The California parole board has voted that he should be released. He should never never get out of prison!

Just saw that on the news. The report said that two of Robert Kennedy's kids supported the release.

@Greeneyedlady21 I saw that. IMO one of them has always been a bit nutty.

From CNN

Two of Kennedy's surviving sons, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Douglas Kennedy offered their support for parole during Sirhan's 16th appearance before the parole board Friday.

"I'm overwhelmed just by being able to view Mr. Sirhan face to face. I think I've lived my life both in fear of him and his name in one way or another. And I am grateful today to see him as a human being worthy of compassion and love," said Douglas Kennedy, acknowledging the great responsibility on the shoulders of the parole board.

I certainly do not agree with that, Robert Kennedy's sons are more forgiving than I. It was a traumatic time for this country and this murderer should remain in jail. Just my opinion.

He should NOT BE GETTING OUT ON PAROLE, ever. Will he be deported?

I wonder how Ethel feels about his release !

He's 77 and has been in jail for 53 years.

Not that my opinion matters, but I agree with the sons .

Those of us who were alive in June of 1968 remember the scene of Robert Kennedy lying on the floor of the hotel kitchen after being shot in the head by Sirhan Sirhan. I was 18 years old and having lived through the assassination of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. it felt like our world was crashing down around us. I think Senator Kennedy's children are dishonoring their father's memory. This man should live out his days in prison.

I saw it on the news & was in shock. Sirhan should spend the rest of his life in prison. These conspiracy theories are a bunch of cr**p. I think his sons are off base . I wonder what Ethel thinks.

First Scott Peterson, then Sirhan Sirhan. Where is Lady Justice when you need her?

I admired RFK, and it hurts to think of his loss.

But if Sirhan had killed anyone else he would have been out long ago.

I watched him murder Bobby Kennedy. Keep him in jail. That's where he belongs. No matter what I know where he's going once he dies.

I think you make a valid point and suggested as much earlier.

IF he shows remorse for what he's done, I think it's time for him to be paroled. Some people do change. Whether or not he's one, I can't say as I haven't spoken to him.

Who in their right mind grants parole to an assassin?????

Another prime example of our broken legal system. Does anyone actually think this murderer is sorry he killed RFK in cold blood????

A big deal is made out of prisoners asking for parole who were involved in notable crimes, but every day, others get paroled with no public opposition or notice at all.

a great many were released from prison early, due to covid. A good number of those have already committed other crimes, too. A double murder, close to where I live.
