If you haven’t read about it, do yourself a favor. I ignored it for quite a while because I don’t care, but that was a serious mistake. The whole account is wonderful.

The other thing I took away from it is that the NYPD homicide detectives (who, for some reason, were involved) sure know their stuff. They sorted out that it was hit by a car, died somewhere else (like pretty far away), and then someone moved it to Central Park. To me that was impressive.

Also, RFK Jr wants everyone to know that he was NOT drinking. Everyone else involved was drunk as shit. But not him, because he wouldn’t do that; that would clearly be a bad decision when you’re dropping a dead bear cub in a staged bicycle accident in Central Park.

Which is worse, doing stupid shit drunk, or being stone cold sober and thinking this was a good idea?

Right???

Like I’d judge him if he was drunk still, because that shows spectacularly bad judgement.

But doing it sober makes it seem premeditated?

Sounds like something a person close to me with mental illness would do

I think it’s more a matter of drunk driving being an obvious criminal offence, while dumping a bear carcass in a park might be more in a grey zone-ish?

I’m less concerned about dumping the dead bear in Central Park than I am with the decision making to even have a dead bear to dump.

His friend hit it with her car, and he decided he wanted to take the body home and cut it up for meat.

The decision to get out of your car and start fuckin’ with the dead bear cub’s body, just assuming that it has no family in the area, seems to me like honestly the most serious mistake of the entire bad idea adventure.

Okay but to me that falls apart when it’s followed up with ‘oh I have a flight to catch I better just dump it in central fucking park’

If you knew there were plans you can’t miss, you definitely don’t have time to dress and butcher a bear.

Guy’s friends we’re all drunk but he super defininitely wasn’t? Was one of the drunk friends driving?

Im flabbergasted about needing to put a bicycle next to it for some reason. They added that to their “plan”.

These people were also full grown 60 year old adults.

The whole thing is a remarkable string of bad decisions. I’m a little impressed.

One of his hobbies when he was younger was hanging out with his hawk (who may or may not have been trained to kill cops) next to a pit full of rotting cow carcasses. It blows my mind that anyone would consider someone this unhinged a viable candidate for president.

I heard the worm was killed and removed. Seems to have left some spectacular damage though.

This happened like 10 years ago, so the worms were just digging in back then perhaps.
