Scuba Forum / General / November 2007Man Killed By Alligator At Indian Reservation
Man Killed By Alligator At Indian Reservation MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. A man who allegedly was fleeing police was attacked and killed by an alligator in a pond. Miccosukee police, assisted by Sweetwater canine units, responded to a call on the Miccosukee Indian Reservation about vehicles being broken into. Police captured one man, but another fled on foot and dove into a retention pond. Signs warned of the danger of live alligators in the pond behind the casino and hotel. Eyewitnesses said they were shouting to the man to swim back to shore. When the man finally spotted the alligator, they say he screamed but then disappeared under the water. The body was recovered Friday by divers 50 feet below at the bottom of the lake. He was bitten on the head several times. The alligator and another smaller one were later trapped and brought to All American Gator in Pembroke Park for inspection by the Miami-Dade medical examiner. > Man Killed By Alligator At Indian Reservation > MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla.

Greg will be along any minute now to tell us how all alligators should be banned.

Well this was according to a bloke at a croc farm up in Broome I went to. I agree that seeing a 5 or 6 m salty basking on the bank does put you off having a swim, although you do see them off the swimming beaches in Darwin. We had a death up in the N Territory yesterday from an animal attack not a salty a jellyfish got the poor kid >> they are in Australia > >Yeah, but ya'll get salt water crocs... Don't make as nice of luggage, but >they are more in tune with Darwin's Master Plan... <evil-grin> Yeah. Ocean Navigator has about 4 reports a year of "yachtsmen" (those of us who sail for fun) taking a swim and being taken. When we were in Oz, we went by a smallish wildlife park outside Sydney (Featherstone's or something like that). They had a roughly 6 metre crock. If I should fall in the water, I WILL BECOME JESUS AND WALK TO LAND.

And removable flash suppressors. Speaking of which, I bought a TTi recoil eliminator for my competition AR the other day. I've not yet had a chance to take it to the range. It was rated number 1 for recoil reduction and number 2 for muzzle flip control in a recent Front Sight (USPSA magazine) article. I can hardly wait to try it out. The design, however, suggests it will be unpleasantly loud for anyone to my right or left. Lee > Speaking of which, I bought a TTi recoil eliminator for my competition AR > the other day.

I had a guy who was a bud of a bud light off an 870 Wingmaster about 20" from my left ear while hunting chuckars. Guy was from Kalifornia. He has a much better understanding of "muzzle discipline" now. >> Speaking of which, I bought a TTi recoil eliminator for my competition AR >> the other day.

Actually, I waited until he was about 300 yards away and then lightly peppered him with birdshot. From the hip. >> >I had a guy who was a bud of a bud light off an 870 Wingmaster about 20" >> >from my left ear while hunting chuckars. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > From the hip.

My best guess is that they plan on checking stomach contents for human remains. Lee Give the gator a medal and another meal... our recent cop killer in SFL. Maybe that would be a deterrent... sentencing killers to "death by gator". (Sorry to offend the Canuks since many of them on on their way to FL to give us their money and avoid the cold) >>:The alligator and another smaller one were later trapped and brought to >>All [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Lee > Give the gator a medal and another meal... our recent cop killer in SFL. What's this?

I got as far as "jumped over the fence" when Carol said "and a gator got him". Crooks are so predictable.

You gotta love it when a simple plan works so well...
