Gator Update (If the Right One Don't Get You, then the Left One Will)

Indiana Teens Shoot, Kill Alligator - Cincinnati News Story - WLWT Cincinnati: "RENSSELAER, Ind. -- Conservation officers said a northwest Indiana teenager shot and killed an alligator about 6 feet long that he and a friend found in the Iroquois River in Jasper County.

Zach Ramsey, who's 17, and 14-year-old Casey Sonaty spotted the reptile Sunday while fishing and spearing frogs along the river near Rensselaer, about 45 miles southeast of Gary.

Officers said the rural Newton County boys couldn't kill the gator with a fishing arrow or frog spears, so they went and got a 12-gauge shotgun, and Ramsay shot it."

Newton County boys. Sounds like a gang either from the old West or "20s and '30s gangster era.

They couldn't just leave well enough alone, could they? Had to go get a gun and kill somethin'.

that's what i woulda done. when i was a teen killin non human life forms was about the most fun i could imagine. i have since grown up since then of course.
"when i was a child i thought as a child, did as a child....." and so on and so forth. i think you all know where I'm going here.

It was good that they killed it before it killed someone else!
