Welcome Sam. Thanks Tim.

I was 10 in 1968. Came from a family who discussed politics. Loved Bobby Kennedy.

The thing that so far differs from 1968 is the riots. But we read about today’s tight-wing trained militias. I pray they show restraint.

It is a very volatile and dangerous situation. I assume that Biden is going to try to address this tonight.

I remember that night in '68. I was listening to the California election returns on the radio. I dozed off and when I woke it was all about RFK being shot. I think that morning my stepmother, a Roosevelt Democrat, went to a vigil at the hospital where he was. Oddly, I was listening to the radio yesterday when it happened. I had the same sense of confusion / disbelief / trying to sort out what I was hearing like I did then.
