View Full Version : Man Attacked By Alligator -Lakeland, FL Area
Quote[/b] ]Then he saw them: a naked man slumped over, caught in the jaws of a huge alligator amid thick cattails in bloodied water. He said the man, who had been using drugs and lost a lot of blood, seemed oddly calm.
Well, that's a unique way of getting a gators attention... another Darwin Award nominee in a bumper crop year.

Quote[/b] ]Judd said Apgar told deputies he had been smoking crack cocaine at the adjacent park, but it was unclear why he was naked or how he was attacked by the alligator.
Maybe because he was smoking crack?

The idiots in Florida who allowed houses to be built backing on to lakes whe alligators inhabit ought to be put in prison. Still as long as somebody is getting their palms greased, then its OK.

Hellzbellz, Melv: they wouldn't be able to build in most of Florida!
You know? You just might be on to something, there...

They're related to the same idiots in California who keep building homes on earthquake faults and on hills that either regularly catch fire or have mud slides.
Some family trees just don't fork...
I understand that after they captured the alligator and just before they destroyed it, they did a brief interview with it. "Tastes like chicken," is all it would say. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Last I heard, the alligator baiter lost his arm. I guess he won't be using that bait again...

Quote[/b] ]Meanwhile, the alligator suspected of the attack was euthanized and there is no plan for a necropsy, because Apgar is not missing any body parts, a state game and wildlife official said this morning.
Oh? It seems his BRAIN went missing!

Why did they kill the Alligator? The gator was only cleaning the Human gene poor. The gator should have had a nice steak dinner for trying to remove a crackhead from the earth. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I don't care if he smoked a pound of crack and drank a case of Vodka at the same time. An idiot is an idiot is an idiot. The guy had to be nuts to begin with.

'Had to be' sounds appropriate. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

They had to destroy the gator.
Can you imagine one of them strung out on crack looking to score another user?
Or worse yet going down to the street corner to find sellers.
Wait a minute,… maybe the DEA could use a few of these fellows.

All joking aside I don;t know why they had to kill the alligator. This nutjob invaded the alligator's home and the alligator did what nature programmed it to do. As for the imbecile (imbesol) who went swimming in the alligator swamp I don't give him much time. He survived this episode of idiocy at it's best but sooner or later his stupidity will put him in a position where he won't be as lucky. Total idiocy is not good for survival.
