A Florida deputy was able to rescue a teenage girl who had been cornered in a tree by a large alligator by shooting it with an AR-15 rifle.
Jordan Broderick, 15, was stuck in a tree in Lake County for nearly an hour on Friday afternoon because a 10-foot alligator sat on the ground below, hissing at her, the Sun-Sentinel reported, citing a sheriff's office report. Deputy Mitch Blackmon responded to the scene, where he found the teen — who had been swimming in a creek in Ocala National Forest — yelling that she was tired from hanging onto a tree branch for so long.
Blackmon wrote in his report that his "presence failed to scare the alligator away, and it began encroaching on my area at which time I fired one single 223 round from my Bushmaster AR15 killing the alligator." "My daughter's stuck in a frickin' tree and there's gators surrounding her!" Broderick's mother reportedly told a 911 dispatcher. "Oh my God! Please hurry! Please hurry!"

“See you later, alligator”
Appropriate name?
Probably some New York architect was designing the community and came up with that one …
That’s a fun report to read. I don’t know if the girl should have been in that environment or not, but I’m glad she was nimble enough to get up in a tree.
More than likely. Damn Northern Monkeys.
Gators are edible. So why is this hunk a meat trying to eat children? Jeez, people don’t know how to kill it and grill it. Heck a shot from the officers duty pistol would have done the job. Sounds pretty lame to me. My wife would call animal waste control and tell them to come pick up this crap in my yard. Then ask them if they want a sandwich “taste like chicken”. She would use an AR 12 ga. Try to tree our kids or grandkids oh and pay up your funeral expenses. Have a nice day!

I hope she gets a free handbag out of this for her troubles.
#13. The reason we call crocodiles “crocs” is because they remind us of Democrats - slimy, hide seeking to prey on the innocent, are part of the GREEN movement, and are a croc of shit.
