An amazing, or amazingly lucky, homeless man paraded through downtown Jacksonville, FLA recently wearing
around his neck, a large rattlesnake for a scarf/good-luck charm. Several skittish onlookers called police.
From a distance of a good 20 feet the officers asked the man 'What the Hell are you doing"?
"I found the snake this morning and God told me it would be a good luck charm against getting hit by cars," he placidly informed the cops.
The snake rested quietly on the man's neck while he
spoke to the officers who freely admitted being scared to death of the rattler.
"Would you please put it in the back of the Police Cruiser," somebody asked politely.
The homeless man gently lifted the snake from
his shoulders and set it down on the back seat of the car until Animal Control came for it later.
A strange but true story out of Florida, Feb. 20, 2019.
The homeless man was not charged. He calmly went on his
way, probably to chum around with some alligators - even though the city is in the Northern part of the state, there are at least 272 alligators in town.
Here's the photo of the Animal Control Officer removing the snake from the cruiser. As you can plainly see, the Rattler is at least five or six feet long, maybe more!
