An 84-year-old woman in Florida saved her own life after punching an aggressive alligator in the face last week.North Fort Myers resident Dolores Boppel, 84, was taking her dog on a walk when the two encountered a gator on Thursday evening. Boppel had thrown her dog, a Shih Tzu, in the air as soon as the reptile began lunging at her.
She told local outlet WBBH that she was bitten in her legs and fingers before she sucker-punched the alligator, causing it to retreat. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office shared bodycam footage of the aftermath of the attack with Fox News Digital.
“She was walking the dog out here and she said it come [sic] running full speed at her,” a witness said in the footage. “She chucked the dog, and saved her dog.”

‘Legs flailing out of the trunk’: Florida man wearing ankle monitor attempts kidnapping in Walmart parking lot, police say
David Harris
Police in Orlando, Florida, arrested a man wearing an ankle monitor who allegedly tried to kidnap a woman in a Walmart parking lot.Officers with the Orlando Police Department responded around 4:30 p.m. Monday to a Walmart on South Goldenrod Road near Market Place Drive for an armed robbery and attempted kidnapping. Police say the suspect, 54-year-old Juan Marcos Perez, was pacing the parking lot before approaching the victim. Perez pulled out a knife and held it to the woman’s throat before forcing her into the trunk of her car, according to cops.
According to a probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by local Fox affiliate WOFL, the victim tried to fight back.
“If you keep this up, I’ll slice your throat,” Perez allegedly told the victim.
Police said a bystander intervened and Perez ran away. The witness later told cops she saw the victim’s “legs flailing out of the trunk” and Perez trying to push her in, the affidavit reportedly said. The witness stopped her car and got out to see if the woman needed help. That’s when Perez reportedly ran off.

Ms Boppel bopped the ‘gator good.
Nice boppin’ m’am.
Now let’s find out your weight class and set you up a match in the ring.
Juan Marcos Perez….
Any bets what part of the world he’s from?
Hint: it ain’t Canadia, and most likely ain’t the US of A.
Soooooo……..let’s send him back in the direction of his homeland.
BRING UP THE TREBUCHET!!!
Oh and BZ darlin’, for fighting back. Bring every possible weapon to bear. Even if it’s just feets.
Somethin’ wrong with the gun p0rn linkie. It keeps sending me to the previous page of KamalToe vs PDJT.
‘Course, it could be my Kindle, it’s been acting somewhat wonkie in its old age.
Nothing wrong with your end Tox. Fixed, thanks.
That’s a bad ass granny. Do not be late for any event she invites you to.
Two (2) less reptiles preying on society…a gator and a snake. Turn the gator into a nice pair of boots and deport the snake.
“Aim small…miss small…”
“Too hot to handle?” Guilty as charged!
We like our wildlife down here in Florida. Instead of making boots out of them, we just feed the undesirables to them….!
