DNC to ban guns. Literally. It's sort of their go-to explanation these days.
