Seems as if “common” sense is a rarity with some.
People do stupid things all the time. Stay out in the Florida sun too long and (depending on the amount of exposed untanned skin) you’ll suffer a sunburn. Nice long empty stretch of road ahead so you do 80 in a 55 mph zone and there’s a cop hidden behind that sign up ahead, you may very well get a ticket. And so on.
Gators are what they are, and what they are is a rather timid reptile that is perfectly happy to stay around his watery, weedy habitat while staying as far away from humans as he can. Oh, he may become belligerent if a human threatens him, or if he has dinner lined up and some human tries to take it away from him, but blaming the gator in a case like that makes about as much sense as blaming the road for your speeding ticket or blaming the sun for your sunburn.
People can be protected from their own stupidity for only so long. Maybe it’s time to take a little responsibility for what we do.
