Comments on: Florida Must Act Now: Keep Women 1,000 Feet Away from Alligators

Very funny.

But it is the alligators that belong on the Dangerous Predator Registry. They are the ones who must be Registered and forced to live 1,000 feet away from places where women congregate. Might as well include children in that also.

So where would that be? I guess we should start with parks, beaches, schools, and swimming pools. Where else?

We definitely should also allow private businesses to declare themselves to be “alligator free zones” and tell the alligators that they can’t even go within 1,000 feet of there, ever.

Law enforcement wastes and burns resources doing “compliance checks” on citizens. I’d much prefer they do that on these predators instead. It would have the same public safety effect and they could waste even more resources.

And what about alligator that bit 40 years ago, as in my case. And the alligator was raised up by prosecutors that lied to the crying judge. And the alligator made up stories because her “memory” was faulty. I’m not saying absolutely nothing happened but I never even petted the alligator. So the alligator keeps getting chickens for free and I have to live with the all the silly rules until I die. That is a great story even if it is satire somewhat.

I love the satire, and truly we need some comedic relief in this struggle. Life plays out like some twisted comedy, regrettably.

Oddly, the alligator gets more respect in Florida than we do. Despite the fact that they TRULY ARE a dangerous, apex predator, they can live pretty much wherever they want. Wasn’t there an elderly woman who was killed not long ago by one? Why was there a 10 foot alligator living in the middle of her retirement community? Ahh, I guess alligators have more rights than we do!

Well, at least if we’re banned from being near any bodies of water, we won’t have to worry much about these esteemed creatures in the ever so bright and magnificently intelligent state of Florida.

This story about banning all women from Florida’s waterways because one woman was killed by an alligator isn’t just clever — it’s a brutal indictment of how irrational and unjust our policies have become. And the tragedy is that even a metaphor this obvious won’t wake up the people who need to hear it. We end up sharing this truth only among ourselves, repeating the same indictments year after year while lawmakers and the public do not hear the point.
They would laugh at the absurdity of banning women from water, yet in full public view they support the same level of nonsense when it’s aimed at men and women on the registry. This is where we are: take a disadvantaged group, inflate their threat into a moral panic, and use that panic to justify stripping an entire class of Americans of their Constitutional rights. We’ve seen this pattern before — rewrite it in 1950 and it becomes a chapter from Black America’s history. It’s narrow minded, it’s dishonest, and it’s a direct assault on the Constitution.
But year after year, lawmakers double down. Courts pretend they can’t see the damage. The public cheers for vigilantism as if it’s patriotism. And millions of dollars pour into private institutions, sting operations, entrapment schemes, and an ever expanding maze of restrictions designed to keep people in permanent exile.
Employment blocked. Housing banned. Political participation forbidden. Public officials making defamatory statements to the press with zero accountability. Entire families punished because someone in their household is on a list, a sign is posted on their lawn, and their driver’s license is stamped with a Scarlet A. This isn’t “public safety.” It’s state sponsored humiliation. It’s punishment dressed up as policy. It’s a system built on fear, not facts — and the people who promote it should be held accountable for the harm their rhetoric and ordinances create.
And the most grotesque part? The people being demonized are not the caricatures politicians love to parade around. They are fathers, sons, grandfathers, veterans, former respected members of their communities — human beings who served their sentences, completed their programs, and are trying to rebuild their lives. But instead of being allowed to rejoin society, they’re treated as permanent monsters, as if redemption is impossible and citizenship is conditional.
The metaphor about banning women from waterways exposes the truth: our laws are not built on logic, evidence, wisdom, or justice. They’re built on fear, political theater, and a public conditioned to hate a group of Americans they don’t even know. And until that changes — until there is accountability for irresponsible language, threats, ordinances, and legislation — the cycle of irrational punishment will keep grinding forward. Not because it protects anyone, but because it’s easy, profitable, and politically convenient.

Better yet, if we already had an “alligator registry” in place this woman would still be alive today, right? I mean, aren’t they supposed to leave their lights off beside their lily pads to warn against swimming in that area? I’m outraged that is not the law already. I’m shocked I tell you! Why can’t I download that mean alligator locator app yet?

We needed a pit bull and alligator registry yesterday! Because you know that is the fist line of defense and the “gold standard” in public safety tools! OR… we could just make a “wildlife registry” for all Florida Men and I’m sure that would keep them from hanging out in Waffle House parking lots.
