Bobby Kennedy’s son thinks he was killed by a second shooter. Is there anything to it?
The Boston Globe ^ | 5/31/2018 | Nik DeCosta-Klipa

Conspiracies surrounding President John F. Kennedy’s death may be most widely circulated. However, one theory questioning our understanding of Robert F. Kennedy’s murder in 1968 has arguably gained more recent traction, including from those closest to the assassination and even one immediate member of Kennedy’s family.

According to the Post, Kennedy’s second oldest son now believes, after months of research, that his father was killed by a second gunman.

“What Bobby Kennedy Jr. has done, he’s launched a whole new generation of conspiracy nuts who are going to believe that Sirhan didn’t do it and that somebody else did,” he said.

"But there are reports that there were more shots fired, than Sirhan’s revolver held."

There is no proof of more than eight shots.

How many shots were fired by Sirhan and how many by panicked bodyguards?

It was RFK who withheld U.S. air support from the Cuban rebels at Bay of Pigs, even though they had been promised it.

Which strengthened the Castro regime and eliminated many of his enemies. The Kennedys never anticipated that one year later the Soviets would send missiles to Cuba.

Always give commies the benefit of the doubt seemed to be their m.o.

Sirhan had a six shooter but he was grabbed by Rosie. No other shots where reported fired by anyone. Key word reported.

I don’t get my information from this report. Take your blinders off and look. If you believe official reports, you are a fool.

A bigger mystery is why Bob and Ted are buried in Arlington.

If your information source says there were 10 bullets recovered then it's wrong.

It's not a matter of choosing to believe official reports. It's just as nutty to decide in advance not to believe an official report as it is to believe it. That's not how a rational person should work. But if you are believing conspiracy nuts then you are a bigger fool.

I just wish someone would take out the larger-than-life likenesses of “Teddy” Kennedy in the Logan Airport rentacar center.

Bazooka, napalm, or simple flat black spray paint would work on this overdue urban renewal project, and maybe I could then walk through there without making a puke mess for the overworked janitors to clean up.

“in 1945 there was Joe Jr K who was gonna be POTUS after the war...he disappeared over the English Channel”

He didn’t really disappear, he was onboard a plane loaded with explosives that detonated prematurely, and it was over the eastern coast of England, not over the channel. The whole thing was witnessed by accompanying planes and the wreckage was recovered.

“The police dug out 10 bullets from the area of the shooting.”

Not true. A conspiracy theorist came up with the “10 bullet” speculation, but police only recovered seven bullets.

Sirhan’s gun was an eight shot gun, actually.

Right, the only non-foolish thing to do is believe unconfirmable speculations posted by random people on the internet.

Thane Eugene Ceasar killed Robert F. Kennedy. He was the bodyguard on RFK’s right-hand side escorting Kennedy through the pantry. This has been known since it occurred and your government has done nothing but distroy evidence and cover it up.

LOL, its on film, its like saying Ruby didn’t shoot Oswald. Fear not if he’s a nut case they will elect him to office, he carries the Kennedy brand for Myth and Hype.

If so then release Sirhan like Hinkley who shot Reagan was released by liberals.

There were theories years ago that the shooter was a woman in a polka dot dress.
