Robert Kennedy's Assassin Faces Parole Board
SKY News ^ | February 10, 2016

Posted on 02/10/2016 1:29:25 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The man who fatally shot presidential candidate Robert Kennedy nearly half a century ago faces a parole board in California.

Sirhan Sirhan, 71, will have his 15th such hearing at the Richard J Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego on Wednesday.

The Palestinian-born Sirhan is serving a life sentence for opening fire on the political scion at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on 5 June 1968.

He has denied having any recollection of the killing, but has also said he targeted Kennedy because of his support for Israel.

Sirhan was last denied parole in 2011, when the board ruled he had not shown sufficient remorse.

Israel was called Palestine. When England ruled it.

I see it as an attack on the Post of Attorney General, not on a Kennedy.


Also it is an attack on a major presidential candidate. Imagine if a Cruz or a Sanders were shot today.

If Sirhan is released, he will probably head for the Middle East, where he will be paraded around as a “hero.”

When it came to the 2008 meltdown, I thought a number of our politicians should have wound up in prison.

71 years ago (1944), there was a place known as "Palestine"?

Yes. It was west of the TransJordan. Any world map up through the mid-1940s would have shown it. That's where Hitler wanted to send the German Jews but the British blocked him.

Here's a map from the Jewish Virtual Library

They let Hinkley wander about. Seems only fair to let this one out too.

Big difference: Hinkley shot a REPUBLICAN.

Bigger difference: Hinkley's jury found him NOT GUILTY by reason of insanity.

Another big difference: Hinckley did not kill anyone.

IMO Obama and the Clintons belong in Leavenworth.

Any person who willfully takes another person’s life should never be free again.

Yes, until the Jewish “National Bolshevist” terrorists ran off the British through a program of assassination (Folke Bernadotte murdered after he had gotten hundreds of Jews out of Nazi concentration camps and to freedom), and hotel bombings (King David Hotel), and massacres of women and children (Deir Yassin).
