ridiculous. abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous. as a southerner, it's appalling to see another man fined for helping out a woman and child. I've lived up north, and I've lived here in the south, and things are quite a bit different down here when it comes to deferring/being polite/taking care of women and children. As a decent human being, that man did what he should have done. Hell, if it had been here in Texas, the man probably woulda shot the gator, not roped him. It's ass-backwards people like that Hill lady that lead to assenine public policy and idiocy put into law thanks to pointless lobbying. "Man Ropes Gator, Saves Woman and 4 Children"...sounds like we need to consider the gator's feelings in all of it. Jesus. Drop my respect in public officials two notches, raise my respect for common everyday people a notch.
