A massive alligator caused quite a stir in Fort Myers this week when it decided to tour a local neighborhood—lawn chair stuck on its head and all. The ten-foot reptile marched right up to front porches, giving residents an unexpected wildlife encounter. Lee County deputies sprang into action, teaming up with a state trapper to safely remove the nuisance gator before it could damage property or harm families.
This wasn’t some lazy afternoon stroll—the gator bulldozed through patio furniture like it owned the place. Bodycam footage shows brave law enforcement officers cornering the beast as it lurked near a home’s entrance. While liberals might cry about “animal rights,” our deputies prioritized protecting everyday Americans from a dangerous predator.
The trapper’s quick work highlights why Florida needs skilled professionals, not government bureaucrats, handling these situations. With steady hands and decades of experience, he secured the gator’s jaws and hauled it off for relocation. Common sense wins again—no woke “dialogue with nature” nonsense here, just effective solutions.
Let’s not ignore the comedy: this gator wore a lawn chair like a badge of honor. Some joked it was “auditioning for patio decor,” but the reality isn’t funny. Mating season has these reptiles roaming farther into communities, and weak environmental policies aren’t keeping them in check.
This follows recent monkey sightings in nearby neighborhoods—another sign of Florida’s wildlife management crisis. While activists whine about “habitat protection,” hardworking folks just want safe streets. When critters invade backyards, it’s law enforcement—not tree-hugging regulators—who clean up the mess.
Tax dollars actually at work: the trapper’s fee is a small price to keep families safe. Contrast that with bloated federal programs wasting millions on snail studies and rainbow-crosswalk projects. Florida shows how local heroes get results without D.C.’s red tape.
Sheriff Carmine Marceno’s team deserves praise for handling this “porch pirate” swiftly. In Biden’s America, even gators seem bolder—but in Florida, we don’t coddle predators. Deputies did what needed doing: protect the people, remove the threat, no apologies.
Next time some coastal elite mocks our way of life, remember: while they’re virtue-signaling about climate change, real Americans are solving real problems. This gator saga proves—again—that freedom-loving communities don’t need big government to keep them safe. Just common sense, courage, and a good pair of boots.
