Just read where the guy who shot George Wallace in 1972 will be released from prison later this year, But Sirhan Sirhan, the guy that shot Robert Kennedy in 1968 is still in prison. Is this reverse discremination? Is the fact that Wallace was a racist the reason why he's getting out, but Sirhan is still rotting in jail?

Sirhan is part of a conspiracy theory. If free he might say things.

Sirhan stated he loved Kennedy but turned against him for supporting Israel (Sirhan is Christian but anti-Zionist - as are some Jews) - though Kennedy was maybe just trying to get Jewish votes.

That's your spin, but I believe they were tried in different states and Wallace was not killed, unlike Kennedy!
If you can't see the difference then NO ONE can help you!

Wallace didn't die as a result of the gunshot wound, so there was no murder charge.
Sirhan killed Kennedy. That's a murder wrap and he got life.
No discrimination there.

Murder vs. attempted murder.
