No Wonder They Shot Him



A man like this is too dangerous to live.

Who is "they?" AFAIK, Sirhan Sirhan acted alone out of animosity for RFK supporting Israel in the 6-day war in 1967.

Maybe so, but let's not get distracted from the message.

The message is terrific, but had nothing to do with his death as implied by the OP.

Perhaps.

Perhaps Oswald acted alone.

Perhaps James Earl Ray did too.

Or perhaps not.

Perhaps JFK was killed because he planned to end our involvement in Vietnam.

Perhaps RFK and MLK were killed because they too opposed the war.

Or perhaps not.

OTOH, I do believe in the possibility of conspiracies in the JFK and MLK murders, particularly MLK. After having spent a half-day recently at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis (highly recommended, BTW), it was difficult coming to another conclusion.

The question regarding Sirhan Sirhan isn't whether he shot RFK but whether he was self-actualized. I think the identity of those responsible for the assassinations of JRK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X is very much an open question.

One thing is for certain and that is that they all said and proposed things the MIC didn't want said or proposed.

And then there's J. Edgar Hoover.

For instance, on the misfortunes of refugees, be they escaping political persecution, economic privation or conflict.

Particularly when our nation's actions (and subsequent inaction) were a proximate cause for the refugee crisis.
