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.

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.

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:
Popular Title: Florida Endangered and Threatened Species Act . Primary Citation: West's F. S. A. 379.2291 - 231 . Country of Origin: United States . Last Checked: September, 2015 . more + 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. |

 . 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.

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." |
