Thane Eugene Cesar (1941/1942 – September 11, 2019) was a Statesian pro-segregation activist who assassinated senator presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy.[1]

Career[edit | edit source]

Cesar worked for Hughes Aircraft and later in a Lockheed facility in Burbank that built U-2 spy planes for the CIA. He was also a security guard for Ace Security Services. Before assassinating RFK, he was seen in Las Vegas with a hitman from Florida.[1]

RFK assassination[edit | edit source]

Shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, Cesar was in a small serving area in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He grabbed Kennedy's right elbow and shot him three times at point blank from above with a .22 handgun. A fourth shot went through Kennedy's coat. Kennedy pulled off Cesar's tie while falling after being shot.[1]

Cesar initially said that he saw Kennedy get shot four times but later denied seeing him be shot at all.[1]

Aftermath[edit | edit source]

After the assassination, Cesar sold the murder weapon to Jim Yoder and escaped to the Philippines.[1]

Political views[edit | edit source]

Cesar supported the segregationist presidential campaign of Alabama Governor George Wallace. He called the Kennedys "the biggest bunch of crooks that ever walked the Earth."[1]
