  1. The ocean ๐ŸŒŠ Is Done For โœ… Pool ๐ŸŠ Is the best place to be at these times

  2. Even sharks are having trouble making ends meet with this inflation… thanks Biden

  3. Either God made the shark, and is cool with this happening, or ya know, it was just how nature works, no deities included… but stop saying God was with him, and Jesus helped save him.

  4. Shark bite ๐Ÿฆˆ
    Shark gon bite ๐Ÿฆˆ
    Shark bit ๐Ÿฆˆ
    OW

    SHARK BITE ME
    SHARK HURT OW

  5. ๐ŸŒธso sorry. Praying for u

  6. why can't we just have Universal healthcare and screw go fund me

  7. it's shark week just stay out til it's over

  8. Stay the f*** out of the ocean! Its not hard! Don't swim in salt water! My heart goes out to the little boy especially. ๐Ÿ˜”

  9. There were numerous warnings about increased shark attacks โ€ฆwtf was he out there? What is wrong with his parents?!

  10. Very sorry some of these people suffered injuries but so glad everyone reported on here is alive. Still all the opportunity in the world for full happy lives and no one lost their loved ones.

  11. I will pray for strength for this little guy. Thank God heโ€™s alive.

  12. They blame covid for everything

  13. It's a savage world in the ocean

  14. Even the beasts of the ocean are angry. Animals are also retaliating. Can you blame them? When they feel and hear detonations of missiles in the water where they should be peaceful. I pray for this young kid. God was with him.

  15. Sharks are not endangered, come to bahamas and you will very quickly realise we need to control these species. We can harvest 50% and there will still be to much.

  16. Shark attacks on the rise.

  17. Y'all keep swimming with Jaws. Not me.

  18. 2 sharks i hate the most n bullssharts are onr of them

  19. Extremism? There is nothing more extreme than letting people loot and riot during a pandemic; and letting cross dressers read sexualized stories to grammar school children. What NBC calls "extremism" most people call "Western Civilization".

  20. Stop swimming in the ocean/sea. Shark attacks are on the rise. Please be safe everyone.

  21. Poor kid. I'm happy it wasn't worse

  22. Stay out of the ocean. You donโ€™t belong there .

  23. Lived in Florida for a few years. The ocean and its creatures are not to be taken lightly. Was never attacked by a shark but was carried out to sea by a rip tide and I almost drowned. Wish you a speedy recovery lil man!

  24. Do you know how to avoid sharks? Stay out of the fking ocean

  25. Thankful that his family slowed the loss of blood . This young man will recover just fine with this good family behind him.

  26. Prayers for this boy. As unfortunate as this attack is the normal human reaction is to go hunt sharks, hopefully this will not be the case because you shouldn't condemn and entire population of sharks for this incident.

  27. Tell this kid and his parents "but it rare" …. SMACK!
    everything in the ocean is telling you to stay the fk out… but ya know…humans ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  28. I hope a young vet or athlete, with the same injury reaches out to help him through this and be his mentor!Being exposed to others who have learned how to adapt and stay active will surely keep him motivated ,to fulfill all his dreams . God Bless him, and his family is in my prayers.๐Ÿ’•You got this buddy!๐Ÿ’•

  29. Sharks are probably sick of us throwing are garbage in their environment.

  30. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ž

  31. I hate sharksssss just hate them

  32. Why do people swim or put their children in the ocean knowing all the deadly creatures ( including deadly bacteria) ?
    Would these same people put their kids in the Amazon jungle?

  33. Do idiots still get in the salt water?

  34. Paddle boarding with Dogg ๐Ÿ˜‚ like a big fishing lure IDIOTS ๐Ÿ˜‚
