The only time the media talks about RFK Jr is because of this story. Nothing, absolutely nothing on his work and his ideas… and everybody just takes the bait.

that's nothing! my late uncle richard told me this story: he lives up in Terrace, BC, Canada, which is kind of out in the sticks, as it were. years ago, he said, he was driving home from work one day, and, he saw a couple of hitchikers on the side of the highway. being a gregarious sort, uncle picked up these two guys, who, as it turned out, were from England. as they continued along, uncle saw a black bear run out of the woods, and it ran directly into the side of a semi-truck that was further up the road. the semi kept going - the driver probably did not know what happened, but, uncle thought it best if he stopped, to drag the dead bear off of the highway. so, he pulls over, and, tells the englishmen - be right back! and he goes and starts dragging the bear off of the highway. surprise! the bear isn't dead, but only stunned, and, it comes to as uncle is dragging it by its hind legs backwards! the bear starts dragging itself forwards, as uncle is trying to drag ir backwards, in a very short tug of war, until uncle realizes, holy cats! this thing is still alive! and he lets go of the bear, which promptly runs away, across the highway, away from the crazy traffic, and worse, crazy drivers! uncle could only chuckle, as he thought those English would never have to pay for another drink again, geting by on the story of the crazy canuck and the bear! true story!

I get staging a bear murder in Central Park, but having coffee with Roseanne? Now that’s just weird.

The bear necessities, the simple bear necessities. Forget about your worries and your strife.

You know you’ve gone off the rails when Rosanne Barr is looking at you like you’re crazy.

[beverlynoel]

Never ever heard her talk about her kid sniffing boss.

Mr. Kennedy, you sir, are no Teddy Roosevelt.

A weird true story is better than a flashy lie.

Also would like to point out that he never mentions that he either showered, changed clothes or went home to pack for his plane ride. So this entire day after falconing in the woods, handling a freshly made bear carcass and just being active he goes straight to a extremely fancy steakhouse in NYC, possibly in the same clothes, and then goes to dump the bear in Central Park and rushes to catch a plane. That, everyone, is one weird guy.

I think the worm went a little deeper than first thought!

[stevebuscemi]

I mean I’m democrat but this really isn’t that weird in rural communities. I’m from Wisconsin and this story sounds like something my hunting friends would tell me

[JohnPMiller]

Who among us has not found a roadkill bear, brought it to New York City, and dumped it in a park? The media is somehow trying to make this common occurrence to be strange or unusual.😂

[Tricia]

Your weird for thinking this story worth reporting.

[MrDevintcoleman]

If it wasn’t for EVERYTHING ELSE going on in this election cycle this would just be bizarrely hilarious (aside from the bear death, but RFK had nothing to do with that). It’s something out of Seinfeld or It’s Always Sunny. Pure comedy. Alas, we live in the real world, and this is our real world.
