8. Ace Security guard Thane Eugene Cesar shot Bobby from behind, only inches away

He was escorting RFK through the door to the Ambassador Hotel kitchen and was directly behind him on the right side.

Multiple eyewitnesses testified that the closest Sirhan Sirhan ever got to Bobby was between 4 to 8 feet away, in FRONT of him.

Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner for the County of Los Angeles, Thomas Noguchi, "stated that the fatal shot was behind Kennedy's right ear and had been fired at a distance of approximately one inch." (Wikipedia)

Bobby was killed by a .22-caliber bullet.
Cesar admitted that he did own a .22-caliber Harrington & Richardson pistol and showed it to LAPD Sergeant P.E. O'Steen on June 24, 1968.
But when LAPD interviewed Cesar 3 years later, he claimed he had sold the gun before the assassination to a man named Jim Yoder.
Assassination researcher William W. Turner tracked down Yoder in October, 1972.
Yoder still had the receipt for the H&R pistol, which was dated September 6, 1968, and bore Cesar's signature, indicating that Cesar had sold the pistol three months after Kennedy's assassination, contradicting his 1971 claim that he had sold the weapon months before it.

We don't have Netflix, so we can't watch the Bobby Kennedy program.

Progressive political writer Michael Parenti has lectured extensively on the Kennedy assassinations and has written 23 books on various political topics.
I was just yesterday listening to a taped lecture he gave mentioning the RFK assassination, which is available from "TUC Radio"
https://tucradio.org/michael-parenti/

In the tape I heard, Parenti talks about how even such notables on the "Left" such as Alexander Coburn and Noam Chomsky are in denial about both JFK's and RFK's assassinations, and consider any mention of "multiple gunmen" in either assassination as merely the result of "Camelot dreamers"

(Both Chomsky & Coburn are full of shit, in my opinion)

Another very good source of true information on the Kennedy assassinations is Dr. Peter Dale Scott, who used to teach at U.C. Berkeley. and who has written many books on the subject.
