Was his assassination captured on film?

No, after RFK's speech in the Ambassador Ballroom in 1968 he made his way off the podium and was sadly gunned down by that bastard Sirhan Sirhan. CBS television crews were filming the ballroom, and have the sounds of the gunshots on tape, but Kennedy was too far into the kitchen (were the assassina111ction took place) There is rather grim and disturbing film of him laying on the kitchen floor, with blood coming out of his dead.
Goddamn shame.

Kennedy was shot from behind according to the ballistics report. There was also 10 bullet holes in the wall, when Sirhan only had an 8 shooter and never reloaded. Someone behind Kennedy fired the shots that killed him.

Sirhan-Sirhan had it imprinted into his brain that he was the only assassin. He thinks he was the assassin. He was just another in the line of patsies. It has been studied, and it has been said that Sirhan-Sirhan fired blanks from his revolver while another man fired at Robert at a very close range behind the head and in his side. Sirhan-Sirhan was at all times in front of Robert Kennedy. This is a discrepancy that cannot be explained. To me They killed John, they hated John But they hated Robert even more(his attacks on organized crime), and they kept him from ever setting foot in the office. Same conspirators, same motive.

Yes Sirhan-Sirhan has mental issues this is true. Which would explain why he truely believes he killed Robert Kennedy. I don't know if he's been released. I do know that his claim is that he killed Robert because of his arming Israel with Jets. To me he was a brainwashed man. Not innocent oh no he's as dirty as it gets. He just didn't actually kill RFK. You can check up on it on the net. Just keyword search Robert Kennedy assassination.

Well, Sirhan Sirhan was in front of Kennedy with a gun that could only hold 8 bullets, with out loading. All together, including in RFK and the walls, was 11 bullets together. Also, there was a bullet found in his neck that came from behind him. Witnesses say that there was a lady in a polka dotted dress and a tall guy in a blue suit when RFK was killed. After he was shot, a few seconds later, the women and the tall man ran out of the place screaming "RFK WAS SHOT. WE DID IT. LETS GO LETS GO. HES DEAD". They wern't saying that in panic though. Also, people said they saw the polka dotted dress lady and the man in the blue suit talking to Sirhan Sirhan before RFK started talking. Those two were with Sirhan Sirhan. Peop2000le said they saw more like 3 guns and not just one out of the place shooting. There wasn't just one shooter and it wasn't Sirhan Sirhan alone. He doesn't even remember anyway so he did not act alone. So, there were 11 bullets in all, including on the walls and in Kennedy. The evidence of the bullets in the walls and everything were taken in for evidence to look at. After, the LAPD says that they lost the evidence. They didn't know where it went. Hmmmmmm seems a little odd. Also, the bullets in Sirhan Sirhans gun didn't match the bullets in RFK. I would give anything to find what happened to the Kennedys but I guess you have to think for yourself anf believe what you think is right.

The only person in the right place to Kill RFK was his Bodyguard, Thomas something. He could have possibly been the one to accidently fire the shot that killed RFK. To get the head shot the shooter would have had to have been pretty close, from what the bullets say
Another mystery, that may never really be solved -

I've heard these stories, too. Just as a sideline issue, LBJ and RFK hated each other and Johnson was president. I'm not implicating him, but there was motive (getting out of Vietnam, when Humphrey was under great pressure at that time to "stay the course" [doesn't that sound familiar?]) and I've read that Johnson actually liked Nixon and had no problem with him becoming president. (I'd give my source for this but forget the book's title other than it was written by a white man who had a strong relationship with the then civil rights movement.)
Oh by the way, Biden in '08 sounds pretty good to me, too. -

Actually, if any of you want to see these terrible things in real time, go to YouTube. Someone actually loaded the night's events there, courtesy of CBS news (if it's still on YouTube) and you can watch the speech - a great one - and the pandemonium afterwards. It's devastating. Just type in Robert Kennedy238.

It wasn't just Sirhan Sirhan. All the bullet shots entered Kennedy from behind while Sirhan was in front of him. Also there were I think 11-12 bullets found while Sirhan's gun could only fit 8. Doesn't make sense. You would have to be a comple moron to believe it was just Sirhan.

Also, read "The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy" by William Turner and Jonn Christian, for details about the shots from behind, among other problems, like how close the gun was, as opposed to how far away Sirhan was.

Didn't Thomas Noguchi, the doctor who performed his and many other famous peoples autposy say that because of the closeness of the shot from behind that he wouldn't say Sirhan Sirhan actually killed him?
