Really more like the rough hide of justice.

A burglar over in Broward County was running from the cops, jumped in
a lake and got away. A few days later they found him, dead and half
eaten by an alligator.


Saw that. Damn big alligator. Wonder it left any parts of the guy floating around.


Gators don't usually eat a big meal. Sometimes they will just kill
something and save the whole thing for later. They usually try to
stuff it up under a log so it won't float away but in a manicured lake
like that there may not have been any handy dead trees.

In most gator attacks on humans, they just rip an arm or leg off,
counting on he victim to bleed to death and they go looking for them
later. Occasionally the victim does but, usually they get medical
attention and recover ... a little "stumpy"

This guy drown so either he couldn't swim missing whatever the gator
ate or the gator may have just went looking for a log and dragged him
along underwater.
There was still plenty left over for later tho.
