A massive alligator was caught Friday carrying the lifeless body of a Floridian down a canal.

A witness first spotted the 14-foot reptile with its victim clenched between its jaws on a residential street in Largo, a small community just four miles south of Clearwater.

“I could tell there was a body in his mouth, so I started recording,” witness JaMarcus Bullard told Spectrum Bay News 9.

Bullard, who was on his way to a job interview, alerted the Largo Fire Department, which was stationed just steps away from the gory scene.

Emergency personnel quickly pulled the gator from the water and shot it “a few times,” Bullard said.

“A lot of my neighbors were out here and they’re the ones that told me about the gator,” area resident Jennifer Dean told the outlet.

No pictures? All the pictures seem to be blurred out.

carrying the lifeless body of a Floridian down a canal...

What's the gender?

Just wondering from now if we'll see disappearing from the news Floriduh Man or Floriduh Woman.

Democrats are in office and ascendant.
Times are hard...

Trumps campaign platform is Legalize Gasoline, Criminalize Transing the children. Everything’s upside down. Each plank is diametrically opposite of the cultural zeitgeist. Everything’s inverted.

Alligators hauling dead bodies into the canal doesn’t seem unusual.

Recently there was a homeless woman who got hauled off by a gator. Substance abuse seemed to be her issue. It got her dead in a horrible way.

Why are alligators a protected species? It is not right to allow them in close proximity to other life. They are a threat and prohibit humans and other animals freedom of movement.

So?

That doesn’t prove anything.

Maybe the gator was trying to get the human to a hospital.

What if the gator was trying to revive the human, using, admittedly, unorthodox methods, but with goodness in its heart none-the-less?

I think this gator deserves a medal and a cul-de-sac named after it.

Old news, besides who hasn’t seen an alligator in Florida carrying human body parts.
