It wasn’t just the dead bear.
Days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to taking a bear carcass from the side of the road and placing it in Central Park as a prank a decade ago, he said that has been picking up roadkill his “whole life” and once had a “freezer full of it” at home.
The comment came as the independent presidential candidate was leaving an upstate New York courtroom Wednesday where he had testified in a lawsuit seeking to exclude him from the state’s ballot in November.
The trial has focused on whether Kennedy improperly listed a residence in the New York City suburb of Katonah as his home address on his nominating petitions, when he has actually been living in the Los Angeles area since 2014.
Can’t imagine how this guy got brain worms
He is lousy with them.
Brain worms or not, he could probably still kick Trump’s ass in a debate.
He could definitely kick Trump’s ass physically, but i’m not sure there’d be a winner in a debate between those two idiots and liars.
RFK Jr would win a few percentage points, and Trump would lose a few, and perhaps with it, the election.
They should definitely debate…
Now… I…. Kinda want to see that.
No. No.
I really want to see that. Call it a morbid curiosity as to how fucked a debate can get.
In that he’s better at lying?
Oh, taking a dead beat roadkill prize wasn’t even the best bit of this extremely juicy story.
When he encountered the dead bear cub, he and his rich hipsters friends were on their way to go “falconing”.
Yes… falconing.
Bonus points. When the story broke of a dead bear being discovered in Central Park ten years ago, his niece who was a journalist for the NY Times wrote the piece - not knowing that her own uncle was responsible for a dead bear being in NYC Central Park!
Can the story get any better
He’s been into falconry since he was a young boy to be fair. Everyone should listen to Behind the Bastards new podcast about him. First couple episodes I was like yeah, he’s fucked up from his family, sympathetic, loves hallucinogenic and other drugs, I kinda like this guy.
Third episode- ehhh I dunno…
Final episode- holy shit he’s an actual baby murdering psychopath
That he’s been rich and out of touch since he was young isn’t in any way a counter to him being rich and out of touch now.
And whatever else he does, he’s a lying anti-vaxxer with enough influence that that’s not just a personal oddity and instead something that gets other people sick and/or killed.
Yeah he’s terrible. I’m not defending him. Seriously check out that podcast. Before I listened I was like he’s a moron vaccine denying rich old man. Now I actually hate the guy.
I mean he seems to be deeply broken…
However, threatening a police officer with a falcon is pretty cool.
He’s been into falconry since he was a young boy to be fair.
To be fair?
Would your family have been able to afford to be into falconry as a young boy? Mine sure wouldn’t and we weren’t exactly poor.
This is the epitome of being rich and out of touch.
I wouldn’t want all the riches in the world if the trade off was to be born in that fucked up family.
Seriously. People treat them like royalty when most of them are just typical old money assholes.
Oooo. Something to look forward to. I’m still on the second episode.
I feel like this guy was living in squalor for awhile with Charlie and Frank
RFK Jr cannibalism scandal is due within a month
I don’t think his family will let him talk about the bloodsport games /s
Oh, well that certainly excuses taking it with you back to New York, going to a steakhouse, forgetting about the bear carcass, realizing you will be late to the airport, then driving to Midtown, which is nowhere near any of New York’s airports, dropping the bear carcass off and putting a bike next to it to make it look like the bike somehow killed a baby bear.
Except no it doesn’t in any way.
The brain worms did a lot of damage.
Yeah… Conservatives aren’t weird at all…
What’s his end goal here? Is any publicity better than none? That’s repulsive.
Well, thank god they weren’t vaccinated at least. /s
How can we be sure that this roadkill in his freezer was all animal? And not maybe … someome.
You can see in his eyes that he knows things humans shouldn’t know
free range meat.
I kinda respect that.
So did the brain worms.
This guy’s Ratatouille kitchen helper is a dead badger with a crushed face.
That’s probably how he got the brain worm in the first place, actually.
TBH it’s not that weird to keep roadkill. That’s a thing that happens in more rural areas; a deer gets hit, game warden gets called, and then the person that hit the deer takes it home, field dresses, and butchers it. I personally know a few people that have done this, because it feels really wasteful to kill a deer and then just leave it to rot and be picked apart by crows and vultures.
Given that bears tend to have very high rates of parasitic infections though, I don’t think I’d do this with bear at all.
He used to keep roadkill in the fridge to feed his pet hawk. It wasn’t even his fridge, it belonged to friends who would let him crash there. They’d ask why not just buy chickens for the hawk to eat, but rfk is a fucking weirdo and thought that keeping roadkill in his friend’s fridge was a better feeding option for his hawk
i was raised by people like this. the correct answer is that he saved a buck or two.
