For one thing Sirhan Sirhan has confessed to killing Kennedy as well, so a single statement by him saying he didn't is pretty much worthless. But that is what cherry picking facts to fit the fantasy is all about, isn't it Fidel?

His then lawyer had just finished representing Johnny Roselli, the CIA's contact with the mob then. One way of having your patsy found guilty is to have your own paid-off people represent the patsy. I don't know why Sirhan might have been convinced to confess to something he didn't do. One thing's for sure now, though, and it's that he swears he didn't kill RFK.

Do you understand the difference between "not killing" and "not shooting"? As I have pointed out repeatedly no one but Fidel from Rabble actually thinks that all the witnessess were wrong and that Sirhan Sirhan was not in the Ambassador Hotel shooting at Robert F. Kennedy, and trying to kill him.

Except that the local LA cops destroyed a lot of evidence. And there is now reasonable amount of evidence to doubt that Sirhan Sirhan killed anybody at the Ambassador Hotel. Various investigators have suggested Sirhan's account of what happened points to evidence that he was a Manchurian candidate for the CIA - that he was duped, drugged, and fitted up for the assassination of a politician they wanted taking out. There is just as much or more evidence that Cesar shot RFK, or that three known CIA operatives there that day had something to do with it. E. Howard Hunt, the face of evil for the US CIA's black ops all those years, did name Morales as one of JFK's assassins. JFK was Bobby's brother. Both were murdered as well as MLK Jr during the decade of assassinations in America.

How much do you think they paid John Pilger to lie about seeing Sirhan Sirhan getting up and shooting a Kennedy, with his very own eyes?

  Is there somewhere one can sign up to get paid to participate in these types of CIA fake outs?  It appears that they must have tons of cash to throw around considering the numbers that would have to paid off.   Things are a bit tight right now and I could use some extra.

 I wonder what the going pay rate is nowadays?

You like Pilger, do you?

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ27B4bSqEw&feature=player_embedded]Pilger talks to Amy Goodman 40 years later[/url]

Pilger says there is no question that there were other assassins shooting after Sirhan Sirhan was wrestled to the ground.

Yes he had a pistol with him. Lots of Americans carry pistols, then and even moreso today. Sirhan has repeatedly said that he does not remember what happened that night. He was drugged. He was fitted up.

Sirhan Sirhan was a patsy, a "Manchurian candidate" for the actual killers. And they've murdered people before. It's what they do.

Tip for the wise: Never drink alone, and especially not while an innocent bystander in America.

No. Pilger said that he saw Sirhan Sirhan fire his gun at Kennedy, and then he saw Kennedy go down.

After that he said he heard other shots.

There is no indication that Sirhan Sirhan was just "innocently" carrying around a gun. In fact, no one in the whole world, even those who trenchantly advocate for the second shooter theory, including all of the eyewitnessess,  including Sirhan Sirhan's last lawyer (who incidentally was the one who argued that Sirhan was drugged and hypnotized and therefore not guilty) and including every single person you have referred  to in support of what you are saying suggests that Sirhan Sirhan was not taking shots at Robert F. Kennedy with a 22 caliber pistol.

You made that up.

Just you.

You are the only one.

Fidel from Rabble.

How much do you think the CIA payed Pilger and everyone else who has taken an interest in the case to lie about Sirhan Sirhan shooting at Kennedy?

Lone nut, obsessed with conspiracy theories, loves guns and  american history.

No he said Sirhan fired, -Pilger pauses- "Kennedy fell", and Sirhan Sirhan was wrestled to the ground. And then Pilger says there were other shots fired. A person standing next to Pilger was wounded by bullets fired from a gun by someone other than Sirhan Sirhan.

Cueball wrote:

You mean like Pilger, an investigative news journalist for the left who was there and saw it with his own eyes. Yes, he said there is no question that there was at least one other assassin perhaps more. And the 13 shots heard in audio clips of the event are additional evidence that Sirhan Sirhan was not the only person who fired a gun in the pantry.

And really, the fact that there was another gun involved supports the coroner's autopsy evidence that RFK was not actually shot by anyone standing in front of him and namely Sirhan Sirhan. The autopsy evidence points to RFK being shot from someone behind him and from an upward angle at the time.

Actual forensics of the investigation combined with Pilger's and Sirhan's Sirhan's testimonies do not support your version or the Keystone cop L.A.P.D.s version of events.

