He has done WHAT?
What's crazier is I'm pretty sure he just started talking about it...
Like, it wasn't a scandal that came out.
RFK jr just casually told someone in an interview one time he found a dead whale on a beach. So he did the common sense thing: got a chainsaw out of his minivan, cut the head off, strapped it to the minivan, then drove home so he could "study" it.
Pretty sure it's because he just brought up dumping the dead bear in Central Park, and when people said that was weird, RFK told the whale story to make the bear story seem normal?
I don't know, you'd have to ask the worm why RFK thought any of this was interview material.
I believe it was his daughter recounting the story in an interview. She talked about how grossed out she was sitting in the back seat while decomposition juices trickled into the car.
She and the rest of the family he took with him for no good reason had to wear tarps with breathing holes to stop the, as she called it, "whale juice" from getting all over them.
I’ll never complain about one of my dad’s impromptu road trips ever again
Right? I went on some bad family trips, but I never had to deal with whale juice because my lawyer dad wants to study a whale skull.
what the fuck
What is it with this fucking man and disgusting dead animals‽ Like, this was before the brain worm started driving ffs! I really thought the brain worm was the reason this dude was so fucking crazy, but apparently not! It must be Rosemary Kennedy's ghost, tormenting the family for what they did.
EDIT: Jesus I just can't get over this. They're dead man you don't have to fuck with them just leave them alone and enjoy your time on the beach with your family or in Central Park throwing dirt clods at the drifters like you want to
just don't fucking touch the dead animals anymore
EDIT: I've done some more research and have learned a few things
like, I just want to understand what his fucking problem is. It was easy when it was the brain worm. I view him as a bit dangerous which is probably why I'm latching onto this and trying to understand his motivations. Dangerous people are easier to handle emotionally if you know why they're dangerous and what they want.
Yeah when you consider who he's related to and what he's been through he seems almost well-adjusted. Coulda turned out a lot crazier for sure. I mean they pretty much tried to create an American royal family, look at the results from history in that kind of aggressive human experimentation, could have been a lot worse. Better luck next time, Bene Gesserits.
Just your average dead whale beheading to bring home the trophy. Nothing special!
