Sirhan Sirhan stabbed at Southern California prison

Try harder!
[10News] Sirhan Sirhan,

...the Jerusalem-born, Christian Palestinian of Jordanian citizenship who showed his gratitude for growing up in the safety of the U.S. by killing a Kennedy for supporting Israel...

who was convicted for assassinating Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, was stabbed Friday in a South San Diego County prison.

Sources inside the Donovan Correctional Facility in Otay Mesa told TMZ Sirhan was attacked Friday afternoon in a prison yard.

Sirhan was taken to a hospital outside the prison for care, according to the TMZ source. He remains in stable condition.

Cal Fire confirmed to 10News a person stabbed Friday afternoon at the prison was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital.

"The suspect in the attack has been identified, and has placed in the prison’s Administrative Segregation Unit, pending an investigation," a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation official said in a statement.

Sirhan Sirhan shot and killed Kennedy during a presidential campaign rally in Los Angeles. He was immediately tackled by witnesses. Sirhan was convicted of first-degree murder in 1969 and initially sentenced to death. The sentenced was commuted to life in prison in 1972 when the California Supreme Court found that the death penalty constituted cruel and unusual punishment under the state constitution, according to the CDCR.

Sirhan has had 15 parole hearings and subsequent denials since he was incarcerated. He has claimed he does not remember shooting Kennedy, the Associated Press reported in 2016.

#1 "The suspect in the attack has been identified, and has placed in the prison’s Administrative Segregation Unit, pending an investigation,"

Give him some credit - at least he took a stab at it.

#2 I'm reminded of Chris Rock on SNL Weekend Update commenting on the death penalty: "I got no problem with the death penalty. I'm I'm favor of it. What I have a problem with is the electric chair. That uses electricity. My tax money. There has to be a cheaper way. (Snaps fingers) I know. Stabbing em won't cost a dime..."
