"Naked man on crack almost a 'gator snack
Thu, November 30, 2006
LAKELAND, FLA. -- Florida sheriff's deputies pulled a naked man from the jaws of a nearly four-metre-long alligator that almost completely severed the man's arm, the sheriff's office said.
Four deputies waded through thick mud about six metres into Lake Parker to find Adrian Apgar, 45, around 4 a.m. yesterday, the sheriff's office said. They were responding to multiple reports about a man screaming for help.
Deputy Billy Osborne said he pulled Apgar's arms while the 'gator gripped the man's lower half and eventually helped pull Apgar free. The deputies said they couldn't shoot the animal because it was too dark and they might have hit the victim.
It was not clear why Apgar was in the water at such an early hour. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Apgar told deputies he had been smoking crack."
So basically 4 deputies risk their lives to rescue a naked crack head after he decided he could wrestle gators like the Crocodile Hunter. Personally, I think they should have just taped the event and used it as part of an anti-drug presentation or sold it as a Pay Per View event. Instead we have good people with families putting themselves in harms way for the drug addled Adrian Apgar the armless alligator antongonist. I bet my tax dollars are going to help put Apgars arm back on... damn it.

A PSA for the kids who are reading:
Smoking crack will not make you wrestle alligators. It'll make you want to curl up on a bed of marshmallows and dream about that next rock. It can provide even the most depressed sad-sack with a momentary feeling of elation. Don't buy into this slander.
Originally posted by darvlayI bow to your superior knowledge. However, the gentleman in question may have been jonesing for a rock and decided that he could kill the alligator and sell it for additional crack funds. Gator tail alone fetches a decent price as a blackened gator appetizer in some restaurants. Personally, I'm in the market for a gator hide codpiece.

But I gotta tell you, every time someone did something stupid, the annotator would say something about the person "being high on crack", as if that was the reason for his/her choices.
Truth of the matter is, most straight people want to blame the reason for society's failure as a person who is on DRUGS! Yeah, they don't want to admit that they live in a society that creates these situations for the poor. They don't want to admit the hunger, pain, unemployment and lives lost due to the greed of others.