Conclusion?:

I'd rather believe the coroner, Pilger, modern day researchers into the event, Sirhan's lawyer of today, and even Sirhan Sirhan at face value than what you're claiming here. And to summarize your version of events, all you're claiming is that Sirhan Sirhan fired his gun. None of you, nor I nor Pilger have claimed that Sirhan Sirhan actually shot Kennedy to death.

So far you've barely summarized the very weak case presented by the LAPD in 1968, and that's all. So far very few babblers would vote to convict Sirhan Sirhan of having murdered RFK. I could not as I have reasonable doubt that Sirhan was a lone gunman, and I highly doubt that shots fired from his gun killed RFK. We might convict him of mishandling a weapon or even a lesser charge but not first degree murder deserving a life sentence.

Which of the shooter(s) in the hotel pantry are you talking about?  There were more than one according to Pilger and other eye witnesses. That means that now we are not talking about a "lone gunman." Now there are at least two gunman, and that's a conspiracy.

And according to some witnesses, Manuel Pena(CIA special ops) appointed to the SUS badgered witnesses who did not support the LAPD's account of what happened. Why would he do that if the LAPD's case against Sirhan is as solid as they themselves claimed it was?

The one you said didn't try and kill Kennedy even though Pilger testifies that he pointed his gun at Kennedy and fired. But of course these conspiracy Wizards are so good, the fact that everyone agrees that Sirhan Sirhan was shooting his gun off in the presence of Robert Kennedy proves that he was not actually shooting his gun at Kennedy or trying to kill him, and instead just engaging in some over exuberant and incorrectly timed July 4th celebration with no ill will intended to anyone at all.

If there is a smoking gun the answer must lie elsewhere because "absence of evidence is evidence" that Fidel from Rabble can make up anything he wants. And of course the natural conclusion to be deduced from the lack of evidence, that is evidence, is that even more lack of evidence in the case of the Gifford attack proves that Jared Lee must be innocent, since of course everyone says he was the shooter, and anythign that conclusive must be a lie, since it doesn't give Fidel from Rabble the opportunity to make up whatever story suits his fancy.

Sirhan Sirhan is innocent so therefore, Jared Lee must also be innocent, since both were seen with guns shooting people, more or less. I understand now.

Yes, I have.

Have you ever seen the film, Twelve Angry Men with Henry Fonda and Lee J. Cobb? Spoiler alert! It was about not lynching someone for something they didn't do based on a lot of circumstantial evidence that didn't add up to a verdict of guilty without a doubt. Cobb did a really good job of playing the uninterested, angry juror who found it too hot in jurors' deliberation room and just wanted go home. Afterall, they were only deciding the fate of a person accused of murder. It looked like an open and shut case from the beginning.

Fidel

I would not want either of you two on a jury deciding my fate in a murder trial. That's for sure.

Brian White

There is no certainty in this world.  Lots of countries don't even have Jurys. They found that 12 angry men  make mistakes much too often so they abolished Jurys. 

Gender has a major part to play.  Statistically, Male jurors convict more in rape trials than do women jurors.

Fidel, what makes you think I was refering to you?

Well they do in the states, and especially in US states where the death penalty is punishment for verdicts of guilty in murder trials and where the jury finds aggravating circumstance to warrant it.

I honestly can't say whether Sirhan Sirhan was part of the conspiracy to murder RFK or not. But I do have considerable doubt that he actually killed RFK. I would have to vote to acquit.

He confessed while in police custody. The judge disallowed the confession and denied Sirhan's request to withdraw his not guilty plea so that he could plead guilty. Sirhan later recanted his confession. He's denied shooting RFK for over 40 years. Lots of people including lawyers think he's not guilty. There are a number of good reasons to believe that RFK was shot to death by someone other than Sirhan Sirhan.

Crime statistics say that one in every seven people on death row in America is innocent.

This is your logic not mine. I don't know if Jared Lee acted alone or not. You say there were shots fired and at least 18 people were hit. I don't doubt that Jared Lee was there and appeared to be firing a gun at people. He probably did it in all likelihood. Am I ready to convict him of murder without seeing or hearing any evidence other than what's in newzpapers and on the boob tube? No, I am not.

Indeed, 99% of all AK-47 used in throughout Asia almost certainly started out life as weapons sold through legitimate means to state authorities, same with those weapons in the hands of the South American drug cartels. I doubt anyone actually bothers making an Ak-47 in Warizistan, since you can pick one up for less than $300 dollars, less than half the cost of used Fender Stratocaster.

