Sirhan Sirhan may be released tomorrow

[Richard Smith]

You two countries seem to have an hugely inflated opinion of yourselves and correspondingly low opinion of the rest of the world.

Ah, Trudeau hasn't worn blackface since Donald Trump put away his Klan outfit. BTW, Election Day is Monday, September 20th. Blackface and residential schools don't seem to be a campaign issue. You must be jealous, that a true democracy has a diversity of parties, is mature to the point of fairly-assessing and forgiving youthful indiscretions, and function for the People, not just the One Percent.

Canada among the top ten most peaceful countries; the US ranks 121st. Metric system, renewable energy, bilingualism. Must drive you radicalized fascist reactionaries crazy.

Canada's "ethnic cleansing"? Ever hear tell of glass houses? 

Trump had a "Klan outfit"?  What kind of outlandish lie is that?  You are some type of loon.  The metric system?  HA HA HA.  Are the indigenous people still burning the churches in Canada due to its peaceful nature?   All this nonsense to vent your anti-American and anti-Semitic views.

One of the detectives who came out of retirement to help with the LAPD’s investigation of RFK’s murder was a CIA spook. Dan Pena, the son of Manny Pena, talks about his dad in the video below:

Enrique Hernandez who worked on the case, is also alleged to have had ties to the CIA.

Both men spent time working for the US in Latin America aside from their jobs in the LAPD.

The CIA/Intelligence links could just be coincidental.

I find the forensic evidence in RFK’s case to be enough to conclude that there was more than one shooter.

Sirhan was apprehended at the scene with the smoking gun literally in his hand.  He did it.  He is a self-confessed terrorist.  Even if you want to believe others were involved, it makes no difference as to his guilt and motivation.

If he was under hypnosis or drugged and there was a second gunman, he’s innocent.

And there’s evidence suggesting that he was not lucid at the time when he was arrested.

Huh?  He was arrested at the scene with a smoking gun.  I'm not sure what not being "lucid" has to do with this.  He claimed that he was drunk.  So what?  If you think Sirhan was under some type of CIA Manchurian Candidate mind control, that is far out stuff.  Do you think anyone in their right frame of mind shoots a US Senator running for president?

[Richard Smith]

I wonder if the governor will make a decision before his recall election in September. And how this might or might not affect his chances of staying in office. Some say that the recall election is going to be close. I think all this was orchestrated in the name of politics. I believe that the LA district attorney should have done his job and been represented at the parole hearing as against parole (as has been done in the previous 15 hearings). The whole thing is ridiculous and reeks of partisan politics.

Gascon was kicked out of SF for being too liberal.  That should tell you something.  Crime in that city increased 50% while he was there.  He is an empty the prisons socialist.  Relying on Newsom to do the right thing is an act of desperation.

Sirhan was never behind Kennedy but Kennedy was shot from behind.

The fact that he was arrested on the scene with a gun doesn’t prove others weren’t involved.

One of the men he shot, Paul Schrade, believes it was a conspiracy and lobbied for Sirhan’s parole…

RFK turned away when he saw Sirhan pointing the gun at him. There is no credible proof of a second shooter.  None.  But even if you believed that, Sirhan was an assassin.  A second shooter would not absolve him of that guilt.

I agree that the governor will most likely want to set him free. But I wonder if he will be recalled before he gets around to it. If he proceeds to set him free before the recall vote, will it tend to “add fuel to the fire” of the recall movement? I usually stay away from politics, but I firmly believe that politics is the motivation behind the LA DA’s ridiculous decision to not oppose the parole.
