Somebody already did it before. Per article, back in 1993. They got that guy. Class 3 felony and $11,000 fine. If they find whoever did it this time, the charge and fine they'd be looking at won't be funny. Felony conviction also means goodbye guns for life. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.
We live in Arkansas and when we saw this we said the same. It’s not funny — I mean vandalism. But it is also hilarious and Johnny would have definitely got the joke.
I'm not sure if they make the towers the same way they do up here, but ours are about 1/2" steel plate coated in ceramic/epoxy on both sides. If its the same material, that must have been a hell of a shot.
They store extra water in a way that provides consistent pressure. That way the pumping / filtration only needs to be able to handle average demand instead of peak demand. Also if the pumps go down temporarily there is still usable water.
All these news stories on it will guarantee somebody does it again after they patch it.
Yeah, they are gonna have to paint that tower.
Put a couple 2 inch hardened steel plates on johnnys crotch?

Johnny Cash would have found this funny as hell.

It's really funny until your water bill goes up to pay for it.
I don't care about your damn yellow buzzards!
Oh believe me it's fucking hilarious 🤣
Idk, he probably would be pissed!
[удалено]
BILLY MAYS HERE! (fixed it)
Idk man, that's a lot of damage.
Or, depending on how much water this uses, declare it a fountain.
"SLAP THAT ON WITH THE MIGHT OF ZEUS! It's not a fucking miracle worker!"
I hear the community there is pretty upset by this. If I lived there, I’d be pissed too.
Seems like they got themselves a weee bit of a problem.
In drought stricken California we’d fucking kill you for this.
Lead in drinking water sounds fun.
Same! I am curious how they fix it.
“I hear the community there is pretty pissed off by this. If I lived there, I’d be pissed on too.”
Pissed off? Looks like pissed on…
Maybe they shot it just to watch it die.
drew a bead on it, to practice their aim
Wrong city
I’m sure that’s not great for the community but damn it’s funny and well placed.
The repair costs will be even funnier /s that'll get passed along to the community
How difficult would a shot like that be? I'm assuming somebody did this fairly quickly so as not to get caught.
Easy, climb tower, make hole
I'm not sure if they make the towers the same way they do up here, but ours are about 1/2" steel plate coated in ceramic/epoxy on both sides. If its the same material, that must have been a hell of a shot.
Not terribly if you're gun was probably sighted.
Bullets move pretty quickly from what I’ve been told.
Butters,you can’t just go around shooting guys in the dick!
This is why we can’t have nice things.
That’s a beautiful shot 😂
How high's the water, momma?
I’ve leaked everywhere man, leaked on this hear town man, I’ve leaked everywhereeeee.
I guess that leak would be useful in putting out a ring of fire.
This was probably the reason they shot it in the first place.
I mean that’s pretty funny. How does it not happen all the time though?
Generally small towns are super prideful about whatever makes them notable, and something like this is a great way to get your ass beat by the locals.
The upcoming TikTok water tower shooting challenge will change all that.
[удалено]
Nope. Just a crazy train.
Lead in the water folks
Shot a water tower in Kingsland just to watch it cry.
Didn’t this happen a few days ago? I could’ve sworn I saw something about it on
It was on like 20 subs two days ago.
This is not right….but, it’s objectively funny.
🎶I piss everywhere, man🎶
I shot a man in Kingsland, just to watch him piss!
I think he woulda liked that.
Right!
I am probably missing something but why are water towers an active part of water systems anyway?
Gravity for water pressure
They store extra water in a way that provides consistent pressure. That way the pumping / filtration only needs to be able to handle average demand instead of peak demand. Also if the pumps go down temporarily there is still usable water.
Seconded. What makes them better than say an inground tank or something else?

Although it is funny, I would not recommend that anyone else try and pull of this same stunt.
They like to watch the world burn in Arkansastan.
It's all fun and games until a sinkhole to hell opens up under you and you go down, down into a ring of fire.
Good shot, but also had to be a high powered rifle.
That was certainly also long-range ammunition.
As compared to a low powered rifle?
Pissed his daddy named him Sue. Should have named him Bill. Or George.
Could this story be any more American?
Americans literally shooting up their own water supply? Yea
To show you the power of FLEX SEAL, I shot a hole in this water tower!
To me, that's the only good reason to use a gun. I hope it wasn't a lead bullet.
Absolute lack of respect. Lead bullet in the towns water supply.
That’s the funniest thing I saw today
Kim tasting baby formula in NK to mock Biden comes close.
The simulation is breaking What happens when u shoot the moon?!
You gotta go, you gotta go.
I'd wager this wasnt a bullet but a drill instead.
Ah yes vandalizing water supply for fun is great!
There is lead in the water now.
What a shame. One’s mind must be really shallow to do this.
Problem is if they fix this, it will just happen again.
Nice aim, on more than one shot..
So the big news in Kingsland Arkansas is that now it looks like Johnny Cash is pissing?
I always wondered what would happen if someone shot one of those
I wanna know who hates Johnny cash enough to shoot him in the dick.
This is both funny and a terrible thing they should be charged for
As someone from Reno, I’d say it got off easy.
Damn I want to enjoy this more, but it’s a waste of water and that kind of ruined my fun.
This is what the internet is for
it was to put out the ring of fire
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.
I shot a man in Kingsland just to watch him pee
Just to watch him die.
It took a leak…to put Kingsland Arkansas in the main stream.