Waziristani knockoffs make their way as far South as Sri Lanka. But, again, that's beside the point. At issue is the fact that guns, even more than recreational drugs, are easy to make--anytime, anywhere. And AK-47s, Sig P228 copies, etc. are still cranked out by the thousands by firms like Norinco in China and smuggled in everywhere with imputiny, including the U.S. AK-47s are absolutely illegal (even semi-auto versions) in Canada, and Norinco products have been under an ATF import ban for years in the States, yet they keep finding their way into gangbangers' grubby mitts.

At the end of the day the only solution is for a serious international effort to reduce the production and sale of weapons for the sake of all of us who don't want to have to lug a handgun around everytime we want to make a trip to the local grocery store.

This Cukieresque fantasy belongs in the Kumbaya pile, along with John Lennon's 'Imagine.' If you can't get Iran to shut down its credit card number skimming exchanges, stop the Cayman Islands from accepting cocaine dealers' bank deposits, or stop those clearcut teak loggimg operations in Burma, you aren't going to get countries like China, or Russia to shutter their weapons factories. You might as well beg North Korea to halt its nuke program and, you know, hold elections.

Again, the criminal element happilly steps into voids left by legitimate business. A CNG operation in someone's garage can grind out dozens of Sig P228 copies in a day. Expand this to the scale of, say, a chop-shop, and you've got a real supply. And controlling the precursors is way harder than with drugs: you'd have to screen and register every piece of flatbar, every pound of lead...you get the idea. And arms producers have absolutely no qualms about selling their products to anybody with the cash, any more than they do about selling drugs. Forget trying to stop random crazies like Loughners, Gharbis, or Gills from getting ahold of weapons, any more than drug dealers and terrorists.

And this "we have to limit free speech" stuff is getting tired. This wacko claimed he was inspired by Karl Marx--an author who one can assume appears on the bookshelves of at least a few people in this group. Should we censor Marx? The Communist Manifesto is violently inflammatory material if there ever was such a thing. There have been threads on Rabble, uncensored by moderators, which have advocated violent revolution. This is not only 'inflammatory,' but also completely illegal:

http://eyecrazy.blogspot.com/2010/11/idiots-at-rabbleca-contemplate-whet...

You can bet the RCMP, Rabble's ISP, etc. have been notified, if conservative bloggers have taken notice. This is actually serious enough that charges could get laid, and ISP records subpoenaed. When I read that, I was amazed the Rabble moderators let stuff like that be posted.

Some Democrats and the media, along with Sheriff Dupnik, are trying to score cheap political points, by painting this as some sort of attack on Democratic healthcare policies, or whatever. Actually, the crux of opposition to Obamacare is that purchasing insurance will be mandatory...and if I had to buy a useless private insurance policy under penalty of law, I'd be pretty upset, too. But this isn't likely what motivated the shooter, who it seemed was deeply concerned with subliminal messages on dollar bills, or something. Loughner was a random nut, nothing more. In light of this tragedy, it's really pretty tacky to try to score points, here. And while Dupnik bleats about how "bigoted" the rest of his fellow Arizonians are, Mexican gangsters are regularilly shooting up people over drug deals and human trafficking in the state. This is one of the serious gripes Arizona residents have with the Obama administration, and the rationale for SB 1070.

fencedin your China bashing, xenophobia in general and reds under your bed rhetoric is typical of what's wrong in America. The crazies are the ones running things into the ground. Jared Lee Loughner was a product of a sick society. And America is sick because there's profit in that, too.

First, alan smithee, this..

Quote:

is against babble policy. Say shit like this again and you will  be given a vacation from babble. First and last warning.

Second. THREAD DRIFT. Try to stay on topic next time, willya?

Third, Brian, your post #108 is baiting. Stop it.

Fourth, Fidel, the "angriest juror #8" bullshit is not okay. You also seem a tad overwrought these days and need to dial it back. Stop getting personal.

And others who enjoy baiting Fidel, cut it the hell out. You know who you are.

fencedin, you're gone.

Finally, I'm deeply concerned with the casual use of language such as "nutbar" and "crazy". I'm going to pop into the new thread to express that particular concern. Such language, depicting someone who may or may not have mental health issues, is not okay on babble.
