"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."

Due to the lack of punctuation, he thought there were no swimming alligators.

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

Just think how boring the local news and Cops TV show would be without alcohol. Come to think of it, the government child support collection people probably wouldn't have as many jobs, either.

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.

Man: "Fuck the alligators!"
Alligator:  "Fuck the alligators?  Oh, good sir, as a minor point of order, I would like to point out that in this bayou, the alligators fuck you."
Alligator:  "And where are your much heralded opposable thumbs now?"
Alligator:  "In muh belly!"

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.

I blame that Auzy named Steve. He was always fucking with the alligators and crocodile calling them beauties. That's when relations between big lizard and man broke down.

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.

When Santa Anna's army was sweeping eastward from San Antonio after the fall of the Alamo, records show a Texican was reportedly eaten by a large alligator while crossing a river.

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.
