Sirhan Sirhan .. American Revolver Assassin, of Bobby Kennedy?

 - Here comes another one - Just like the other one ..

He was an Arab Palestinian Christian from Jerusalem - belonging sequentially to the Lutherian Church, - Baptist,  - Seventh Day Adventist - and then Rosacrucian Order. Born in March 1944.

Five years after President J F Kennedy was assassinated .. Sirhan Sirhan is said to have shot Presidential Candidate Senator Robert F Kennedy - firing all loaded eight rounds from a revolver.

Ivor-Johnson Cadet 55-A .  8 shot 22" Rim-fire Revolver

RFK was hit three times from the rear .. dying the next day - and five other persons were also wounded as 24 y.o. Sirhan Sirhan emptied his gun - But witness Nina Rhodes-Hughes and audiotape of the shooting both indicate that there was a second shooter and that at least thirteen shots were fired..


 The eight-shot Iver Johnson .22 caliber Cadet 55-A revolver (serial number H-53725, Trial-People's Exhibit #6, was misidentified in trial testimony as S/N H-18602) at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California on June 5, 1968; Bobby Kennedy died the following day at Good Samaritan Hospital. The revolver, as well as the official police files, reports, interviews, ballistics reports, bullet fragments, - and other important evidence related to Kennedy's assassination, is currently housed in the California State Archives in Sacramento.. - However a wooden door frame from the site - said to have bullet holes and to have contained an extra bullet was seemingly removed by authorities.

Security guard Thane Eugene Cesar has frequently been cited as the most likely candidate for a second gunman. - Cesar stated that he did own a .22" caliber Harrington & Richardson pistol, and he showed it to LAPD sergeant P. E. O'Steen on June 24, 1968. - But when the LAPD interviewed Cesar three years later, he claimed that he had sold the gun before the assassination to a man named Jim Yoder - Cesar is recorded as having died years later in the Philippines.

- Sirhan's revolver had been bought second-hand illegally by Sirhan with his brother and he practiced with it on a police range before the shooting. The gun and most other exhibits are retained since 1987 by the California State Archives  .. donated there by the LAPD.

- August 30, 2019, Sirhan Sirhan was stabbed multiple times by another prisoner & subsequently reported by the hospital as 'stable'.

If you like to read fantasies and action stories you could get hours of entertainment from reading all about these intrigues from the sixties - Castro's Cuba and the happenings in Dallas and around The Washington Whitehouse .. with the Soviets pushing-in from the edges.  There are multiple bloodied shooting victims - with as many alternative theories - suggesting other possibilities to the disputed records.
