Sirhan Sirhan, Assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, Rejected in Latest Bid for Parole
[Times of San Diego] remember him?
Sirhan Sirhan,
...more fully Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, he was born to a Christian family in Jerusalem, is legally a Jordanian citizen following Jordan’s annexation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1950. He murdered RFK because RFK supported of Israel (and possibly because of a race track head injury). His communism is extra. For a while Fatah’s Black September demanded his release every time they took hostages. Some in the family of Aristotle Onassis say Mr. Onassis got him to do it...
who assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, was denied Wednesday in his latest bid for parole during a hearing at the San Diego prison where he is incarcerated.

Sirhan, 78, will be eligible for another parole consideration hearing in three years, according to the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Wednesday’s hearing was held at the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in Otay Mesa.

In 2021, a two-person state parole panel recommended Sirhan be granted parole, but Gov. Gavin Newsom later reversed that decision, saying Sirhan "poses a current threat to public safety."

"After decades in prison, Mr. Sirhan has failed to address the deficiencies that led him to assassinate Senator Kennedy," Newsom said in a statement rejecting the parole grant. "Mr. Sirhan lacks the insight that would prevent him from making the same types of dangerous decisions he made in the past."

The governor wrote that "the most glaring evidence of Mr. Sirhan’s deficient insight is his shifting narrative about his assassination of Senator Kennedy, and his current refusal to accept responsibility for his crimes."

#1 Our government’s continuing self-destruction of its credibility has me starting to wonder about Sirhan’s guilt…

#3 Assuming the Klingons did JFK, the RFK thing was loose end tie up. Sirhan was probably promised an easy out like Oswald, but Jack Ruby Jr. failed to show up.

#5 I believe RFK, Jr., is even for the release of Sirhan Sirhan.

F'ing 78 years old. I say let him out.
