Why are people so stupid?? This is what I asked myself after I read a news report from Florida.
A 18 year old white male thought that it would be a great idea to go for a night swim in a canal that feeds into lake Okeechobee. Now this teen admits to drinking, but says that the group he was with had stopped drinking beer before 6 p.m. and that the group had at least one person that had not been drinking at all. The teen claims that at the time when he entered the water for his 2am swim nobody was intoxicated at all.
Ok I don't know about you, but when I was a teen and was out with my friends and we had beer there was no way in hell that we were going to stop drinking at 6pm. Unless we had ran out of beer. So I hate to say it but this teen is a liar. Sorry now back to the story.
As the teen dive into the canal at 2am which he knows was infested with alligators he didn 't notice the gators in the water. As the teen swam across the canal an 11 feet alligator clamped down on his left arm and tore it from the teens body. The teen managed to swim back to shore were his friends called 911.
Ok so what makes this story stupid. It isn't the fact that someone got hurt, I feel bad for the teen I really do. The teen says that it isn't his felt he was drinking or that he was stupid enough to go swimming at night in an area that he knew had gators in it. But instead he is blaming the loss of his arm on the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for not properly controlling the alligator population.
