  1. Dude recording video should be ashamed he doesn’t help. Instead sells video to local news.

  2. What a change for NBC to report an actual news story that has value to the public. Now you can go back to being corrupt Demo propoganda shills for the Biden crime family!!!!

  3. Swamp puppy just a little big.

  4. Great reporting. LOL, "…as if they had delicious cookies for sale…" Smile inducing line, thanks.

  5. THEY NAMED THE GATOR KAREN? OMG!!

  6. I thought scouts were supposed to be prepared. Good job, leaders.

  7. The girls scouts had no cookies but alligator saw cookies 🍪

  8. Is this not common knowledge in Texas. Are Alligators in a Tx lake unusual? How long has this been happening? Why am I always the last to know? Oh..I guess they had no signs posted? Warning: Alligators prefer Girl Scouts not Girl Scout cookies. Thank goodness dey be safe.😮

  9. WE have gators in texas people they are more common in the south of texas though.

  10. Why were they swimming in a lake that is known to have alligators in it?

  11. It's a real life cookie monster!
    GIVE ME COOKIES!

  12. Ah yes remove the Alligator from it's habitat instead of swimming elsewhere. Yet another genius Texan idea!

  13. Nuisance??? They live there. Actually the humans are the real Nuisance sheesh

  14. They were screaming that what made them more curious and the splashing. Do better guys

  15. They named the gator Karen 🫠🫠🫠

  16. LOL They named the Gator Karen 😂

  17. Wait did the troop leader really say that the Gator wasn’t gonna be a Gator if it got close enough to those girls???? I mean he was literally just waiting for the slowest of the group, just like in the wild.

  18. The only reason they are alive is that it was full at that time

  19. Glad none of them got hurt

  20. This would make a wonderful PSA about what not to do.

  21. Why is there a swimming dock in the middle of an alligators yard!

  22. The sign clearly says that ALLIGATORS LIVE HERE. Doesn't ANYONE in that group know how to read?

  23. That woman is not smart enough to be a girl scout leader.

  24. Dang that deserves a new badge by itself!

  25. “Swimming right towards the group as though they had a table of delicious cookies for sale!” Is yummy on so many levels. Seriously tho, I’m glad no one was hurt.

  26. Really good everybody is okay 👌🏼

  27. How about you shut the lake down, for swimming? The lake belongs to the alligators, not people.

  28. what a good sweet wholesome story!

  29. When a sign clearly states that Alligators live there do they really need to add "Go swim in a Pool".?

  30. The thin mints are not going swimming soon 😂

  31. That wasn't an alligator, it was just Guv Abbott out for his swim.

  32. Its disgustin that you have to repeat lester holt after every video begging for subscribers, likes and followers. Im sick and tired of seeing it to the point youve made me hate lester holt. Is nbc going bankrupt that has its anchors acting like teenagers begging for subscribers? Stop it already, people know about subscribing to youtube channels and apps, you dont neet to remember us in every freaking video you upload. I wish I could block this channel so I dont have to see this anymore.
