The world needs more alligator skin boots

[Tarik One]

Any chance we'll see a barrage of protesters against the parents? I doubt it.

[~primetime~]

Wow that's about the worst possible thing new parents could go through.

Take their little boy to Disney World and watch him get eaten by an alligator...:(

That's just awful, I can't even imagine what they are feeling right now.



They should be able to take every penny that park has.

[Im Still Ballin]

Ooh killem.

[Facepalm]

Ban alligators

#notallalligators

[NumberSix]

Is it a Muslim alligator?

[DonDadda59]

Donald J. Dadda is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Alligators entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

[Jasper]

Is it a Muslim alligator?
ISIS recruit

SAD SAD situation ,, feel sorry for parents

[stalkerforlife]

So damn heartbreaking.

[DonDadda59]

But seriously what the hell is going on in Orlando? The happiest place on Earth is looking like the 7th layer of Hell this past week.

[Terahite]

Disney rep said their "thoughts" are with the family. No shit. :facepalm
Politically correct bitch can't say "prayers" too? Maybe they can magically "think" the child back on shore. :durantunimpressed:

That's what we have to figure out.

[rufuspaul]

The entire park is built on a swamp in central Florida. Of course it is full of gators. The times I've been there I've often wondered if a gator has ever gotten into a ride that involves water (small world, pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)

[DCL]

natural selection

[Patrick Chewing]

Stupid parents nowadays can't keep track of their kids. First it's the gorilla and now it's the gator.


Mother nature is weeding out all the losers.


Stalker, you better get your shit together.

[DonDadda59]

Thoughts, prayers, magic- All the same shit. What I want to know is when will the Disney people start calling this what it is- Radical Reptilian Terrorism. Once they utter those 3 magic words, poof, no more alligator attacks in America.

Works like 'Beetlejuice' or 'There's no place like home' :applause:

[rufuspaul]

Turns out this happened at 9:30 p.m. A 2 year old kid should be in bed at that hour, much less wading in a swamp.

[GINOBILI!]

Ban zoos. Not only dangerous, but terrible for the animals.

[~primetime~]

Some of you are actually blaming the parents :facepalm


this place is turning into a joke

[NumberSix]

Some of you are actually blaming the parents :facepalm
It's Florida. Why the hell would you have a small child swimming in Florida swamp water at night?

I don't know that they're to "blame" per se. It's a really bad idea though.

IT'S A CHILDREN'S THEME PARK

Are there warning signs stating that "Alligators come out at night!" ???

Is there a law in Florida saying parents must have kids in bed by 9:30???


just STFU you moron

[~primetime~]

parents should have known better...letting their child run around in a child's theme park like that...:facepalm

You used to have some sense to ya, but I think ya lost it a long time ago.


Being a parent doesn't mean letting your kid roam around unattended. This isn't Wal-Mart.

they were with him...on the 'beach' btw...not like they were in some swampy mangrove trees in the mud...they were with their kid in the shallows of he beach and witnessed it happen...the father was injured trying to save him

[~primetime~]

Disney is going to give these parents millions upon millions upon millions of dollars...this is horrible news for them and their image.

i can already tell you have no common sense. let's hope for your kid's sake that your gold-digger wife does.

You mean my wife that completed her masters not long ago and is now working full time?...that wife?...no she isn't nearly retarded enough to blame parents for an alligator eating their son at a kid's park on the beach.

[Patrick Chewing]

What beach? It says it was a lagoon. And he was playing on the edge.


Sad situation all the way around, but you can't blame the alligators here. If there were signs for gators all around the lagoon and the parents ignored it, then the parents are to blame.

obviously can't blame the gator...blame has to go to Disney for having gators in their beaches where kids play

dude it's florida! there's alligators wondering the streets and this park is on a fcking swamp.

just a week ago or two there was that godzilla looking gator on the golf course in florida...

[highwhey]

"This is Florida, and it's not uncommon for alligators to be in bodies of water," Demings said.

Did you read the article?



There are posted signs warning guests against swimming in the lake, Demings said.

[stalkerforlife]

I live next to a car wash and I saw an alligator in the ditch where all the water is evacuated.

They can pop up anywhere here at anytime.

People that point fingers and run their mouths online should be forced to face the men they deface face to face.

[~primetime~]

ISH...where no one can get raped or beaten or killed without it being their own fault :rolleyes:

[~primetime~]

Did you read the article?
why would they create beaches you can't swim in?

if there are signs saying don't go in the water...then that does make things differet

[~primetime~]

I mean, they are saying the beaches are now closed as though it is common for kids to be in that water...

[nathanjizzle]

the gator is believed to be 4-7 foot long. thats relatively small. could have grabbed the gator and brought it onto shore if the dad could get his hands on it. i think the dad did get his hands on the kid while the gator was pulling him in the water.

[Funktion]

Terrible

[rufuspaul]

No one can prevent accidents but as a parent you have to use some common ****ing sense. I've stayed at another property near that one on the same lagoon. All the resorts on that lagoon have huge pools with slides, waves, fountains, toddler pools, etc. The "beach" areas have places to play volleyball, etc. and there are signs everywhere warning people not to set foot in the lagoon. There's no need to with all the pools. But as is the case everywhere there are people who don't think rules apply to them.

