How Crime Kills

So, some guy on the Miccosukee Indian reservation was breaking into cars when noticed by police. As you probably know, all Indian reservations are autonomous, which means they are self-governed, and have their own police force (and I could have fun with THAT, but I digress).

So guy breaking into cars gets noticed by the cops, and runs into a retention pond. Apparantly, he disturbed the meal of a pretty big alligator, who wasn't quite thrilled about that, and promptly bit the man on the head and dragged him 50 under water. Needless to say, the man died.

Now, they trapped and killed the alligator, because under state law, any gator that bites and/or ingests a human must be destroyed and not consumed as tasty gator tail nuggets (tastier chicken and baby cow nuggets, even).

That's lunacy, I say. The state should be offering this vigilante reptile a job, either as a police chief, or even to be the new face for "Take a Bite out of Crime". In fact, we could probably throw this gator into the Democratic presidential race, and then we could all rest better knowing there is at least ONE tough candidate on their ballot.
