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. ] (]) 21:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC) |

''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. Spiegel suggested that he was in a state of hypnotically-induced amnesia during the time of his arrest as well as afterwards.'' |

The article could perhaps need some formal review, checking it against the FA criteria. It was promoted eons ago, back in 2008. There are huge swaths of unsourced texts, as well as tags for inappropriate colloquialisms. I am also not positive that it is comprehensive, since the discourse around the shooting has changed significantly the last decade. The 'See also' should prolly also be nuked. ] (]) 21:53, 16 November 2021 (UTC) |
