News coverage from 2014, when the dead baby bear was found
Really amazing what brain worms cause people to do sometimes
Brain worms: The gift that keeps on giving!
Republicans stop being weird for like 5 minutes.
He didn’t run in the Democratic primary because while Democrats can be weird, Democratic voters, including the rest of the Kennedy family, tend to reject this kind of weird.
That’s true, but only as of like a year ago. He was a Democrat for like 50 years. Doesn’t make this (or him) any less reprehensible and bat-shit crazy. I, for one, am glad he changed to an independent party affiliation.
he was far from Central Park … when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.
Hours passed, Kennedy Jr. said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people whom he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.
Mind you, if you actually hit a baby bear with a bike, the mother would promptly maul you. Which makes the whole staged accident complete implausible
And the bike probably didn’t look like it just ran into something, and why would someone abandon their bike?

Ok honestly that just sounds like a hilarious prank.
You’d love listening to the Behind the Bastards episodes they just did on RFK Jr then; I may hate him but he is a prank god.
Pretending to be run over then screaming “You just killed another Kennedy!” Or telling a cop that you have a bird in your jacket that’s trained to kill cops… before pulling out said bird and launching it at him. Some S-tier shit right there!
So the article that’s coming is … worse than that?
Don’t know if you’ve ever been around a bear cub, but they’re pretty damn cute. You’d have to be a real monster to kill one.
I have, but I try to keep my distance because there’s usually a momma around. Kids, don’t try to pet the cute live teddy bears if you’d like to keep your face.
I think the article is just going to be that, but more critical and less “oh, isn’t it funny that I took a dead bear from the side of the road and then staged it to look like a bike accident in Central Park. Ha ha ha, the folly of youth while hawking with friends before a late dinner at Peter Luger’s, am I right?”
That kind of story might fly if he was 16 when he did it. “Folly of youth” sounds bonkers when the person was 60 at the time of their action.
I’m really not sure why dumping a dead bear is more alarming than the fact that he was dating a dead bear?
Because he claimed that it happened in Central Park, where there are absolutely no bears, alive or dead. The story is ridiculous in the extreme.
It’s like “admitting” to launching a rocket from the Empire State Building.
