Who does that?

I hope the girl's father is laughing his ass off in front of her.

What an awful way to go. I believe gators kill and then let the flesh rot to eat later. That’s how they like it. Shoulda left him.

Yeah, right. I don’t recall one story out of all the alligators in the NYC sewers ever helping out the police in this way.
