The real Bobby Kennedy quote: Every time we turn our head

[1monster]

“Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.”
― Robert F. Kennedy

1. Bobby was a true Attorney General, not like the as*-kisser holding the office today.

[Dave Bowman]

2. He must be spinning in his grave...

[mobeau69]

5. He sure as hell would read Jr. the riot act!

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. If his father had lived

I wonder if he would've turned out differently. 🤔

[mobeau69]

12. I would guess he would have.

[GiqueCee]

24. Junior is...

... a self-centered creep too weak of character to even try to carry on his father's legacy, so he shits on it every chance he gets.
Where's a hungry brainworm when you need one?

[maspaha]

8. Wonder what he'd think about jr 🤔

[sop]

3. Jr's apple did fall far from the tree.

6. What the hell happened to him, anyway??

[Botany]

9. What the hell happened to him, anyway??

Drugs …. he liked his heroin …. Mental illness….. dad getting shot.

[ailsagirl]

21. And now he's trailing after cheato

[DENVERPOPS]

20. I suspect one of two things.........

when he was born, the OB-GYN dropped him on the floor, head first......

Or Bobbies wife was playing around with someone from a mental institution for the criminally insane......

4. My personal pics of RFK campaigning in my hometown of Auburn, NY, 1964

Taken by my sister (it was the year before I was born).

7. I still cry when I hear a recording of Bobby speaking.

27. I rarely forget so June 5th - june ?8 almost always has some sadness about it...

A friend and I stood on line in the heat for 5 hrs or so to pay our respects at St Patricks. Then I went down next day to see the procession head to Penn Station for the funeral train to DC. Devasting times.

16. I got to shake his hand in Crete Nebraska when I was a kid.

[Walleye]

26. Excellent work on the photos

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

10. My brother in law's cousin was a Bobby Kennedy's state campaign official

Don’t know what state…

I will have to ask again

I believe it was either NY, Massachusetts ,,,, or maybe NJ

[GoYouPackersGo]

13. Ah yes, the Bobby Kennedy with no brain worm or heroin Jones.

[twodogsbarking]

14. RFK and JFK blown away, what else do I have to say.

[HarryM]

17. The saddest times of the US

I still cry thinking about it.

[70sEraVet]

15. I was a ten year old kid in Scotia NY that year,

and Bobby came into our little airport. My 4th (or was it 5th?) Grade teacher took our class to the airport to see him. I could have reached out and touched him when he walked by.
Why is it, guys like him have to die, and......

[HarryM]

18. Exactly!

[lastlib]

19. RFK (Sr.) has LONG been my political guiding star.

I am thoroughly ashamed of what Jr. has become. RFK (Sr.) himself would be absolutely appalled at it. I don't think Jr. understands one whit about what his father was, or was about.

A most appropos quote for our time. I truly wish our political leaders would abide by it.

[Betty Boom]

22. The first candidate I ever worked for

As a very young teen, putting flyers under windshield wipers of cars in shopping center.

I was watching on TV the night he was shot when they broke in with the news. All I remember is just sobbing for hours. The first time politics and hatred broke my heart.

[Wicked Blue]

23. Listen to your father, Junior nt

[Progressive dog]

25. I shook RFK's hand in Ogdensburg, NY

when he was campaigning in 1964. Got there late with a friend so most people had left but RFK was still standing on the convertible's passenger door and shaking hands.
