Sirhan Sirhan ain't going home!

Sirhan Sirhan in 2021.jpg

Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian murderer who assassinated Robert F. Kennedy in 1968—and, also, shot and wounded five other people in the process— is not going home after all. Sirhan was convicted an sentenced to death but escaped execution when California abandoned the death penalty in 1972.

California governor Gavin Newsom, perhaps the most blatantly “woke” leftie Democrat governor presently, overturned the two-person Parole Board decision that would have allowed this killer to go free.

Having followed Newsome’s “equity,” pro-illegal immigration, soft-on-crime antics since he ascended to the governorship in January 2019, I was expecting Sirhan to finally go home in the name of “antiracism,” “Palestinian freedom,” “racial justice,” etc., etc., and become the old guru of every pro-terrorism leftie grouping in the book, but, thankfully, I was wrong.

I am not a fan of the Kennedys, either individually or as a not-exactly sterling ethical group, which always tiptoed along a tricky, and often unscrupulous, line blazed by pater famiglia Patrick Joseph “P. J.” Kennedy. That being said I was shocked by the assassination of both John and Robert that happened not in some boondock, disaster-zone, backwater country but in the United States of America.

Let Shirhan be the example of how to treat the likes of him—short of dispatching them as part of justified “targeted resolutions.”

Robert F. Kennedy Assassin Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday overruled the recommendation of the California Board of Parole Hearings’ to release  77-year-old Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

Newsom wrote in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times that Sirhan had not “developed the accountability and insight required to support his safe release into the community."

The decision came following five months of deliberation by the governor, who said he idolized Kennedy and keeps a photo of Kennedy with his late father, Judge William Newsom, on his desk, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Six of Kennedy’s nine surviving children urged Newsom to reverse the board’s decision, saying in a joint statement that the board had “inflicted enormous additional pain” on them.
