Robert Francis Kennedy: The Tragic Assassination

[weinmanjoe]

PRESIDENT of the United States we never had

[BeatleJBNBBJFKfan]

I not too sure but if i rember correctly at 3:38 those comments had nothing to do with african-american rioting it was in California and it had to with Mexican farmers ( i think) that were arrest and Bobby told the officer who arrested them He should read the Constitution because the officer said the people looked as if they were about to break the law .... AGAIN I COULD BE WRONG

[ChrisDutch]

A couple of things. Kennedy was NOT scheduled to walk through the service corridor. He was scheduled to go to the main ballroom for a press conference. this is why he's seen walking to the left and then suddenly being directed to go the right toward the service corridor. This does require a little research as who changed his route and why.

wasn't Sirhan

[Noelbluesky]

thank you

[4JayeP]

His loss set the United States back 50 years. WHY SIRHAN, WHY !!!!!!!????????

[robbins1980]

I dont think it was Sirhan

[stewban007]

Who shot RFK and why?

[johndavidcooney]

its debatable, sirhan sirhan a Pakistani was the won caught with the gun in his hand but i guess you could say he was a puppet to the cia or the mafia, depends if u believe in conspiracy theories i guess!

[swami1]

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was a Palestinian who hated Kennedy for his (Kennedy's) strong support of Israel. Sirhan shot Kennedy on June 4th, 1968--the one year anniversary of the beginning of the 6 Day War.

Simple as that. No conspiracies.

[RosesAndThorns91]

Nothing is ever as simple as that. If it were, why would we be mired in two wars in the Middle East with no end in sight? Sirhan was standing in front of Kennedy, yet the shot that killed him was fired from behind and to the right. Why have a number of CIA agents been identified in the crowd at the Sheraton Los Angeles that night? What were CIA operatives doing at a Democratic presidential rally? When questioned, Sirhan had no memory of the killing. He never confessed to the killing.

a  beautiful man shot by a coward

[purplegrandma]

For those of us who love RFK and miss him to this day, there are a few but important inaccurate statements in your video.

Sirhan Sirhan could not have fired the fatal shot as it was made from approx. 2" from RFK's head. I am not a conspiracy 'nut' but one who does investigate something that strains credibility. Do your own investigating. Nonetheless, thank you for the post and for taking time to devote to this man. There will never be another like him. Obama's a good man, but he's no RFK. RIP.

[skaterride2]

your right i have started my own investigation nad have found weird info

[Janine4t]

I am 49. I remember those days, those moments. I was only miles from there. You did well. RFK had a purpose. We all lost. His brother was President, but Bobby had a vision. I am so sorry we didn't get to see how this would turn out. Sirhan should never be alowed freedom in his lifetime. He changed history. He was attending the Junior College of my youth when he changed history. Now, Bobby's niece is FIRST lady. Although he was HUMAN (as am I) he had a desire to make AMERICA better.

RFK was Great. If he had won 1968....................Your Lovely "Country" would be better NOW

[2HOOD4IT]

No he had a chance to win what are you talking about please,the documentry was wonerful and Robert F Kennedy was a good man.

Barack Obama reminds me so much of him the time for change is now.

[captainkavern]

sorry but I spotted a lot of innacurate statements in your documetary.

1-even if Johnson and Kennedy hated each other, Kennedy was not the first to oppose the Johnson Policy in vietnam.

The first to do so was Eugene Mc Carthy.

Kennedy announced is candidacy rather late and did not have the support of the delegates of the Party.

Vice president Humphrey did.

By the time he was killed Kennedy was far behind him. And his chances to win the nomination were remote...

[a1cjlock]

Kennedy had many obstacles to overcome if he wanted to win his party's nomination.

-A President that hated him(Johnson)

-An establishment candidate who supports the war(Humphrey)

-A fully vetted candidate that shared his same views on Vietnam(McCarthy)

-A convention which was in control of a tight Johnson supporter(Dailey)

-And when he finally decided to run. (Time)

Although very popular and had wide support, Kennedy's chances of being the nominee or President were slim, but not impossible.

[yot5000]

You are Wrong, JFK the 35th President took over from Dwight David Eisenhiwer, the 34th President, HEwas up to his head in Vietnam..

[captainkavern]

We are talking about the nomination not the general election.

And John Kennedy did not run against Eisenhower but against Nixon

[luvdbeatles]

So sad i know he would be a great presidebt like his big brother

[hxydoudou]

i like bobby more than jack.i don't know why but i just like bobby.

[snowdragontights]

How far did your documentary go in the competition?

[Flare58]

It was shown at state (Delaware) and didn't place, but it did win a special award from the League of Women Voters.
