"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.
- 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?
  
  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?
  
  Are we sure his "friend" isn't just him?
  
  Possibly getting brain worms might be the worst part.
- 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.
  
  Bicycles: notorious bear killers.
- 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 thought that said conservatives and was surprised they actually care about a person's judgement
- Wow thank you. That's what I read it as too, and I was thinking oh this is where they draw the line with this wacko?
- Hint: they only do if it gives them the upper hand..

It was the brain worms directing him.
- Possibly how he got the brain worms, to be honest.
- 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.

Lying liar tells the truth about something and it’s even worse for him. Fuck this piece of shit.

Jeez, is he using orange pancake makeup too? FFS.
- It is depressingly effective if you've got that pallid veiny translucent thing old white people get.
- I think I saw Biden using it as well 🫣
  
  Lies!
  Wait, really? Where??

The 4 part series that Behind the Bastards just did on him is fascinating. What a strange dude!
- Indeed. Like thinking that the government is planting data chips in vaccines..

Say there are some things conservatives in the rest of us can agree on.
- The headline doesn't say conservatives.
  I thought it did too.

And they are not wrong.

that was the giveaway, huh? Not... you know, everything else that's come out of his mouth?

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.
- DUMPING A DEAD BABY BEAR SOMEWHERE IS NOT NORMAL.
  Do you honestly think this is no big deal behavior? This shit is weird af, not normal "I'm gonna miss my flight" shit???
  
  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?
- He could have called someone..
  
  Or not scavenged a dead bear to begin with.
- He's supposed to be a big environmentalist. That's one of the ways he's selling himself.
  I would suggest this is not the way for an environmentalist to behave.
- 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
  Sure, I'll bite. Name even one things that Biden has ever done that is more awkward than leaving a dead bear in central park.
  
  Sending weapons to a country using them to kill tens of thousands of women & 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.
