    Lot of interesting conspiracy theories surround RFK's assassination.

    A Second Shooter: The shot that killed Kennedy was fired from right behind him...within an inch away. Sirhan was not directly behind him and further away...much further than an inch.

    Bullets Didn't Match: The three bullets pulled from Kennedy supposedly didn't match Sirhans gun.

    Too Many Bullets: Sirhan only had up to 8 bullets in his gun. It seems more than that we're fired. Doors and ceiling tiles containing the bullets were removed and destroyed by police.

    Other Evidence Destroyed: A boy was taking pictures when the assassination happened. His photos were confiscated and destroyed by police.

    Mind Control: It has been surmised by a psychologist who visited Sirhan in prison, found that despite hypnotizing Sirhan, Sirhan had no memory of the assassination. Was he programmed to carry out the assassination?

    The Woman in the Polka Dotted Dress: Several witnesses recall a woman in a poker dotted dress running from the hotel yelling, "We shot him, We shot Kennedy" or something of the sort.

    The Butler...Err Security Guard Did it: Thane Ceaser was a security guard assigned to protect Kennedy. He pulled his gun but said he was knocked down. He lied about owning a .22 the make that killed Kennedy. He then claimed he had owned a .22 but sold it months before the assasibation. A receipt however shows he sold it after the assassination.

    CIA: Well duh...they are thought to have been part of the conspiracy to kill RFK's brother JFK, so why not him too.

    Why did the shadow government hate the Kennedy's so much?

    JFK wanted to close down the CIA. He wanted to get rid of the federal reserve and go back to the gold standard. He refused to sign off on taking Cuba at all costs(including taking out an American airliner and blaming it on Cuba to give more reason to go to war with them), and was blamed for the failure of the bay of pigs invasion because he pulled air support. He wanted to get out of Virtnsm which pissed off Military contractors who were making bank. He was a big supporter for civil rights and a champion of the blue collar and lower class. He was against the mob who was highly connected. LBJ wanted to be president badly.

    When RFK ran in 1968, they knew he would win and we carry much the same sentiments as his brother. They went through all of that to take out JFK. Not mention had RFK become president he would have had his brothers assassination mercilessly investigated until he uncovered the truth.

    Sirhan is still a citizen of Lebanon so he will most likely be deported on release.

    The VP of the Company I retired from, brother, was Nigel Hamilton, British author who wrote about JFK. There were numerous occasions I talked with Nigel's bro about the Kennedy assassination and I'll just say, the Mob and LBJ?

    If you watch when LBJ gets sworn in, he winks and turns to I forget who, and says, "we did it."

    Good economics. Older he gets, more likely to have health problems. Release him and taxpayers don't get the bill.

    They didn't belong to their club nor did the Kennedys satisfy the mob.

    Maybe. Not sure he is going to be gainfully employed when he gets out? Maybe he'll make money selling his story to the movies, though?
