GinBoy2 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Weird doesn't quite cut it. So he picked up the gator, then had in in the car with him while he drove to the Wendy's (hope he put a seat belt on it), then somehow manhandled it from inside his car to toss it into the window. The mind boggles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Alligators are pretty docile compared to crocodiles. Sure, they'll bite and even kill under the wrong circumstances. They are more likely to try to get away from a person than to attack. This one was far too young and small to be the big threat. If that was a croc it would worry the heck out of me but as it is, I'd come up to a small one like that from behind and pick it up if I needed to. Apparently the guy who threw it was handling it. Cheers. Edited February 10, 2016 by NeverSure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyoldman Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Had to have been a practical joke. Guaranteed his buddies worked there and put him up to it. You do crazy sh*t when you're around those college years,we used to use a large sized surgical tubing slingshot on our roof to bomb the fraternity houses a block over with rotten eggs,pee filled water balloons,occasional unlucky frog etc.....

nemrut Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 This is what's scary about living in the US. Too many have this 'I'll do whatever the <deleted> i want mentality' with little regard for others, resulting in the craziest, most inexplicable events occurring often for entertainment and it only devolves from there.
