I would have had a heart attack right then and there. I lived on the Space Coast for 5-6 yrs and never saw a gator in the wild except at Cape Canaveral.

Smashed up all he wine bottles, so the gator is a mean drunk after he has had a few!

Make sure and use an Aligator clip.

You’d win, but I’m pretty sure that’s 5 years/$5k. I know when I woke up to one on my doorstep, I was told to let animal control deal with it because it was a felony charge to even hurt the thing (did make for an enjoyable call to my boss to let him know why I was running late, tho).

HA I wondered why the headline wasn’t “....Florida Man....” and now I now why.

Good thing no people were hurt. I am not sure my brain could even process that in the middle of the night.

.357 would suffice.

Once saw a Florida Highway Patrolman shoot a 10-footer between the eyes with a Colt Python .357. The slug just bounced off, and the gator shook his head a few times.

Got to shoot them from behind the skull, about where an ear ought to be.

Surely looks like a Democrat to me. Ugly, scales, big mouth open, doesn’t know where he is or what he’s doing. Yep Democrat .
