Who’s the fourth; GROUCHO or CHICO?

“but my reasoning was that if we needed those meds on a daily basis, God would have provided them internally.”

Ideally. Hundreds of thousands of drug addicts obviously don’t have the same mindset. (Sadly.)

True...

We disagree on a lot of things.

“Didn’t Sirhan admit to killing Kennedy?”

Interesting that Sirhan admitted at his trial in 1969 that he shot Kennedy. But he, also, claimed from the start that he had no memory of doing so. And the evidence should have proven him wrong.

One of the main things that never came out was that the bullet count was wrong.

Sirhan’s .22-caliber Iver Johnson Cadet revolver contained eight rounds, which were all fired. Since the assassination took place in a tight, confined pantry, all bullets became embedded in the walls, the ceiling, and the victims. Three bullets hit Kennedy; two stayed in his body and another tore through his arm. The five bullets that hit the other five victims stayed in their bodies, meaning one bullet (that passed through Kennedy’s arm) would have been lodged in the room itself. The LAPD found three bullet holes in the foam ceiling, and concluded that a bullet must have ricocheted through the ceiling before turning back and hitting a person. Martin Patrusky, a hotel waiter, remembered being told by officers that they had removed two bullets from the door frame. The LAPD removed the door frame and the ceiling tiles and later incinerated them. 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”. And again, Sirhan was in front of him, not behind his right ear and never on film within a reaching point of one inch. But there’s a lot more to this not public unless you try to find it.

In late 1975, a Los Angeles judge convened a panel of seven experts in forensics to examine ballistic evidence. They found that the three bullets that hit Kennedy were all fired from the same gun, but could not find a match between these bullets and Sirhan’s revolver. They accused DeWayne Wolfer, the lead crime scene investigator who had testified at trial that a bullet taken from Kennedy’s body was from Sirhan’s revolver, of running a careless investigation. The forensic experts urged further investigation.

An internal police document, which was later released, concluded that “Kennedy and Weisel bullets not fired from same gun” and “Kennedy bullet not fired from Sirhan’s revolver.”

In 2007, analysis of an audio recording of the shooting made that night by freelance reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski appeared to indicate, according to forensic expert Philip van Praag, that at least 13 shots were fired. Van Praag also said the recording revealed at least two instances in which the time between shots was shorter than humanly possible and that different resonances indicated there was more than one gun. According to Van Praag, the firing of more than eight shots was independently corroborated by forensic audio specialists Wes Dooley and Paul Pegas of Audio Engineering Associates, forensic audio and ballistics expert Eddy B. Brixen, and audio specialist Phil Spencer Whitehead of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

On November 26, 2011, Sirhan’s defense attorneys William F. Pepper and Laurie Dusek filed a 62-page brief in federal court asserting that a bullet used as evidence to convict Sirhan was switched with another bullet at the crime scene. The brief claims that this was done because the bullet taken from Kennedy’s neck did not match Sirhan’s gun. Pepper and Dusek, Sirhan’s attorneys, claim that the new evidence is sufficient to find Sirhan not guilty under the law.

Here’s an interesting piece of film:

So it comes down to who I think killed him. Read this article and you’ll get a different look. It’s a little long, but it ties things together.

A note here, right before the 1960 election there was a deal made with Sam Giancana to assist in getting JFK elected, and thus RFK into the AG slot. That was the year a number of dead people voted in Chicago for JFK and he landed the electoral votes in Illinois. He won by less than .2%, JFK - 49.98% Nixon - 49.80%.

The investigations on the Chicago mob and Sam Giancana started shortly after the election. And that’s what got the Kennedy brothers killed. They broke their promise to the wrong guy.

“...promising to send jets to Israel, if elected.”

The US had been recognizing Israel for many years before the assassination of JFK, let alone RFK. Sirhan, a Palestinian, was one in a number of people that wanted JFK’s and RFK’s scalp. Did Sirhan shoot RFK...yes. Did he kill him...no. Way too much evidence against it.
