Tet offensive edit
Article states that Johnson "ordered the Tet offensive" which is clearly incorrect as the offensive was launched by North Vietnam! 105.63.219.35 (talk) 03:22, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Protection? edit
Shouldn't this page be protected for being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict? ColorfulSmoke (talk) 00:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- ColorfulSmoke, we only protect articles when there is an ongoing pattern of vandalism, edit warring or other clear disruption. Cullen328 (talk) 00:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
Other three major assassinations? edit
The introduction notes that RFK was "one of four major assassinations in the United States that occurred during the 1960s." While that sentence links to the entire decade of the 60s, a link that explains what the other three assassinations were (presumably MLK JFK and Malcolm X) would probably be appropriate. 150.135.165.56 (talk) 21:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- What is meant is sourced in the article, but I wouldn't think that Malcolm X's assassination was more important than those of Medgar Evers and Lincoln Rockwell (who is listed at List of assassinated American politicians with the two Kennedys, while the others are not), as well as the killings of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, all of which are included in the more comprehensive List_of_assassinations#United_States.

nonsense about hypnosis edit
Herbert Spiegel, a Columbia University psychologist, said that Sirhan was probably induced via hypnosis into firing a gun in the direction of Kennedy without knowing what he was doing and without being able to recall either the events or the process of having been programmed.[96] Spiegel suggested that he was in a state of hypnotically-induced amnesia during the time of his arrest as well as afterwards.[97]
Why is this fringe conspiracy nonsense included in the article? -- 2600:8802:571B:E00:8945:7749:7A14:4CB3 (talk) 13:39, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
Thane Eugene Cesar. Robert F Kennedy Jr.. "Better source needed" edit
Currently the article says "Better source needed" concerning Robert F Kennedy Jr. saying that Thane Eugene Cesar was the shooter that fired the shots that hit and killed his father.
Here is a Nov 12, 2023 video of Robert Kennedy Jr. going into detail about that:
