But we have nothing to worry about. Irrational fears of something that never happens. Everybody needs to be "smarter". And carry a gun "just in case". It's so rare.
Yet, it happened. Again. Twice now in a week.

This could have been a child attacked. When that happens, maybe then people will realize taking action BEFORE another attack happens is the right thing to do here.
You would leave your young child, unattended in the back yard?

Hell a hawk or eagle could have attacked them...

Same with your dog...

I'm sure it took more than 10 minutes for that gator to get past the fence...

Edited to add: Per the article, the gator got into the yard THRU A DAMAGED SECTION OF THE FENCE, THAT WAS DESTROYED IN THE HURRICANE...
