RFK, Jr. was arrested along with "Blade Runner" actress Daryl Hannah at a White House protest on Feb. 13, 2013. The son of the late Robert F. Kennedy and the former girlfriend of the late John F. Kennedy, Jr. were just two of the famous faces among those arrested at the protest against the Keystone oil pipeline, according to New York Daily News.
Activists from the Sierra Club cuffed themselves to a gate at the White House during the protest just prior to being arrested. RFK, Jr. was arrested after speaking to the crowd about the pipeline, which opponents say will contribute to global warming while transporting "dirty oil" from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. Protesters are also concerned about the potential for an oil spill along the proposed Keystone oil pipeline.
RFK, Jr. was arrested along with his son Conor Kennedy also. Conor was in the headlines quite a bit last year thanks to a whirlwind romance with country songbird Taylor Swift, but their relationship ended just as quickly as it began.
