In Daytona Beach, a man came out of his house and there was an alligator on his porch. The man had no reason to do such a "foolish thing". He was bit bad enough to need to go to a hospital. Lucky to be alive because the alligator was likely startled. Had it been looking for a human meal, the guy would be dead.
Police called a trapper and the alligator was shot dead on live television. The reason - they are a danger to people.

But... Only stupid people have to worry? It never happens? Irrational fear?
Sure... keep saying that.
Like car accidents (Wait, those happen a whole lot more), stove top fires (Wait, those happen a whole lot more) falling off of a ladder at home (Wait, that happens a whole lot more), dog bites (Wait, those happen a whole lot more) and choking on food (Wait, that happens a whole lot more), ingrown toenails…

I recommend the next time you see the gator you can’t stand: jump in with a Bowie knife, wrestle the culprit, gut it, skin it on shore, leave it out to dry, use the bones for a fire, slow cook the meat and eat it slowly staring down all other trespassing varmints while you relax on shore…. It will be a warning to all those coming for you.

Never run from fear or it can get you from behind, always look towards danger so you know how to react.
