"Orange County Justice of the Peace Rodney Price told CNN affiliate KFDM that Woodward ignored verbal warnings and a posted "No Swimming Alligators" sign and seemed to mock the deadly creatures before going in the water. "He removed his shirt, removed his billfold ... someone shouted a warning and he said 'blank the alligators' and jumped in to the water and almost immediately yelled for help," Price said. " "Please do not go swimming, there's a bigger alligator out here. Just please stay out of the water," witness and marina employee Michelle Wright said she told Woodward. She said the next thing she heard was the woman screaming, "An alligator's got him." Wright said she used a flashlight in the darkness to scan the water. In an emotional interview with KFDM, Wright said, "I saw his body floating face down. And then he's out there for a couple of seconds and then he's dragged back down. And then he comes back up still face down and then he gets pulled down again. And then he just disappears." |

Is this another case of , " Darwin is right again " ???
Or just Southern " hey ya'll watch this " . gd |

Another story says "alcohol may have been A factor." Why won't they just say "drunk idiot got himself killed,"?

Wow. Darwin couldn't have killed him any more......ironically.

I saw a report that said he had been at marina bar before incident.
Alcohol helps Darwin. |

There was a time when man and alligator held a sort of respectful esteem for one another. They could posture and debate global issues in a lively but fun loving fashion, even share an occasional childhood story or two. My friends, it would appear that those glorious days have come to an unfortunate end. I blame this on George Bush.

My dad texted me yesterday about this, whish is odd as my dad never texts. He usually calls.
Anyway, he thought the poor fella may have been frog giggin, but I texted back "probably drunk". Looks like I was right. |

He was always fucking with the alligators and crocodile calling them beauties. That's when relations between big lizard and man broke down. |

I'll go with "If a person is that idiotic then it's probably for the best that person is culled from the rest. Let Darwinism do what it does best."

The sign clearly stated there were no alligators swimming in the water
|

Believe it or not, this is the first person ever killed by an alligator in Texas. (That has been quasi-verified). We had a nice streak going.

He among us that has done something incredibly stupid while drunk, and got away unscathed, shall cast stones in this thread.
Darwin won this round. |

I feel sorry for the marina employee. She's been traumatized by this for life.

Being from the North the first time I encountered a wild alligator in Florida I was shocked at its size and tenacity.
Relatives own a large cattle farm north of Tampa. I left the truck and walked a few into the woods only a few feet to take a leak and there was a 8 foot monster with lots of teeth. That and buzzards. The Buzzards kill the calf before they are fully born. They peck the eyes. And of course it's illegal to shoot them as well. |