Alligators are a protected species btw.

If there are signs everywhere warning to not set foot in the lagoon, then yeah I guess the parents are at fault...they went into the lagoon when warned not to.

I'm not seeing those signs in the pics though, and it is confusing to me that they would have to close a beach that they already warn people about.

I remember seeing people let their kids splash around in the lagoon and thinking "can't these people read?"

[senelcoolidge]

It's gator mating season so they are in a rage...sorta like ramadan gets muslims in a rage. Very sad situation.

[9erempiree]

Florida is a shithole on so many levels.

The entire state of Florida is just one big swiss cheese.

Like islands that are inhabited with nothing but snakes this state is infested with gators.

[warriorfan]

The 7-to-8-foot reptile grabbed the boy late Tuesday as he was playing in about a foot of water at the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Hotel. His father, who quickly rushed to the boy's aid, could not fend off the alligator and received minor injuries to his hand..

I dont wanna talk shit but dude should of tried harder

[Bosnian Sajo]

I'm not saying it's completely the parents fault, but as a Florida resident I first hand know just how many Gators we have in any kind of body of water, let alone a lagoon/swamp. The fact that Disney decided to make a hotel and beach right next to one is dumbfounding, what did they expect?

Why are they protected?

I'm a Californian and I want to know is there a reason they should be protected? I think they should be killed just like some states allow the killing of wild hogs that infest and breed like roaches.

IIRC Florida did create a hunting season for gators in an effort to control the population.

Come on man...would you let your child splash around in that water? :wtf:

[redhonda76]

Last year I was on vacation at Disney, I did remember seeing signs saying "No Swimming". As a tourist who is not familiar with Florida, alligator never crossed my mind especially inside the Disney Resort. If Disney knew there were gators in their water, they should have put up a sign saying "Warning, do not go to the water due to gators", people would be more cautious.
Horrible tragedy.

[~primetime~]

Come on man...would you let your child splash around in that water? :wtf:
no...I would not lol

have to say, that looks pretty gross



what a retarded place to make beaches..."Welcome to Gator Beach kids!"

[Doctor K]

Some of you are actually blaming the parents :facepalm


this place is turning into a joke

And then...




If there are signs everywhere warning to not set foot in the lagoon, then yeah I guess the parents are at fault...they went into the lagoon when warned not to.


I mean you can say "i didn't know about the signs", makes you look half stupid instead of full stupid since you come here saying sh*it without doing any research like a illiterate idiot, but you actually POSTED the article (while arguing people who think it was parents fault are stupid) that said


http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/15/us/alligator-attacks-child-disney-florida/index.html




"No Swimming" signs are posted at the Disney resort.




Do you realize how much you embarrass yourself these days? I kind of feel bad for your kid for having such a stupid parent...you would be one of those ignorant clueless parents who would have their kids taken away due to natural selection from retard parenting


Do your child if you already have one a favor and leave him at some foster care center.

[~primetime~]

oh God...forgive me for not knowing Disney created beaches were you aren't allowed to swim...:rolleyes:

I made an assumption that seems obvious...and I was wrong, so take my kids away I'm an awful parent

Just read that they were showing a movie outside which explains why the family was on the beach in the first place. Tragic.

So making dumbass assumptions and coming in and talking without any knowledge is just the start of your idiocy in this thread unfortunately.



I didn't mean the whole take away your kids part, but I do mean stop embarrassing yourself and looking like a complete retard in every thread. PLEASE. Is that also too much to ask from you? Don't be stupid? You get embarassed by basketball forum posters i wonder how bad it is in real life when you try to have a conversation

Sorry I called you a moron okay NumberSix, I take it back.

Minor injuries???? :biggums: What kinda terrible father is this, that he only sustained minor injuries trying to save his 2 year old?

If you have the alligator in your grasp, you better bring back your kid or die trying. Weak era for parenting.

[Nastradamus]

Disney rep said their "thoughts" are with the family. No shit. :facepalm
Politically correct bitch can't say "prayers" too? Maybe they can magically "think" the child back on shore. :durantunimpressed:

You disgust me

[Nastradamus]

No swimming usually doesn't mean you might get eaten by a ****in' alligator. Get a grip people.

Well its only a 2 year old kid, even if hes dead the father can just fu ck his wife again to make another baby. But if the father himself is dead, the family is doomed completely. It will be a different story though if the parents are too old to bear another child.

[~primetime~]

wow, body was found completely intact

I guess that might help the grieving just a tiny bit...knowing he didn't get eaten alive.

Still just awful obviously

no I doubt his body was whole .. gaters drag drown , eat some , come back later....
They might of found a arm , leg or part of body.

Disney is going to give these people millions. I feel really bad for them. Awful situation.

The body of the boy, Lane Graves, was found intact about 1:45 p.m., not far from where the boy was grabbed Tuesday night, Demings said.

[n00bie]

To all the people saying they were bad parents, can you please explain?

They had "no swimming" signs, but the toddler was just walking around the shore.

Also, who the hell expects alligators to be inside a Disney Resort??

A lot of times an alligator will drown its prey and then stash it under a rock or tree roots and come back and eat it later.
