Woman killed by gator attempted to touch it, told rescuers she wouldn’t ‘do this again’

Thought for sure this was going to be Florida

Well, she wasn't wrong.

the herd does a pretty decent job of thinning itself out

Unfortunate an innocent gator had to die because of a dumb southernor. They will be showing up in Colorado soon to litter and set shit on fire. Yay

Women. Amirite?

Everybody knows you can't just pet a gator!

You have to touch them the right way. Belly rubs are always welcome, but if you try to pet them on the head you're gonna regret it!

It’s possible this situation went down exactly the way the homeowners said it did. But it should also be noted that if you have a gator in a pond in your back yard and you wanted to get rid of a certain person, you could push her into the pond and later tell the police that she was drunk and tried to pet the gator.

You’re on to something. We should all revisit in a few weeks. That is more logical than “petting” the gator. How could someone like that make it 57 years?

The friend yelled at Covert that the alligator grabbed a deer the other day from the spot she stood.

Covert replied,”I don’t look like a deer,” then moved to touch the alligator, a report by the sheriff’s office states.

Who yells that long and detailed of a sentence?

How did she make it to 57 years-old?

She must have been sheltering-in-place a long time.

Hey, that’s rat poison.

I’m not a rat.

Kiawah Island is filled with snowbirds who don’t know very much about alligators, how fast they can move in short spurts. Guessing she might have had a couple drinks. Sad story.
