Now that’s positively shocking!

I mean, a .22 revolver? It would have fired, what, .22 long rifle ammo? That piddly little rimfire stuff? Geez! That kind of ammo has less stopping power than a kid with a slingshot!

I mean, if you’re gonna assassinate somebody with a revolver, use a real one, at least a .357 Magnum if not a .44 Magnum. Ya ask me, Sirhan got lucky.

The truth, as always, is more complicated than that.

Uh, Banks, if you want this to be a Great Debate, you usually need to do more than just say, “read this page.” Do you have a viewpoint on it? If so, what is it? If you want to start a debate, start a debate.

Tracer…

not to debate who killed who, but the .22 caliber round is used by the Isreali Mossad.

Mostly for assasinations. It’s two main advantages are that it can be silenced, (doesn’t look applicable here) and the it does have a high velocity.

More people die from .22 caliber ammunition every year in America than any other type.

That being said, if I HAD to get shot, I would prefer it be a .22.

Sorry Dave…

Well it appears that Sirhan shot from the front on a level plane.

Yet according to the evidence posted on the page he was shot from behind at an upward angle.

How can these facts jibe?

Is there a conspiracy here?

Does Oliver Stone know about this?

And so, having disposed of the monster . . .

There’s no conspiracy. Sirhan was the shooter.

Ballistics is far from an exact science when it involves a small bore bullet plowing into tissue and bone.

As for eyewitness testimony regarding a shooting in an enclosed place: sketchy and contradictory at best.

When Sirhan was subdued, he had a gun in his hand.
It was proven that this gun killed RFK and it was proven that Sirhan’s hand pulled the trigger.

Now, if you want to talk about JFK…

A seminar on time travel will be held two weeks ago.

Actually, I’m reminded of the old National Lampoon letter to the editor wherein the author went on and on about the fact that presidential assassins always had three names, John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, etc. Then, at the end, you see that it was written by Sirhan Sirhan.
