His daughter:
Note that he intentionally took his kids to watch him saw the head off and put it on the car and take it home. Because he apparently liked to "study" such things. Weird as fuck.
All his life he has spent an unusual amount of time around animal corpses. Dead animals are kind of his thing.
I learned this from the Behind the Bastards podcast's recent RFL Jr. series. It came up so much it was an ongoing callback joke lol.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself...
That... sounds real.
Just a not weird family drive through the country. Seriously though, I'm betting the Harris campaign is sitting on several more of these stories that will roll out over the next couple months.
I'm also wondering where his collection is right now. If he's being investigated for a federal crime, there may be a search warrant in the works.
Look, guys... he already admitted that he's not a choir boy. So just drop it, already. Sheesh. /s
Why...
Why wouldn't you roll up the windows?
Straps go through the windows?
Lol how would you open the doors
You climb in and out through the window. Hardships have to be endured for a whale skull.
I must have ambergris
Jesus Christ, this guy is legitimately fucking unwell. Like, what the fuck?
There's not always the little strip of metal across the top of the door. Some cars just let the glass press against a foam rubber seal when the door is shut. Infiniti G35 windows were like that.
You can still close the windows on the straps, assuming they're flat straps.
I've personally seen too many people try strapping things to their car through open windows because they didn't plan on how they would get into their cars. It's far too likely that mr. brain worms simply strapped the doors shut and crawled in through the windows.
You remove the straps then open the doors.
And then the load shifts on the roof, and you get in. How will you tighten the straps?
Why not just run the straps around with the doors open
Generally there are more than two windows....
But I never said any of this was a good idea, just answering how you can do it. Some car doors won't close with a strap in there (my old Chrysler Lebaron for example, $800 of "Its technically driveable"), so me and a friend went in through the windows.
I had town car, all four doors would close just fine, but the station wagon only the front doors would close (so backseat meant crawling through the trunk, aka the fifth seat).
You do what you gotta do
Normal Kennedy day. They only roll the windows up when things get weird.
Based on what I'm hearing about the guy, I wouldn't be surprised if the windows and/or AC were broken and they just left it like that.
what the fuck
Right, so when they're not driving around with whale heads, he's just a reckless driver. Must run in the family.
Remember folks, there are delusional centrists who love this guy and think he speaks for the working man.
