On This Day

1886 - President Grover Cleveland marries 21 year old Frances Folsom...the first U.S. President to be married while in office...

imagine the scandal today...President marries girl young enough to be his daughter and he just happens to be her legal guardian going back to 1875 when she was 11 years old when her father died...this makes Bill Clinton look like a saint...

1968 Senator Robert F Kennedy Is Shot Today, He Died 24 Hours Later

It happened at 12:50 a.m. PDT, in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He was shot 3 times, 5 other people were wounded. He had just delivered a speech in which he celebrated winning the California presidential primary. He was 42 years old.

He was shot by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian, with a .22 Revolver. Sirhan's motives have always been unclear, but conspiracy watchers say he could have been part of a wider conspiracy to stop Kennedy who was intent on stopping the Vietnam War.

Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to die, but California suspended the death penalty. He has been in jail since, denied parole as a threat to public safety.

After stashing the corpse in the trash, Drexler returns to prom and proceeds to eat a salad, request a Metallica song, and dance."
