On the evening of June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy lay critically wounded and fighting for his life on the floor of the Ambassador Hotel after being struck by three gunshots. Despite the frantic efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away the following day at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. Official reports claimed that RFK was assassinated by a lone gunman, but many aspects of the circumstances and logistics surrounding the shooting failed to convincingly support this conclusion.
The individual identified as the assassin, a small-statured Palestinian man named Sirhan Sirhan, was patiently waiting for Bobby Kennedy in the hotel kitchen, armed with a .22-caliber revolver that held eight bullets. When the moment arrived, he fired the first two shots but missed hitting Kennedy. Before he could take further aim, he was quickly apprehended. Despite being grabbed, he continued to fire the remaining six bullets, which struck several other people in the vicinity.
The autopsy would ultimately confirm that Kennedy had been shot from behind, with the fatal shot striking just below his ear, while the other two shots were found lodged in his back. Numerous witnesses would later verify that Sirhan was never positioned closer than five feet away from RFK at the time of the shooting, making it physically impossible for him to have been the actual killer.

Just like his older brother, John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated five years earlier, the principles of logistics and straightforward common sense strongly argue against the theory that a lone gunman was responsible. John F. Kennedy was tragically killed on November 22, 1963, allegedly by a single shooter named Lee Harvey Oswald. According to the official story, Oswald fired the fatal shots from a window in the Dallas School Book Depository, targeting Kennedy from behind as he rode past in a motorcade. However, video footage and other evidence clearly indicate that the fatal bullet came from a position in front of Kennedy, casting serious doubt on the lone gunman narrative.
Reportedly, several shots had missed their intended targets, which made it highly unlikely that Oswald’s 38 bolt-action rifle was the only firearm used during the incident. Numerous witnesses, many of whom would later die under mysterious and suspicious circumstances, claimed that the shots came not only from behind but also from the front. These accounts, along with other conflicting reports, have continued to fuel speculation and debate about the true sequence of events.
Oswald himself would be mysteriously murdered two days later while being walked through the basement of the Dallas Police Headquarters. His assailant was Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner with connections to the mafia. Conveniently, Oswald would never get his day in court.
To successfully carry out a crime of such an enormous magnitude, the orders would undoubtedly have to originate from very high up in the chain of command. President John F. Kennedy was in direct conflict with the powerful Military-Industrial Complex; they were aggressively pushing for war with Vietnam, while Kennedy himself was firmly opposed to deploying American troops there. This fundamental disagreement created tension at the highest levels of government.
In 1979, the United States Committee on Assassinations concluded that Kennedy was probably killed in a conspiracy and that Oswald did not act alone.
Even with all the numerous discrepancies and inconsistencies that have been uncovered over the years, the government to this day continues to officially maintain and report that Oswald acted entirely alone. The fact that they have not even taken the step to reinvestigate or reopen the case strongly suggests the presence of corruption or a cover-up at the very highest levels of power.
