$50-60k/yr x 51yrs is far too much to waste on that POS.
We need the old-fashioned “executioner” travelling from death row to death row, implementing the legally-mandated executions, after 1 appeal. I’d volunteer.

The prison should name the inmate who shanked Sirhan Sirhan so we can all send $5.00 to his commissary account, $10.00 if the Arab murderer (but I repeat myself) dies.

The dude that shot RFK?

That's the official story, if you believe what the government and media tell you.

There is the issue of more bullet holes than the gun would hold bullets, and the destruction of evidence. But you could write that off to mere coincidence.

A bit surprised by the number of left wing Kennedyites showing up on this thread.

Palestinian terrorist. Maybe. Or perhaps a pawn.

Sirhan was born into an Arab Palestinian Christian family[6][7] in Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine. As a child growing up in the West Bank, Sirhan was traumatized by the violence he witnessed in the Arab–Israeli conflict, including the death of his older brother, who was run over by a military vehicle that was swerving to escape hostile gunfire.[8]

When Sirhan was 12 years old, his family emigrated to the US, moving briefly to New York and then to California. In Altadena, he attended Eliot Junior High School, followed by John Muir High School and Pasadena City College, both in Pasadena. Sirhan’s father, Bishara, has been characterized as a stern man who often beat his sons harshly. Shortly after the family's move to California, Bishara returned alone to the Middle East.[9] Standing 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm) and weighing 120 pounds (54 kg) at 20 years old, Sirhan moved to Corona to train to be a jockey while working at a stable, but lost his job and abandoned the pursuit after suffering a head injury in a racing accident.[10]

Sirhan never became an American citizen, retaining instead his Jordanian citizenship.[7] As an adult, he changed church denominations several times, joining Baptist and Seventh-day Adventist churches.[11] Then in 1966, he joined the occult organization Ancient Mystical Order of the Rose Cross, commonly known as the Rosicrucians.[12]

Absolutely but the criminals in government would steal the funds and use it for his mayoral campaign.

I think what spared Sirhan’s life was that this all happened in California. That state was not performing death penalites at that time.

Actually he was given the death penalty in 1969 but in 1972 the state supreme court threw out the death penalty statewide so everyone on death row's sentences were changed to life in prison. That same year voters passed a constitutional revision to reinstate the death penalty and it became law again in 1973. However in 1976 the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional again, and in 1978 voters reinstated it again, which is where it now stands. Of course any criminal who was commuted along the way was off the hook, Sirhan being one of them.

Time for some bed-time reading:

Sirhan was a patsy—don’t fall for Deep State and mass media propaganda.

Rosicrucians seem like followers of a great deal of New Age philosophies couched in ancient terms. Easy to suck in gullible people.

Then in 1966, he joined the occult organization Ancient Mystical Order of the Rose Cross, commonly known as the Rosicrucians.

They were advertising in all the adventure magazines back in the 1960s.
