Meanwhile in Florida

Man I joke about most anything but losing a 2 yr old is just sickening. And watching it go down. How do you shake that visual.

I dont know how anyone finds it in em to make light of that situation. I think I woulda drowned trying to save my kid. Im going in and likely going down with the gator and my child. Im almost sure of it. they said 4-7 footer so there was a 1% chance.

 

that is well stated and said subject needed to be put in perspective which helps clarify what we've become. a pile of shit do nothing people who sit back and criticize any of those who actually do. either get busy living or get busy dying.

btw we arent piling on you bb, just a subject that needed to be broached on every corner of the interwebs.

 

There is literally no force on the planet that keeps me out of that fight.

 

The father tried but still couldn't save his son. They said the gator was 4 to 7 feet. Big difference. I might be able to fight a 4 footer long enough to lit a kid get away but a 7 footer would probably get us both

 

Remember the story about the kid at Gulf Shores who got his arm bitten off by a shark? His uncle wrestled the shark up to the beach and the recovered the arm and doctors sewed it back on. That was maybe 16 or 17 years ago. I never heard an update about whether he recovered full use of his arm.

 

Like @tirk said, I'm going in I don't care if it's 4' or 24' no way I just stand there. Yes I know the dad went in. Maybe he didn't eat enough breakfast who knows. Just saying, I become a gator wrassler if it grabs my kids.

 

No doubt...

 

Parenting is a constant opportunity to fuck up. The best intentions still sometimes yield horrible results. I learned very early that every time I ever criticized another parent, it was only a matter of time before my own children proved what an idiotic parent I could be. There but for the grace of God go I.
