News coverage from 2014, when the dead baby bear was found
Really amazing what brain worms cause people to do sometimes
It definitely sounds like he was under the influence of the brain worm when he made the decision to eat the bear.
… he recounted his dumping of the bear to Roseanne Barr, with the two smiling and laughing. 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.
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.
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!
I bet Robert is kicking himself that this story didn’t come out before he did the episodes.
Mind you, if you actually hit a baby bear with a bike, the mother would promptly maul you. Which makes the whole staged accident complete implausible
And the bike probably didn’t look like it just ran into something, and why would someone abandon their getaway bike?
Maybe the joke is that the bear was on the bike and got into an accident.
If they had been real friends, they’d have talked him out of it instead of encouraging the sick joke. Some people are just weird.
“He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.”
Fun fact:
Suddenly the brain worm story makes a lot more sense. That happens when you eat undercooked roadkill.
It gets better. You should listen to the Behind the Bastards episode on him.
Homie just loves eating rotten meat.
I’ve heard of calling politicians vultures but this is ridiculous.

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.
Yeah, it’s some sort of medical condition, I forgot what exactly.
Spasmodic dysphonia, I looked it up.

🥥 JD Vance: “Cat ladies don’t have a stake in the USA.”
RFK Jr: “Hold my dead bear cub.”
(The 2024 election in the US is becoming increasingly bizarre.) 🥥
#USPolitics, #Election2024, #RFKJr, #JDVance, #DeadBear,
#CatLadies, #TuckersBalls…brain worms…
Yep, checks out.
He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.
Brain worm origin story?
It’s as reasonable a hypothesis as any other at this point
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.
If he was a woman, his own family would’ve had him lobotomized
I think the world would be a far better place if we could get everyone to listen to BtB
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.
Brain worms: The gift that keeps on giving!
So the article that’s coming is … worse than that?
He probably killed that bear cub.
Don’t know if you’ve ever been around a bear cub, but they’re pretty damn cute. You’d have to be a real monster to kill one.
I have, but I try to keep my distance because there’s usually a momma around. Kids, don’t try to pet the cute live teddy bears if you’d like to keep your face.
My cousin used to raise bears, and every so often he’d show up with a cub. They get lonely without moma bear, and they cry like a human baby. Best thing to do is play with them. Check their teeth first, though.
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?”
That kind of story might fly if he was 16 when he did it. “Folly of youth” sounds bonkers when the person was 60 at the time of their action.
Yeah totally, I’m just joking based in how he’s trying to play it off in the video.
I guess that’s better than a woman in a pond.
I’d still take this weirdo before Trump.
Literally nobody is asking you to make that choice. Vote for the Democrat.
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
Sure, but it’s always worth pointing out that neither of them are legitimate.
By far the weirdest Kennedy.
He once threatened a cop by claiming he had a cop-killing hawk in his pocket. Which he didn’t.
But he did have a hawk in his pocket.
True story.
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.
If you read the history of the Kennedy’s you realize he’s not, and that’s nuts. Though he certainly is a product of his insane family.
Has he admitted to eating human flesh yet? There’s no way he hasn’t done it.
Given the stuff in his recent Behind the Bastards episodes, this completely tracks.
I mean, who can say no to the wonderful stench of rancid animal carcasses.
You killed ANOTHER Kennedy!!
LEONNNNNN!!!
It’s a Kennedy miracle!
I need myself a cop-hunting falcon.
