I was in high school at the time, and didn’t know a whole
lot about RFK’s platform. By that time I had dismissed the
Democrats as anti-American Communists. It wasn’t as overt as
it is today, but it was clear they had Ho Chi Minh’s back.
That was enough for me.
RFK didn’t interest me for that reason. If anyone loved our
nation, they couldn’t still be a Democrat, I reasoned. Boy
was I right.
The thing is, I did not then, nor do I today back the idea
that an assassination is the answer to anything.
I did not see any benefit to killing RFK. It was and still
is a disgusting act by a person with a very sick mind.
JFK, MLK, nothing was improved by their deaths. The death
of Reagan would have solved nothing. It would have made
things worse.
Our system of government has methods for removing people
from power if there is a problem. As we’ve seen, that
isn’t an answer to some situations, Obama and Biden to be
specific.
Either get the guy out through legal means, or live with it.
Generally, the platform of the assassinated president is
honored and implemented anyway.
I realize RFK was a leading candidate, and not already the
president, but I think the same rules apply.
When a man takes another man’s life, he forfeits his own. Sirhan Sirhan should not be released on parole. If he is, it says to anyone inclined to kill another that it is okay.
He should not be let out.
He played the system, he’s free and alive, and JFK is still dead.
A Governor Elder can pardon him on the anniversary of Chappaquiddik. I’ve said it here before.
Robert Kennedy would have been elected president, he was that popular with the drones. I think there’s more to his murder than just Sirhan x2.
PUKE!
I’m confused as to whether or not you’re serious or joking.
There are lots of outraged cries from liberals on this over at Twitter, claiming that Sirhan broke their hearts, stole the hope of a generation, etc. I guess that means that parole for killing a lib icon is different than parole for anyone else who murdered someone 50 years ago.
Question:
When released, did Sirhan join the Taliban, Al Queda, or ISIS-K?
Kind of a vague article. What was the sentence imposed on Mr. Sirhan? Did he serve it? If he fulfilled his sentence, is there a reason he should not be eligible for parole? Seems relevant.
Journalism today. Sad.
What the f are you talking about?
Ah well it was pretty simple English.
It was on topic.
Sorry you’re having a tough time.
Last week, a California parole board voted to allow the release of Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian immigrant to shot and killed Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
This week, some hack at none-too-Brietbart used the term 'Palestinian immigrant' to describe an Arab murderer and terrorist. Thanks Marv.
“serious or joking”
Oh, I’m very serious about it. And the L.A. County autopsy raises some really interesting problems to the results of the investigations.
Famed Los Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Noguchi conducted the autopsy of Robert F. Kennedy.
The autopsy began on June 6. It has been called “the perfect autopsy” for its attention to detail. At its conclusion, the autopsy documented 3 gunshot injuries. One bullet entered the right axilla posteriorly and exited near the right clavicle. The second bullet entered the back on the right side, lodging at the base of the neck in the subcutaneous space. Neither of these injuries caused life-threatening harm. The lethal injury to the right posterior auricular region had associated powder burns on the skin, and therefore Noguchi stated that the gun was within 3 inches when the shooting occurred.
Examination of the intracranial contents showed extensive injury to the right cerebellum and right occipital cortex. There were multiple bone and bullet fragments scattered across the brain tissue, and evidence of epidural, subdural, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. There was also evidence of brainstem herniation due to cerebral edema. Damage to the brainstem was likely due to this herniation and not to direct trauma. Both the right middle cerebral artery and the petrous sinus were injured by bullet and bone fragments and were the predominant source of the bleeding.
After physical examination of the body, Noguchi evaluated the gun, bullets, Kennedy’s clothes, and ballistics tests. The discrepancy between eyewitness reports that Sirhan came no closer than 12 to 18 inches from Kennedy when the shooting occurred and the Noguchi report, which stated that the gun was within 3 inches of the right ear at the time of the shooting, was not highlighted in the autopsy report.
Noguchi, in his later writings, makes it clear that his report did not imply that Sirhan was the lone shooter, leaving the door open for conspiracy theorists. And if Sirhan was in front of Kennedy, how did he shoot him from the back in all three shots?
As for the follow up investigation from an article from the Washington Post:
The murder investigation originally was conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department and, to a lesser extent, the FBI. Official police reports agreed that eight bullets caused all the damage, and according to these reports, Kennedy was shot three times at point-blank range; five other victims, all of whom survived, were each shot once. Seven of the eight bullets reportedly fired from Sirhan’s gun were recovered, according to the LAPD, and one was lost in the ceiling space of the pantry. Robert Kennedy’s son, Robert Kennedy Jr., later said that “There were too many bullets”, and that “You can’t fire 13 shots out of an eight-shot gun”.
Then it’s safe to assume that since there were more bullets fired than Sirhan’s gun could contain, then a second gun was used. And it had to be in back and right against Kennedy.
There’s a lot more but this is enough to prove he didn’t kill Kennedy. Did he have a gun? Yes. Did he unload the gun? Yes, all eight shots. Did he fire the shots that hit five people behind Kenney? Yes. Did he hit Kennedy in the back when he was in front of him and at least a foot from him and make powder burns on the back of the body. No. Did he kill Kennedy? He couldn’t have with this little part of the evidence that has come forward since then by itself.
No, I’m not kidding. And evidence backs me. And there were a few that wanted him dead anyway.

