"Dumping a bear carcass on a New York City bike path perfectly encapsulates Kennedy's recklessness and weirdness as a presidential candidate and a phony environmentalist," said one campaigner.
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.
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?
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.
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.
So the bear was already dead and rather than miss his flight he decided to dump it somewhere that other people would have to deal with it? I get that it isn't the right thing to do, but this is rather minor in the grand scheme of things that messed up politicians do. I know people love to hate on anyone that they think takes votes away from Democrats. I know Biden is no longer running but I can give you a list of things Biden did that is way more awkward than this and no one here would have said a thing. Heck, they would have been calling people fascist for pointing them out.
Have you ever hit an animal? I never said it was normal. I said it was already dead and that there are far bigger issues to worry about. Is it weird that Biden is okay giving Israel more weapons being used to slaughter children?
Bro, it would be one thing if he hit the bear and just left it there. Accidents happen. Heck, I could even understand talking the body with him, especially if he intended to make use of it's skin/meat (waste not, and all that). But the point where I draw the line is when he decided that his not-drunken actions have inconvenienced him and he irresponsibly dumped the bear in central park, rather than taking it somewhere to be disposed of properly. Say nothing of the attempt to stage it as a bike accident as a joke. True psychopath behavior right there.
