How can they kill this hero!

Go Gator!

MIAMI -- A Florida man police said was breaking into cars at Miccosukee Resort and Gaming was attacked and killed by a 9-foot alligator while trying to run from police.

Investigators said officers responded to reports of car break-ins at a Miccosukee Indian Reservation parking lot located at 500 S.W. 177th Ave. in Miami.

One of the men was quickly captured by officers during the incident last week but the other robbery suspect tried to elude officer by jumping into a large pond behind the facility, according to a WJXT-TV report.

I wish I had an alligator in my CRX many years ago. Maybe it wouldn't have gotten stolen.

why is it state law that the gator must be killed? do they somehow get a taste for human blood and go on a human-killing rampage?

edit: wow, that was one terrible sentence i wrote before (see following post's quote).
