We already know they [the conspiracy nuts at the alt.conspiracy.jfk newsgroup] are crazy.

That pretty much nails it down right there. (In a "Nut"shell.) :)
Another thing:
Many of the JFK conspiracy-giddy clowns just love to be DIFFERENT in one way or another. These individuals love to feel that it is THEY (alone) who have finally "solved" the greatest murder "mystery" of our time. Thomas "TWO HEAD SHOTS FROM THE REAR" Purvis being an excellent example of this type of mindset.
And Donald Willis is another pretty good example of what I'm talking about. Don is a conspiracy kook who wanders into these forums from time to time, spouting one nutty theory or another.
Don likes to think that he has discovered the identity of WHO it was who actually killed John F. Kennedy (or at least ONE of the gunmen who fired shots at the President). Don told us in 2007 that it was teenaged TSBD employee Danny Arce who was firing a rifle from the Depository on 11/22/63 (instead of Lee Harvey Oswald, naturally). No kidding--Danny Arce!
"Arce as the shooter...west side." -- Don Willis; Feb. 2007
Steve, you ought to read this 2007 thread regarding Willis' craziness. It's a howl.
So, it seems as though Donald has a desire to be "different" (very, VERY different, in fact, given his nutsville theory about Arce), which is probably a prime motive for wanting to believe in a conspiracy and for disbelieving the perfectly logical (and perfectly correct) Warren Commission version of events.
Footnote -- Now, maybe Donald Willis, since early 2007, has changed his mind about Arce shooting JFK. It wouldn't surprise me if he had. Some of these conspiracy goofs change theories as often as the late Johnny Carson changed wives. So, it's quite possible that Mr. Willis' current unprovable (and very "different") theory is this one:
SHOE SALESMAN JOHNNY BREWER KILLED PRESIDENT KENNEDY WITH A SHOE HORN, AND THEN BREWER TRIED TO PIN THE WHOLE THING ON LEE HARVEY OSWALD BY FINGERING SWEET LEE IN THE TEXAS THEATER SHORTLY AFTER THE ASSASSINATION.
