A mischievous man decided to take a little adventure to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s California home not once, but twice! Talk about determination! Kennedy’s private security team, Gavin de Becker & Associates, caught this guy snooping around on the second floor of the house, and they detained him until the police showed up. The guy apparently had the audacity to ask to see Kennedy! Can you believe it? The police were nice enough to only give him a citation for trespassing and let him go. But here’s the kicker: after getting busted the first time, the man immediately returned to Kennedy’s house! I guess he couldn’t resist another visit. This time, the police arrested him and charged him with violating an emergency protective order. This guy just doesn’t know when to quit!

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Kennedy’s campaign claims that they’ve been warning the Secret Service about this obsessed individual for months. They even showed them the creepy messages he’d been sending to Kennedy. To their dismay, the campaign’s requests for Secret Service protection have so far been denied by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas. Seriously, what’s the holdup? The campaign argues that it’s standard for candidates to receive early protection when requested, but Mayorkas seems to be breaking that tradition. I guess following the rules is just too much to ask for these days.
What makes this situation even more frustrating is the fact that Kennedy’s cousin, Edward Kennedy, got Secret Service protection a whopping 441 days before the 1980 election, and he hadn’t even announced his candidacy at that point! Talk about giving preferential treatment. And it’s not just Edward Kennedy who got the special treatment. Others, like Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and Pat Robertson, all received Secret Service protection when they were running for president. So why is RFK Jr. being left out in the cold?
In the meantime, Kennedy’s security team, GDBA, will continue to keep an eye on things. It’s worth noting that they’ve not only been providing security but also generously donated $4.5 million to a pro-Kennedy Super PAC. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is! As for the intruder, he’s still in police custody, and they’ve set his bail at a cool $30,000. Maybe he should spend some time reflecting on his life choices while he waits for his court date. Or maybe he’ll decide to take up knitting instead. It seems like a more productive use of his time.
