He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — 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.
Wtf??
Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people 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.
Wtf.... why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!
Say what you want about Kennedy, like how he is responsible for a bunch of deaths in Samoa because of his anti vax nonsense, how he is a sex addict and has been a serial abuser to his wives, or how he's a fucking lunatic, the dude has a solid sense of humor.
He also loves falconing. He once threatened a cop by telling him he had a falcon under his coat and he'd trained it to kill cops, then he shoved the falcon in the cops face.
He would have one of his brothers lie down behind a car and hit it to make a noise, then shout 'oh God you've killed another Kennedy!'. This was shortly after his father was assassinated.

Goddamn, you're right about his sense of humor, that's funny (and dark) as fuck.
How many of us can say we never ran out of time to take a dead bear home to skin it and looked around desperately for a place in Manhattan to dump the carcass? If anything, this makes him more relatable.
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.
I too enjoy Behind the Bastards. I particularly liked the one where he used to regularly drop acid near a pile of dead cows when he was at Millbrook. Probably where he got the brain worm. Well, either that or when he ate rat brains for fun. Dude really knows how to party.

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!
Y’all need to listen to the Behind The Bastards podcast on this guy.
He is completely F’d up, probably ADHD as hell*, and a few brain cells short of a full worm. It would take decades of therapy to get him to realize what his experiences as a youth did to him, but even then I doubt he’d be capable of acting on that knowledge. Abusive family, neglected to a degree, dealing with the deaths in the family, shipped off to boarding schools…what a complete mess. If he’d been a kid in a more understanding family and not a Kennedy he probably would have been fine.
*I don’t know if he’s getting any help for the adhd, there’s nothing wrong with adhd, but his untreated adhd as a youth caused serious issues with his life. ADHD meds weren’t available until the ‘60s, and I’m sure getting treated for a “mental illness” as a Kennedy wasn’t in the cards.
I’m a fan, but not without reason. As much as Robert points a finger at people he’s discussing as lacking nuance and tone-deafness, the podcast itself is guilty of this on occasion, though overall they do a good job. They’re not wrong, they just gloss over some things occasionally. That said, overall it’s really a great podcast and I highly recommend it too, just keep some healthy skepticism and do a little reading and framing yourself.
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?"
Does his voice always sound like that? Listening to him makes me uncomfortable, like listening to someone talk in front a crowd for the first time AND that needs to clear their throat. It's like nails on a chalkboard.
I would guess they were using this as a rhetorical device to emphasise how much they dislike Trump. I don't think they're actually planning on voting for the guy
It would be if the President didn't have any actual power. His actual policy positions seem to involve bringing back measles and taking money out of my pocket to give it to the who have funded his campaign
Grabbing people by the pussy is a far cry from rucking about with bear carcasses. Also Kennedy knows about and admits his brain worm. Plus he was never in a shitty home alone sequel, professional wrestling, or drama TV. Trump = fascist weirdo loser. Kennedy = if I win we will make American soil great again. A bear carcass will fertilize every river! /S in case y'all couldn't tell.
