fish9 Police find cache of weapons, drugs, explosives and alligators in San Francisco home

It's a tough, tough world out there, and getting tougher.

Police discover cache of weapons, drugs, explosives and alligators in San Francisco home
Quote:
.... police discovered three alligators in a fish tank in the room where the guns were stored. While prosecutors said Leon possessed the reptiles illegally, he has not been charged with a crime in relation to the alligators.
If they outlaw alligators, only outlaws will have alligators.

Is that an alligator in your pocket, or your handbag?

Alligators, once grown to a certain size, can be very useful in helping to eliminate certain types of "evidence" which a gang member may come to possess.

Reminds me a bit of the crazies in San Francisco who had a fireworks factory in the garage underneath their home in a dense residential section of the city, not too far from where we lived. The inevitable happened: they took out half a block of houses and left a crater in one lane of 19th Avenue. the explosion rattled our windows. The good news: only the fireworks guys were killed; no neighbors were killed or injured as the explosion happened on a work day afternoon.

Maybe we need an alligator registry to prevent stuff like this from happening.

Gun runner, drug dealer and handbag/shoe/suitcase manufacturer. I guess one needs to keep one's options open in case a career doesn't work out.

What. No white cat? Dude needs one of those, so he can stroke it while he laughs evilly and orders his henchman to throw you in the alligator pit.

Alligator probably ate the cat.
