The oldest son of Robert F. Kennedy, denounced the possible parole of the Palestinian man convicted of killing his father in California in 1968.
"I understand that there are differing views about ending the sentence of this killer, including within my own family. But emotions and opinions do not change facts or history," former congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II said.
"The prisoner killed my father because of his support of Israel," Kennedy wrote in a separate statement. "The man was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Yet he now may walk free, no doubt to the cheers of those who share his views. Let there be no mistake, the prisoner's release will be celebrated by those who believe that political disagreements can be solved by a gun."
Robert F. Kennedy was a US senator from New York and the brother of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963. RFK had been seeking the Democratic presidential nomination when he was gunned down at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles moments after delivering a victory speech in the pivotal California primary. Five others were wounded.
Joe Kennedy II is one of RFK and Ethel Kennedy's 11 children, nine of whom are still alive. Two of them, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Douglas Kennedy, said they supported the release of Sirhan.

interesting…
Pretty sure Candice Owens is blaming Israel for killing the Kennedys. Anyone else hear that?
Sirhan Sirhan is 81 years old.
Release him.
Off the Golden Gate Bridge and let him swim to shore
Guess Candace didn’t get the memo about Sirhan Sirhan? Or maybe she thinks he didn’t do it? I dunno.
Both Sen RFK and President JFK supported Israel, at least publicly.

PUTTING HIM OUT WHERE HE CAN PAY A FINAL PRICE???
The bullet that killed RFK was fired from the back. Sirhan was in front of him.
In today’s political climate, I doubt if JFK would be a Democrat. He was an anti-communist and a tax cutter. Policies that are total anathema in the current Democrat party.
RFK Jr was singing a very different tune not all that long ago.
What RFK Jr. actually believes about his father’s assassination — and how it’s torn the Kennedy family apart

That theory is based on Kennedy trying to prevent Israel from obtaining nuclear weapons.
By contract, LBJ is regarded as one of America's most pro-Israel presidents. He even ordered a quick conclusion to the US Liberty attack investigation, one that supported Israel's version of events.
JFK would have ‘evolved’ over time.
Oops I now see this was about RFK Jr’s son. Should have read the article first.
Are they real sure Sirhan Sirhan was the triggerman? What I have seen and read proves he was the fall guy.
Mick Jagger said that it was you and me.
FIFY
Are you out of your mind? He committed the murder in front of about a dozen witnesses. George Plimpton was one of the people who wrestled him to the ground. After a certain point conspiracy theories are truly insanity.
“The bullet that killed RFK was fired from the back. Sirhan was in front of him.”
Details, details.
Lol.

See post 18.
This case is not what you think it is.
RFK Jr says Sirhan was a patsy. RFK was shot from behind.
