BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Assassination Scare | Heavily Armed Man Detained
A heavily armed man who posed as RFK’s security was arrested at a campaign rally.
This comes after RFK’s unsuccessful requests for Secret Service protection since declaring candidacy in April: “I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection.” “I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection.”
Both RFK’s father and uncle were assassinated, so this attempt is severely distressing for the Kennedy family.
STATEMENTS BY RFK: –
“The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID.”
– “He identified himself as a member of my security detail.”
– “Armed GDBA (Private Corporate Security) team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest.”
Update: As David pointed out in the comments, this location is scary close to the site where RKF Jr. father was assassinated.

The incident took place less than two miles from the former site of The Ambassador Hotel, 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, where RFK was shot and killed in June 1968 after winning the Democratic California presidential primary. The property was later redeveloped as the Robert F. Kennedy Schools after the hotel was demolished in 2005.
I passed The Ambassador daily while working in L.A. for Nortel.

The question I’d ask is, “Why isn’t this story leading the top of the news on all networks?”
