A suspected burglar jumped in a Florida lake apparently hiding from law enforcement before an 11-foot alligator killed him, investigators said Monday. His hand and foot reportedly turned up inside the animal's stomach.
Brevard County Sheriff's Maj. Tod Goodyear says 22-year-old Matthew Riggins told his girlfriend he would be in Barefoot Bay to commit burglaries with another suspect. Authorities received calls Nov. 13 about two suspicious men in black walking behind homes and investigated. Riggins was reported missing the next day.

Now the folks around south Louisiana.Said Amos was a hell of a man.
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator,
And just use one hand.
That's all he got left cuz alligator bit it!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow!

Was a really bad way to go, even for a POS like him who broke into people’s houses.

I agree. It’s only natural to see some humor in it due to his sordid choices, but you don’t want to see anyone die like this. We’ve been kind of trained to see some humor in it by movies that play comedy off figures getting their just/unjust rewards based on their behavior. Some terrorists maybe... but not some idiot schmuck like this guy.

Too bad the police had to kill the alligator. It was performing a public service.

They killed the gator? Should have given it a medal.
Or all the Tyson’s chicken it could eat, just to get the taste out of its mouth.

Is an alligator even allowed to use a Croc-Pot?
