Why didn't they just kill the gator? Why did it have to be euthanized?

Also, the gator carried them into the retention pond. Did one of the unfortunate victims escape?

Time to get smart....Kill the damn sobs and make alligator shoes and handbags again. Stop all this protective cr**...it’s deadly and unnecessary.

One person died after an estimated 11-foot alligator pulled them into a retention pond

I'm getting sick of this gender nonsense

Maybe the person was transgender and it was a woke media outlet.

Why didn’t he just whack it on the snout with an iron skillet? I saw it done, on the internet, so it must work!

>>>>Also, the gator carried them into the retention pond. Did one of the unfortunate victims escape?<<<<

Truly a tragic story. It appears only one person was involved, sex unknown, and the reporter used “they” instead of “he or she” — sloppy and grammatically incorrect, but so common now.

Also in Horry County:


“More than 1,300 Republican runoff voters in Horry County were incorrectly mailed Democratic runoff ballots because of an error in the ballot printing and mailing process, Horry County Government announced Friday afternoon.”

Nice photo of a drop box, too! When will voters figure out mail-in voting is open to fraud and error and demand it stop?

Myrtle Beach? Dang, that’s a long way north for a big gator.

That said, some years ago (~20) I saw a manatee in the Charleston area. Still.

NOT a pleasant way to go. It gives me the chills thinking about it.

An 11 foot gator is getting pretty big.

an estimated 11-foot alligator pulled them into a retention pond Friday at the Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht Club...

I’ve heard of a water hazard, but this is a bit much.

I wonder if the victim was trying to pet it or feed it?

These deaths are rare and are generally the fault of the human. Last SC gator death involved a woman wading out in the water to pet the gator. She had a snoot full and the gator had a mouthful.

“It’s absolutely horrible,” he said. “As far as I know, most neighbors have always treated the alligators with a healthy respect and almost like part of the community.”

I did NOT notice anyone say an empty clip with any of the popular self defense weapons would likely have kept the victim out of the retention pond.

An armed society is a safer society.

Gator had a gun? I mean the news think that everyone dies by guns owned by law obeying citizens! I guess this gator must have used a gun.

Prayers for the victims ..
