Idiot throwing rocks at gator.
 

This afternoon at the retention pond just south of Palmer country club, a man was down near the waters edge throwing what ever he could find at a gator out in the pond.
Large man in red tee shirt, two sizes too small, and walking with a macho swagger. Seemed he thought it was funny as he laughed to those with him, who were still behind the fence.
He was gone when the Deputy arrived.

You can't fix stupidity or idiocy.

Ugh, just pure ignorance. Seems like something an elementary school bully would do. I can't imagine (or at least I hope) the people with him didn't find it funny and let him know they didn't find it amusing either.

More to the point, what happens to him when the ALLIGATOR doesn't find it amusing?

Kind of reminds me of when we went to Niagra Falls. We were right next to the falls, not much land at all between us and there was a fence. Some sightseers jumped over the fence and got as close to the falls as possible to take a picture. One slip of a rock and they would have been in it.

I was at a Naples, FL golf course many years ago. Known hazards were the gators and snakes. Our friends were showing us the course, and there was a gator sunning itself on the opposite side of the canal.....before I could lift the camera to get the picture, it was in the water. I could not believe how fast it moved. later found out in the first 30 - 40 yards (I think) you cannot out run a gator.
The guy was very lucky the gator did not attack!
Too bad the cops did not get there in time.

If he was intentionally trying to hurt the alligator:

Summary:
These Florida statutes define endangered and threatened species and provide the State's intent to protect these species. Under statute, the intentional killing or wounding of a listed species incurs a third degree felony. Interestingly, the state has a reward program for the arrest and conviction of those who violate state endangered species laws.

Hopefully his kids learned better.

No kids were in the area.

Karma's a bitch!

You leave the Gators alone and they will leave you alone.

Idiots can't seem to leave them alone. Reminds me of a few months ago when some folks on TOTV went crazy because someone spotted a gator close to Brownwood; "It needs moved", "It might bite someone" - :blahblahblah::blahblahblah::blahblahblah:. Back in the early 2000's, my wife and I played Gray Plantation in Lake Charles, LA; there were BIG gators all over that course. People playing there knew to leave them alone. That's what the idiots need to do here - LEAVE THEM ALONE.

The guy is a moron!! I'd love to throw rocks at him...see how he likes it.

Yes, the guy is a moron.

But if attacked by the gator(s), he's not too moronic to get a putrid lawyer to sue the golf course, golf management company, and the developers for all they've got, and happily drive them out of business.

Morons have the best and most affordable legal representation there is. "It's somebody else's fault. Always."
