We have lot’s of paranormal and crypto related events
that happen alot in IL esp. near Chicago.

Right on.

Children? He had children that were being attacked by this minnow of an alligator? Missed that. 3ft alligator… killed it with an iron bar. This man is clearly a hero of epic proportions.

It surely could have eaten one of those kids’ pet hamsters.

“Adamski moved faster, but then he began to worry about a child being attacked by the nearly 3-foot reptile.” A child. Not his child. A random child. If that alligator were to find one. Hypothetically. But not that it were capable of killing any child… or that any child were actually present. Read the article.

He battered a harmless creature to death with a metal pole. Roll over, Hercules. You’ve been outdone.

The alligator was, according to the report, “almost three feet long”. I have experience with reptiles, and believe me, a three-foot alligator couldn’t kill anything bigger than a chihuahua. Certainly not a child. When it charged him, it was merely bluffing. Small alligators use such intimidation tactics to make larger animals think that they are more dangerous than they are. I was once ‘charged’ by a hatchling alligator barely a foot long tail and all!

And no, he didn’t need to learn to co-exist with it, it isn’t native to the area and should have been removed.

I’m not sure if that’s the silliest quote ever or the most infuriating. An alligator is a predator, in fact the top predator of the southern swamps. Does Tom Miller expect that Mister Adamski should have learned to co-exist with this animal after being charged by the creature? He did the right thing by killing that alligator if he had the slightest concern that his children were in danger.

This story reminds me of the fellow who released the Gabon Viper in Portland, Maine last winter. There’s nothing sweet, compelling, or enlightened about turning OOP animals (especially predators) free to do their own thing.

I know Tom Miller wouldn’t approve but Adamski did the right thing.
