If you haven’t read about it, do yourself a favor. I ignored it for quite a while because I don’t care, but that was a serious mistake. The whole account is wonderful.
The other thing I took away from it is that the NYPD homicide detectives (who, for some reason, were involved) sure know their stuff. They sorted out that it was hit by a car, died somewhere else (like pretty far away), and then someone moved it to Central Park. To me that was impressive.
Also, RFK Jr wants everyone to know that he was NOT drinking. Everyone else involved was drunk as shit. But not him, because he wouldn’t do that; that would clearly be a bad decision when you’re dropping a dead bear cub in a staged bicycle accident in Central Park.
Which is worse, doing stupid shit drunk, or being stone cold sober and thinking this was a good idea?
Right???
Like I’d judge him if he was drunk still, because that shows spectacularly bad judgement.
But doing it sober makes it seem premeditated?
Sounds like something a person close to me with mental illness would do
I think it's more a matter of drunk driving being an obvious criminal offence, while dumping a bear carcass in a park might be more in a grey zone-ish?