Am sure Mary. Jo would’ve liked to have said a few words.
Who’s going to pay his medical bills and what is he going to be able to do once he is out?
He’s no longer a danger to anyone, but what is he going to do out on the streets?
If there is any justice he’ll die on the streets within a week
“serious or joking”
Oh, I’m very serious. And the autopsy report along with further proof from an electronic investigation confirms that Sirhan didn’t kill him.
Famed Los Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Noguchi conducted the autopsy of Robert F. Kennedy.
The autopsy began on June 6. It has been called “the perfect autopsy” for its attention to detail. At its conclusion, the autopsy documented 3 gunshot injuries.

Noguchi, in his later writings, makes it clear that his report did not imply that Sirhan was the lone shooter, leaving the door open for conspiracy theorists. And if Sirhan was in front of Kennedy, how did he shoot him from the back in all three shots leaving powder burns while hitting 5 more people behind Kennedy and no shots traveling in front of him? And how did the kill shot hit the cerebellum which is located in the back of the head with no path damage from the front? Simple, all strikes were from the back. where he wasn’t standing.
According to an investigation article by the Washington Post,
There were, at least, 13 shots fired. Even the family is unsure:
There were too many bullets,” he (RK Jr) told The Washington Post. “You can’t fire 13 shots out of an eight-shot gun.”
All kinds of proof. Just have to ask the questions which no one did because they were told what to think. Hope this helps.

Thanks for trying to spread some illumination around here.
I am astonished that so many Freepers act as if law enforcement can do no wrong, despite watching them attempt to frame our President, an act of blatant Treason.
“Thanks for trying to spread some illumination around here.”
You’re welcome. But a lot of people are killed for reason in this country and was directly related to the US. Names like Leon Jordan in 1970, Oscar Romero in El Salvador the US investigated, Malcom X, Huey Long, and new ones over the last 30 years like Seth Rich, Jeffrey Epstein, Vince Foster, and Gary Parks.
Political assassination is the greatest form of public service. And the obvious ones are almost so ridiculous they’d make a good SNL skit. One of the best was Commerce Secretary Ron Brown when his plane went down after saying he was going to have a press conference displaying the movement of super computers to Korea by Clinton. There are many more. A couple more good ones are Marilyn and Mary Joe Lapechne. But those are other stories as they are tied to the Kennedys.

He was a die-hard McCarthyite who knew how to quote those white supremacists Shakespeare and Aeschylus. So of course it was no crime to kill him./s
