Terrorist Sirhan Sirhan shot Senator Robert F. Kennedy at point-blank range while he was campaigning for president. The notorious assassin was never supposed to be released and had been originally recommended for execution.
Governor Gavin Newsom is about to sign his release. Perhaps Sirhan Sirhan will be deported to Jordan.
The media keeps reporting that two of the Kennedy sons called for the notorious killer of the sitting US senator be released. That’s what the media wants you to hear. What most of the media don’t tell you is most of the family wants him to remain in prison.
Douglas Kennedy, one of Kennedy’s sons, attended the hearing on Friday and urged the commissioners to release Mr. Sirhan, a Jordanian citizen who would likely be deported if they did not think he was a threat.
“I do have some love for you,” he told Mr. Sirhan at one point, who nodded and lowered his head, according to the NY Times.
That’s not satire. It is what he said to the man who killed his father, who was a well-respected, extremely popular leader and the father of 11 children.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with Mr. Sirhan in 2017 and said in a letter to the board that the Sheriff’s Department’s letter did not speak for him and that he thought Mr. Sirhan should be released. His son Robert F. Kennedy III attended the hearing but did not address the board.
A majority of Kennedy’s children issued a statement late on Friday opposing Mr. Sirhan’s release, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department had submitted a letter to the board that it said was on behalf of the Kennedy family
In Friday’s statement, six of Kennedy’s nine surviving children said they were “devastated” by the recommendation that Mr. Sirhan will be released.
They had largely avoided engaging in the parole process because of how traumatic their father’s death had been, they said, but felt compelled to denounce the recommendation, which they said caused “enormous additional pain.”
The siblings urged the full parole board or Mr. Newsom to reverse the decision. “It is a recommendation we intend to challenge every step of the way,” they said.
RFK’s Last Words
Juan Romero was only 17 years old when Bobby Kennedy visited the hotel where he worked and the Senator was touring the kitchen when the young man asked for a handshake.
“I remember extending my hand as far as I could, and then I remember him shaking my hand,” Juan told NPR’s Morning Edition. “And as he let go, somebody shot him.
“I kneeled down to him and I could see his lips moving, so I put my ear next to his lips and I heard him say, ‘Is everybody OK?’ I said, ‘Yes, everybody’s OK.’ I put my hand between the cold concrete and his head just to make him comfortable.
“I could feel a steady stream of blood coming through my fingers,” Juan continued. “I remember I had a rosary in my shirt pocket and I took it out, thinking that he would need it a lot more than me.
“I wrapped it around his right hand and then they wheeled him away.”

Conventional thought can be destructive when used by people to pretend that they are conservative and respect the law. The facts of the shooting are easily determined, but certainly never from Faux News.
Go ahead anyone, try to challenge what I write below.
Sirhan did not shoot Kennedy. There is no evidence he did. He was in front, the autopsy showed all 4 hits were from behind. Sirhan hit 4 people behind Kennedy. He fires wildly, his hand was grabbed before his second shot. In the trial, it was stated that all 4 shots came from behind. Sirhan had an 8 shooter, there were 13 bullets fired. RFK was killed point blank with a shot behind his ear, all witnesses said Sirhan was 2 or more feet in front. Multiple witnesses said they saw people behind RFK firing. The part time security guard behind RFK is the shooter. RFK grabbed his tie and pulled it off, signally who hit him. Do you see the tie?
The family has a variety of problems, cannot be taken seriously.
You are exactly right. I always believed Sirhan Sirhan was the fall guy for the assassination just as Oswald was for the JFK assassination. Read the book “Double Cross” by Sam Giancanna’s brother. It details how Joe Kennedy built his fortune by boot legging liquor with the Italian mafia during prohibition. The mafia bankrolled JFK’s run to the presidency and stole two states for him: Illinois and Texas. Both of those states were legitimately carried by Nixon in the 1960 election. Once safely ensconced in office, Jack turned on the mafia to whitewash the Kennedy criminal history and installed Bobby as Attorney General. The mafia was furious and vowed to get JFK, Bobby, AND Marilyn Monroe. She had been intimate with both brothers. They did get them all! The mafia, working with some deep state types that hated Jack, executed all three of them. The security guard that shot Bobby point blank was a replacement that day and worked for the mafia. Other people have claimed that the deep state wanted to help the mafia get Jack because he was going to do a full disclosure on UFOs and the Roswell incident. Others have claimed that he was going to abolish the Federal Reserve and bring back the constitutional gold standard to the dollar. In either event, the mafia found willing partners to carry out their revenge. The Kennedy family fortune was founded on dirty liquor running, gambling, prostitution, and murder. It has all been pretty much white-washed down the memory hole now.
Guess Bobby did not do to badly…nine of his children grew up ‘normal’…
Cuomo commutes the sentence of the Brinks Robbery father of comrade kommissar Chesa the San Fran son of the Weather Underground operative and fellow traveler Gavi does this?
Any doubts about the Weather Underground Government?
Comrade Cuomo commuted the sentence of Judith Clark a few years back, another Weather Underground terrorist.
Another “overlooked” fact is that Sirhan is an icon among the Palentinian radicals whose release and certain return will be cause for celebration where Sirhan will be held up as a model to be emulated by other Palestinians. SIrhan’s release will just bring more death and terror to the world. He should have been executed but at least keep him locked up.
Newsom needs another nail in his political career’s coffin
