Newsom denies parole of RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has blocked the release from prison of Robert Kennedy's assassin Sirhan Sirhan, whose fatal shots half a century ago rocked America and redirected history.
The Democratic governor said he had determined that Sirhan posed too great a threat to public safety, citing Sirhan's declining to accept responsibility for the crime or to renounce violence.
“Mr. Sirhan’s assassination of Senator Kennedy is among the most notorious crimes in American history,” Newsom said in a statement. “After decades in prison, he has failed to address the deficiencies that led him to assassinate Senator Kennedy. Mr. Sirhan lacks the insight that would prevent him from making the same types of dangerous decisions he made in the past.”
A parole panel last year recommended Sirhan's liberation, more than half a century after he shot down Kennedy in Los Angeles during the Democrat's presidential campaign in 1968. While parole board members pointed to Sirhan's self-improvement and new laws that required them to consider his current health and his youth at the time of the crime, the decision was ultimately in Newsom's hands.
quote:
A parole panel’s recommendation last year that Sirhan be released after decades in prison split both the public and the Kennedy family. Two of Kennedy’s children backed Sirhan’s freedom while his wife and other former children strenuously opposed it.
“Our family and our country suffered an unspeakable loss due to the inhumanity of one man,” his widow Ethel Kennedy said last year. “We believe in the gentleness that spared his life, but in taming his act of violence, he should not have the opportunity to terrorize again.”

Funny how the Kennedy family split only comes out later when it was initially reported they supported his release.

What, they aren’t RFK’s kids anymore?
These so-called journalists today appeared to have skipped out on any composition classes they were supposed to take.

It would be pretty impossible to recreate the situation that brought him to the decision to off RFK.

Well. I actually agree with something Newsome did. Mark it on the calendar.

Thar's about the only correct thing Newsome has ever done.

Never trust a person with the same two names.
Sirhan Sirhan, James James, Joe Joseph, John Johns. They're all shady.

Why is he even still upright and sucking air?

Honestly with his brother's killing being such a conspiracy I wouldn't doubt that they set this guy up to be the fall guy like they did with Lee Harvey Oswald.

How does one have former children?

If Sirhan had shot any decent human he would have been out 30 years ago.
He shot one of the corrupt Kennedys and is still incarcerated.

His death sentence was changed to life in prison after the California Supreme Court outlawed the use of capital punishment in 1972. The same reason why Charles Manson wasn't executed.
