1. Why would he want parole?

COVID may or may not get him, but what about all the people who aren’t exactly going to greet him with open arms?

2. In some places in the world

he's a national hero. He needs to be kept in a box.

3. He's an innocent man. The shot that killed RFK came from point blank range behind his right ear. nt

But I did know that RFK was my senator.
