California governor mulls RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan parole

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California's governor must soon decide whether to free one of America's most notorious assassins, a decision he has said evokes one of the darkest periods in the nation's history.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has until sometime next month to allow or block the parole recommendation for Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan.

The recommendation by a two-person panel of parole commissioners in August split the iconic Kennedy family more than a half-century after the 1968 slaying of the U.S. senator from New York moments after he claimed victory in California’s pivotal Democratic presidential primary.

More than that, it tore open decades-old wounds lingering from the murders of RFK and his brother, President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.

3. I hope Newsom blocks this parole, and if he doesn't, if another Democrat challenges him for

Governor should he decide to run, I will be looking very closely at supporting that Democratic challenger

4. Hey, Governor Newsom!

If you parole Sirhan, your career will be over.

Is that your plan? If so, please proceed, Governor.

Please think carefully about this decision.

5. Absolutely not! This was a pivotal moment in history...

Only God knows where things would be today had RFK gone on to live. I have to believe things would have turned out better than where we are today.

So he can go to CPAC with Kyle Rittenhouse and be celebrated for killing Democrats?
