It wasn’t just the dead bear.

Days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to taking a bear carcass from the side of the road and placing it in Central Park as a prank a decade ago, he said that has been picking up roadkill his “whole life” and once had a “freezer full of it” at home.

The comment came as the independent presidential candidate was leaving an upstate New York courtroom Wednesday where he had testified in a lawsuit seeking to exclude him from the state’s ballot in November.

The trial has focused on whether Kennedy improperly listed a residence in the New York City suburb of Katonah as his home address on his nominating petitions, when he has actually been living in the Los Angeles area since 2014.

    Depends on the roadkill, honestly. Deer as roadkill, especially if you’re the one who hit it (or saw it hit) isn’t too bad, because it’s already an animal normally eaten, and is reasonably fresh.

    Now a raccoon that’s been on the side of the road for god knows how long…that’s a different story.

      Yes, I should have specified that you need to see it hit, or come across it very, very shortly afterwards.

        Tug at the fur. If it stays in, you’re good. If it comes out, then it’s been there too long.

          🤮

          If I didn’t see it get hit, or personally put it out of it’s misery after being hit, I ain’t risking it.
