new arc just dropped: clavicular is now allegedly charged with shooting at an alligator

per an abc7 los angeles report from october 3rd, clavicular is now facing charges related to allegedly shooting at an alligator. this is a separate matter from the massachusetts rape and drugging case that has been dominating coverage for the past two weeks.

chat, the timeline is doing something.

the abc7 piece does not specify where the alleged incident took place or what charges exactly were filed, but the headline is real and it is sitting there on google news like a perfectly normal sentence about a person who exists.

reactions online are splitting pretty cleanly into a few camps. one portion of the internet is pointing out that this is a second unrelated criminal matter on top of everything else, and that the sheer accumulation is becoming its own kind of story. several people in various threads are simply posting the headline with no comment, which is correct behavior.

another portion is focused on the alligator specifically. the animal did not ask to be in this lore. multiple people have noted that shooting at an alligator is also, depending on jurisdiction, a wildlife crime entirely distinct from the interpersonal charges already on the docket. a personal legal portfolio expanding in real time.

there is a third camp that is asking whether this is somehow connected to the cape cod mansion, the miami civil case, the fishtank footage, or any of the prior reported context, and the answer per available reporting is: unclear. abc7 is not linking it to those threads. it is just. a separate thing.

some commenters are noting the timing relative to the october 3rd fishtank bootcamp video surfacing, as if the week needed more texture. others are pointing out that the original fox 7 austin and national news desk rape charge coverage from september 22nd is still circulating fresh on news aggregators, meaning new audiences are encountering the original charges at the exact same moment as this new headline, which is a specific kind of bad look to land in.

the alligator remains unavailable for comment.

anyway. the gator was just trying to exist in a swamp somewhere and now it's footnote three in a wikipedia article.
