Sirhan Sirhan Guilty?

[Andre]

Sirhan had an obsession with Bobby Kennedy because he thought RFK was radically pro-Israel and helping the "Jews". Sirhan wasn't "brainwashed" by anyone, he was just another Palestinian/mid-eastern born looney with an obsession, and sub-consciously seeking the negative attention he used to get from his abusive father.

Yeah you're right. Do you think his father brainwashed him?

There's a really good chance Sirhan learned some of his anti-semitism, and/or hatred of Israel/Jews from his Palestinian/Arab father. Sirhan grew up during the Jewish-Arab war would be 12 years old when his family immigrated to the U.S., as Palestinian refugees.

Why Sirhan targeted Bobby Kennedy is a bit of a mystery, I don't recall RFK being all that pro-Israel, certainly not any more than other Democratic politicians back in 1968. In any event, Sirhan probably thought assassinating Kennedy would make him a fucking hero, sort of like when John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abe Lincoln, in the belief that he would be a hero to the confederacy.

You guys have lost alot of Presidents to that and many failed attempts too.

We dont have that here and yet we are multi cultural too. Once you get here you just dont seem to bother with back home stuff anymore.

We have a real job caring enough to even come off the beach to get our fish and chips if it wasnt for basic hunger we'd still all be down there.

Australians seemed really layed back, I was watching a documentary about the horrible flooding you had there, and was impressed at how much unity there was among the people living there.

America has a somewhat special set of circumstances in regards to it being "multi-cultural", that's hard for people in other countries to understand. If you don't live in the Southern U.S. for example, and all you know is what you read about or see in the media, then you have no idea what actually goes on here.

Yeah most people helped out. We have some assholes out here too but they are just the Americans we have here.
Im kidding, we have thieves and looters here too as many as you have per capita but they are a touch scared to just march in on a situation like that as they would get hounded for the rest of their lives and have to move out of their own homes.
