AMBITIONS DELAYED
Sirhan Sirhan—the psycho so nice they named him twice—has been refused parole, even though he already had a new career planned on the outside:
Psychiatric exam results presented to the board indicated Sirhan “hates Americans and, if released, wants to be involved in Middle East politics”.
Hey, the boy isn’t crazy enough. Another few years should do it.
Sirhan Sirhan,
He’s a hell of a guy!
If the battery’s not flat,
You’ll be blown sky high.So, Middle-East politics. Is he thinking of joining a political party, working the neighbourhood, getting out the vote, handing out how-to-vote cards, helping candidates, or perhaps even being one - or was he just thinking of the usual - killing people?
It’s amazing how the media & people in general usually overlook the Palestinian connection in the Kennedy assassination and usually fail to note that this was the first act of Arab/Islamic terror on US soil.
Even more amazing at what gets over looked – Arafat ordering the murder of two kidnapped American (& one Belgian) diplomats in the early 1970’s because the US refused to release Kennedy’s killer.
Should be right as a greens candidate then.

Naw. Just the way to say “Land of the Franks”.

I was struck by how slight a man he was in person. And he was at the ragged edge of total exhaustion. Burly aides had hold of him under each arm and literally were carrying him around (I made a point of watching his feet—they barely touched down on the tarmac). As he greeted people, the guy who had his right would extend that arm and let you take hold and give it a little squeeze. Never again in my life have I seen that level of fatigue—I thought it’s like he’s fading away before our eyes (not to suggest any portent of things to come—the guy was just spent). He had less than 30 hours to live. At least he went out a winner.
I don’t understand why SS is even eligible for parole. Wouldn’t the next step down from the death penalty be life without possibilty of parole?
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 03 16 at 10:05 PM • permalinkThis waste of precious oxygen is a lovely remnant of America’s death penalty “notch” in the 60’s and 70’s. Charles Manson is another. James Earl Ray was another, but he finally, thankfully croaked a while back. Ironically for the anti-death penalty crowd, the victims of these scum were heroes of the Left, MLK, RFK and Polanski’s friends and family.

Where are all those “free Mumia” people when we need them?
Thing is, nobody needs them.

Yet conspiracy theories abound even here.
And talking conspiracy,John Howard was moonlighting as an LA duputy DA in those days. Australian law practises were not paying enough.
