That qualifies for Dumb A-- of the day award! Saw it on the news.

Of course so did everyone else here in Syracuse who thinks I'm crazy for moving to Florida.

Now I'm getting e-mails with the old " I Told you So!

It looks like the man was trying to steal the gator's sweater. I would be pretty unhappy too if someone tried to take a sweater off my shoulders.

Can't blame Mr. Gator for fighting back. The guy was lucky the gator's self defense retaliation was not continued and this story didn't have a tragic ending. Remember...these creatures were here long before us.

Humans also attack when cornered and threatened. When we were young, we learned The American Indian were considered savages. All those old television shows told us that. As we grew older most of realized, "It was the white man who killed their buffalo for the fun of it and wiped out a civilization." This was the Indian's place and when the white man came over and started to take over the land and kill the redskins and rape their woman, can you blame them for fighting back? Leave the alligator alone.

I should point out that this was one of our native North Carolina alligators.
Of course, when they get older, they retire and swim to Florida where they are known as Frogators.

Showed the video to my wife, and when she heard that the guy is a scientist at an aquarium, she said, "What was he thinking ? He almost became an exhibit at the aquarium."
