    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.

    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.

          Because this isn’t weird. This is just completely fucking insane.

    he was far from Central Park … 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.

    Hours passed, Kennedy Jr. said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people whom 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.

      Ok honestly that just sounds like a hilarious prank.
