A homeless man was found dead with his arm torn off and body mutilated at a park in Largo Florida.

Quote:
The victim’s mutilated corpse was found missing an arm on a lake bank by somebody walking the park at around 8 a.m.


What's disturbing about this story is that, he made extra money retrieving frisbees for people who play disc golf at the park. He goes into the alligator infested waters to retrieve frisbees and the people pay him for it:

Quote:
Cozzie said disc golfers preferred using their professional frisbees rather than the cheap stuff and typically welcomed their equipment being returned by the victim.

I blame these disc golfers who knows that he's going into the water to retrieve these frisbees for them.

That's the REAL Ultimate Frisbee.

Frisbees were a kind of pie back East in the Boardwalk Empire days. People used to throw the aerodynamic metal tins they came in which had FRISBIE stamped onto the bottom, hence the name Frisbee, w/ 2 Es. Learned that not too long ago. Fun fact. Byyyy WHAM-O!...

I thought this story was a croc of sh from a tabloid at first, but then I learned it was true and that there wasn't even a fence that he would've scaled to get into the lake. Their safety policy had no teeth. C M B must find this situation reminiscent of the 2 yr old boy who caiman to the lake at Disney World a few years ago.

C M B, you cloaca!

I caiman for the kill. Not a lot of croc quips available, so I didn't wanna shortarm any of my references.

Why didn’t the police arrest the corpse for loitering? Or the gator for disturbing the pieces? If you are what you eat, is the gator now homeless? Lots to chew on.

In all seriousness, it really sucks (not bites you soulless aholes!) that the guy got killed and probably because he was being used by yuppie douches. Life is hard enough on the street.

You came striking at us like a water moccasin there. But yuppies unfort are not only quick to preserve their own lives, but they're also quick to preserve the dryness of their golf shoes and pant cuffs. We all would prefer that it was a guy in a pink shirt who smoked cigars as a way of looking bougie getting death rolled as the other gators tore pieces off of him. But gators may not go for the cigar and fancy micro-brew taste that infuses their flesh. They'd probably spit a yuppie out.

I'm interested to see the beast that did this. Late, great Steve-O Irwin called American gators frogs with teeth compared to saltwater crocs (true), but occasionally, you see clips of primordial monster alpha gators crossing streets and golf courses, etc. Odds are heavily on a large, adult male. For a gator to even attempt ambushing prey as big as a human, that's a big ass alpha gator (who moderates the pond).

I dunno if they found the body, but what a gator/croc would do would be to drag it down to the bottom and snag it on something next to its lair. Lest the gator was hungry at the time of the kill, crocodillians generally wait til the food is softer. They probably have little to no taste buds and no gag reflex which helps them to consume meat from a dead hippo's rectum. I've seen this. Also a tractor bucket full O' ratz.

Grub's on, boys! Come and get em! That's actually good for them because they are getting the gut flora from the in-tact rats instead of dressed meat parts. Better Bucket O' Ratz than a Porterhouse.
