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.

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 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.
