I think the funeral of Teddy Kennedy is a good time to look back at Bobby's assassination, which ended mainstream progressive politics in America. The message was clear to the political class: "Do not mess with the war machine or the social order, or you will be terminated".

Pepper, a journalist-turned-lawyer, whose work was instrumental in moving King to speak out against the Viet Nam war, exposed the assassination of MLK as an extra-legal execution.
