There are many conspiracy theories regarding RFKs death which imho merit real consideration.

Two pieces that have gotten my attention over the years:

(1) Sirhan supposedly worked for a horse farm owned and operated by organized crime. Bobby had kidnapped Carlos Marcellos (New Orleans capo), and dumped him in the jungles of Guatemala as a "deportation of an illegal alien". Marcellos returned to New Orleans and vowed "get that stone out of my shoe" (referring to RFK). The Mafia (and the CIA, for other reasons) killed JFK to end the reign of RFK as Attorney General.

Flash forward to 1968:

at that moment there was a real likelihood of Bobby winning the Democratic nomination and the election. Since Bobby believed (knew?) the CIA/Mafia had killed his brother he would use Presidential powers to exact revenge.

The Mafia worked with the CIA to brainwash Sirhan. (RFK Must die scribbles over and over and over in Sirhan's diary suggest this brainwashing.)

(2) Another gunmen fired at the scene. There were two many shots, too many bulletholes, for Sirhan to have been the sole shooter.

I think the Israel/Palestine line is just a cover story to make everyone feel good--Sirhan's "radical Palestinian ties" are dubious.

No way. RFK just happened to pass through the kitchen where Sirhan happened to work. Sirhan happened to have a gun with him when he happened to see RFK, so he took advantage of the opportunity and shot him. Bad things like this happen every day.

President Garfield was shot just the same way. He happened to be passing through Union Station, when a pyscho who had a gun on him took advantage of the opportunity and shot him.

Same thing happened when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.

There is no need to see a conspiracy in everything.
