What did he go to jail for? I figured somebody as rich/famous as him isn’t going to jail unless it’s serious prison time for something he can’t wiggle out of?

I went digging on that very question, and it was "briefly inconveniencing the US military" which is an objective good

quote:

He was arrested for trespassing at Camp Garcia Vieques, the U.S. Navy training facility, where he and others were protesting the use of a section of the island for training. Kennedy served 30 days in a maximum security prison in Puerto Rico.[106] The trespassing incident forced the suspension of live-fire exercises for almost :siren: three hours :siren:.[107] The lawsuits and protests by Kennedy, and hundreds of Puerto Ricans who were also imprisoned, eventually forced the termination of naval bombing in Vieques by the Bush administration.[108]

Honestly one of the cooler things he's ever done, though arguably not the biggest crime (but the heroin bust in the 80s just got him probation)

Jfc 30 days is usually just city jail time and they stuck him in a maximum security prison

ah here's the actual article I wanted https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-jul-07-mn-19562-story.html

quote:

A federal judge in San Juan sentenced environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to 30 days in jail for trespassing while attempting to thwart Navy bombing exercises on Vieques island.

Several other protesters were convicted along with Kennedy, including New York labor leader Dennis Rivera and Norma Burgos, a senator in Puerto Rico’s legislature.

“You should be a lawmaker, not a lawbreaker,” Chief U.S. District Judge Hector Lafitte told Burgos, sentencing her to 40 days.

Kennedy and the others were among about 180 people arrested during Navy exercises in late April and early May.

I wish he wasn't apparently personally an enormous piece of poo poo because stuff like this would otherwise be a compelling presidential resume

On one hand it's extremely hosed up that a politician would lie about things but on the other hand he called himself the new Rosa Parks and stole a staffer's baby while having a meltdown so you have to take the bad with the good.

Ritchie Torres is a far more problematic rep doing real damage. The argument for getting rid of Santos is the same as Trump, people are just tired of having to pick up their monocles up off the floor after whatever the most recent decorum-based fake outrage is about
