Because Croc lives matter!
News of a 15 year old Florida girl being tree'd by a 11 foot alligator, which was then shot by a deputy sheriff with a and I stress that the media emphasized, "an AR-15 style rifle".

And I can just see some SJWs having a coronary that a 'Horrible weapon used in recent mass killings was used'.
So yeah, this was a moral imperative. Color work by co-conspirator

Remember, this is humor...Arr Arr!

the article doesnt specify what caliber the rifle was and after doing a bit of looking around they can be chambered in anything ranging from .22 lr to .50 bmg according to this page
granted the .50 bmg version changes it from a select fire set up to a bolt action but thats besides the point

I bet he drives a Chevrolet movie theatre. :P

Now, if only that particular gator could have snacked on someone else more deserving... ;)

Actually, they're silent and sneaky. Since they're so low to the ground, they can pass through low undergrowth without being seen and be on you in seconds. A friend moved to West Palm Beach, and several of the bloody-minded beasts live it the pond in the center of his development. No one has been bitten -- yet.
of course, they are sneaky. and I heard almost impossible to sense motive from.
I remember that Miami Vice series and that Don Johnson had a gator on his boat as a watchdog, and everybody said that was fiction because a grown gator was way too dangerous and impossible to reliably tame.
if you ever get fed up with sneaky bastards, move to middle europe. the most poisonous things are unfortunate spiders that get caught in banana packages while harvest, and when they emerge at a german supermarket they are pissed beyond boundaries... even cross spiders are only dangerous when you are allergic. or arachnophobic.

Lovely. A noxious, introduced species.
Here in Connecticut, we have Black Widow spiders who can, if they don't kill you outright, cripple you for years. We also have a charming arachnid known as the Brown Recluse, whose necrotizing venom will continue causing debilitating injuries and gangrene (think, untreated leprosy) weeks after the initial bite. And the bite is so minor that the victim may never notice it. I have killed one Brown Recluse and two Black Widows in my basement.
We also have Rattlesnakes and Copperhead snakes. An encounter with either will ruin your day.

yeah. good thing they don't survive german winters. meanwhile authorities are at least marginally trained to recognize and handle them spiders.
the northern-murrican giant hogweed is another thing. landscape gardeners hate them with a passion; you have to rip them out before they fully blossom, and in the wee hours of the morning, because any spilled juice on your skin will cause 3rd degree burns with UV light... I watched them doing this one morning on an unused area down main street.
compared to this people like raccoons and murrican river crabs are a mere nuisance. XD
but yes, you have a good number of dangerous citizens. even the giant silk spider is tame compared to it. or the european house spider, tall enough to cover your hand with their legs, but only agressive if you hurt them.

Yep -- I've been bitten twice by Wolf Spiders, and both times I got a nasty infection, but they're not toxic.
I'm more concerned about a different invasive species. When I was younger (and I'm so old now), Connecticut never saw a bear. Now a week doesn't go by that someone doesn't capture a Black Bear (Ursus americanus) on their iPhone somewhere in the State. The juvenile bears seem to like the large parking lots (and the food waste people toss out of their cars), but everyone knows teenagers love the Mall...

ha! our wolf spiders are the size of a dime and can't get through human skin if they wanted... once encountered a male full of adrenaline from the mating (and missing one leg), and it turned around and tried to drive it's teeth home. and all I felt was the hit.
some balkan countries have the very same problem with their bears; they get their waste containers raided all day. and that happens even in the big cities' cores...
meanwhile, germany has more and more wolves wanderign in from eastern europe. whi,e tryign to hide from humans and make a living some wander all across germany, and it seems some individuals are more curious and less shy than it's good for them... and they assume those where the ones humans made dogs out of in the beginning.

In Idaho, that little shithead who went on a rampage with a knife is being charged with murder, since the 3 year old little girl he sliced at died.
I posted to one of my favorite anti-gun freaks, (she wants police and soldiers disarmed,) "Should we ban all knives too?"
Dead silence.

Ah. Um. Wouldn't normally comment on this, but oh dear, this is a bit tone-deaf. Do you not see the visual metaphor you've created here? If you wanted the figure to satirise the 'offended liberal' type, a better idea would have been something like a bunny, something fuzzy and small that the alligator would prey on. The joke would probably work better.
Instead, in a story about an alligator being shot, by using the same species wearing *that* shirt slogan, you've accidentally introduced to it the comparison of the black man being a dangerous predator governed by instinct that can't control himself and needs to be protected from with superior force, and thus lost the initial point in a major way.
No, I'm not saying you're a racist. I'm sure this was an honest slip-up from simply not thinking the joke through. it happens from time to time with everyone.

PS. Glad to see so far that a bunch of viewers aren't jumping on my case and thus aren't derailing the cartoon further from what they know to be its intended point. But yes; I do think a better way to have conveyed it would have been to keep the same dialogue but lose the shirt slogan, make the figure a bunny, and have a croc sneaking up on the bunny about to eat him, and thus showing the futility of the bunny's outrage. Better satire, stays on message, and couldn't be misinterpreted.
Funny how if that gator had worn a button with a swastika on it, the picture would have been removed, and you would likely have been suspended if not banned.
However, put on a hammer and sickle, a symbol which is responsible for ten times the number of innocent deaths of it's own citizens, and that's somehow A-OK.

Well, most pro-marxists will constantly bleat that "Real" Marxism has never actually been tried—never allowed an actual chance, blah blah blah...
No political theory has been eagerly fished out of the sewers, given a bath and a shave and a new coat of paint to 'rescue' it more times than Marxism has. Likewise, there seems to be this idea that utterly refuses to die, that to be a true intellectual, one must embrace Marxist theory. X.x

Grew up in Florida. Have NO sympathy for 'gators. At. All.
Had a neighbor walk out to his screened-in pool patio one morning to find a bull gator in the shallow end sunning himself on the pool steps. It was the dry season and the river near our development got too low for the reptile's taste. Where does a mature male go when he wants to stay cool and wet?
Anywhere he wants to.
He didn't even notice the screen when he spied the pool.
Animal opened his mouth...wide...and hissed. A bull's hiss has about the same effect on a surprised human as a lion's roar has on a gazelle. "Oh f**k Ohf**k Oh f**k Oh f**k Oh f**k (sounds of bowels loosening) Oh f**k Oh f**k Oh f**k!!!"
Fish and Game came and fetched him out.
Got our attention.
Weapon of choice? Anything just under the size that would knock me down when I fired it. And DO NOT aim for the head...like it as not, the bullet will bounce off.

A buddy of mine who lived in central Florida had a pet gator named Oscar. He acquired Oscar pretty much as a hatchling, sure Oscar bit him good the first couple times when little. Even baby gators have sharp pin teeth. But after about a month Oscar wouldn't bite him and as he got older, you could handle him pretty much like an iguana.
He even took Oscar for rides on his motorcycle, fashioning a special harness he'd attach to the gator and Oscar would ride behind him looking like he was a natural rider. The Tampa zoo would use Oscar as a training/teaching gator since he was incredibly mellow. Oscar had his own pond in Rick's yard in back and during the colder nights, would spend the nights in Rick's home, usually sleeping on a oversized dog bed. Rick fed Oscar fresh fish, chickens , rats, squirrels and the occasional pig parts. Oscar also loved marshmellows as a treat.
Sadly Rick passed away from Lymphoma in 2007 and Oscar became a resident of the Tampa zoo, still used as a teaching gator last I heard in 2009.
