FLORIDA MAN PUNCHES SWAN

A 59-year-old man was arrested at Lake Eola, Florida, for punching a swan over the weekend. Two off-duty officers were walking through the park and stopped to watch a swan and her babies around 7 p.m. Sunday. Then, a man later identified as Sor Angel Velez walked between the off-duty officers and the swan. The swan reached out toward Velez as if it were defending its babies. The officers said they saw Velez walk about 10 feet farther, then turn around and walk back toward the swan before punching the bird. Police said the man began to run but he was caught by the two off-duty officers. Velez was arrested on suspicion of injuring wildlife on public property. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 10 days in jail.
* Cops just stopping to watch the swans. It could happen.
* The swan should have ducked.
* The second he punched the swan, his goose was cooked.
* As far as his career of injuring wildlife goes, this was his swan song.
* Punching it right in front of its babies? That’s just mean.
* “Sor Angel Velez”? Don’t tell Trump!
* “We’re letting in drug dealers, criminals, and swan punchers!”
* The swan, by the way, was reportedly delicious.
* Pick on something your own size like one of those gators down there.
* Lake Eola? Sorry, it sounds too much like Lake Ebola.
* It’s a cruel act, but if it helps the other animals stay in line we all benefit.
* Why doesn’t Bob Barker ever go after guys like this?
