When you think about what could have been... Cuts deep. He was such an inspiration.

[sharonmcgleave]

Robert kennedy would have been one of the best American presidents who would have changed the course of history. His passing was a great tragedy. R.I.P Bobby.

[StephenAndrew]

The people who did this are the root of all of our problems.

[lubasinalumango]

Continue to rest in peace.
You Kennedy brothers were leaders cut from a different cloth.

[willdrucker]

Ohhhh...what might have been...😥😥😥😥😥😥🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[JamieTransNyc]

Few people realize... the fatal shot was fired from behind RFK, within inches of his head, and with a 22 calibre the same type of weapon the security guard behind him was carrying.

[RFKFANTS]

55 years ago tonight, Like your brother You would have made a great President sleep well Bobby

[surrendertoJC]

It's so sad He died today may he rip

[Dovid]

This was a tragic loss. Robert Kennedy was truly gifted and would have ended the war in Vietnam long before it finally came to an end.

[coffeehubby]

How far both parties have gone from these ideals.

[bethanys]

This is kinda off topic but, RFK was one good looking guy 😍

[woefulanchoress]

I wish I was alive when he was :( he seems like he was such a good and compassionate person.

[ethantaube]

He was a great man. I was not alive then but if I was I would vote for him. He was the last kind and caring and compassionate Democrat. This country would do better if Bobby was elected President. Thanks to a nut Serhan Serhan we will never know what could be

[ferminchapa]

You’ll celebrate his death, but won’t give props to his son.

[rebeccahelen]

Like Dylan's song. MURDER MOST FOUL.

[kariukithairu]

you can close ur eyes and almost hear both Ted and Jfk speaking

[skykat]

He was an amazing man and so compassionate. I guess he was too good for this sinful world. Now “they” have taken control.

[bethgott]

I believe ..Cielo Drive is in CALIFORNIA

[sanjaygadhalay]

So sad he shows such a potential why was he assassinated ...terrible tragedy .. the world history too has changed ....due to this event i daresay ...

[THXH-rr]
