Kingsland, Arkansas, is known as the birthplace of music legend Johnny Cash. A water tower with his image in the town is now leaking thousands of gallons of water per day after a vandal fired a well-placed shot that some find amusing. KARK’s Caitrin Assaf reports.

#Arkansas #WaterTower #Kingsland
They could have easily have climbed up there already to plug the hole talking about 30,000 gallons of water everyday I would have been up there immediately to plug that hole with a cork
Somebody needs a scope adjustment.
I wish that I lived closer. I could put a stop to that in a short time. For a fee of course. 🤓
Hahaha
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
But wasting water is not a laughing matter!!
Lmaooo, who ever did that is a LEGEND.
Nah
it definitely is not funny at all
THE REPORTER WAS VERY BAD AT HER JOB AS WELL
If they can plug a hole in a boat or submarine while it is submerged there surely has to be a way to fix it
This would be a good advertisement for Flomax.
Someone’s a bad shot.
The fourth grader in me is cracking up 🤣😂
Johnny Cash gets the last laugh.😭
I’m sure the right is blaming antifa or blm for this…
now here’s your chance #flexseal
Wow! He really needed to pee so badly
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least in spite of everything, we haven’t lost our sense of humor.
This is great lol… Long shot 😂😂
It was Banksy. Another masterpiece! Send him a bill if you can find him. 💰 🖼
Another tik tok trend
All for no reason just one piece of lead, I hung my head
Ask Jonny for the cash 💰
Only Trump loving qanon Republicans do crap like this
Where’s the Flex Seal guy when you need him??
No laughing matter!!!! Wait till you see yourself standing there with that umbrella ☔️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why ?
Johnny’s laughing 😂 somewhere in country music heaven
As an ex water distribution manager I can tell you that to lower the water level to do the repairs will only drop the water pressure by an insignificant amount and still be in the required pressure and volume of flow. Then a quick weld and a bit of chlorine would solve the issue. Apparently the Water Department and Mayor is enjoying the attention by letting it remain unfixed. Makes for a good funny news flash I have to say. The estimate of $5000 to fix it is the biggest story here though, because that’s the biggest joke. The loss of water definitely can not be counted as unaccountable and that’s not a joke.
Only those with LARGE amounts of insurance bid for Muni jobs. Imagine if they hired Billy Bob the plumber and something went wrong the township could be sued.
Johnny would have found this hilarious
Johnny Cash from Heaven: “Jesus! “
for some reason i think ol johnny would get a kick out of this one. i know it made me laugh.
Someone put a cork into the hole. Its not hard to temporary stop leak. Duck tape works too. Geezz
Flex-seal has a really good opportunity to show off there products here.
Well, when you have too much water in your system, you are bound to take a leak (pun intended).
Put flex 💪 tape‼️
Q. Why did the Johnny Cash bring an extra pair of pants when he went golfing?
A. In case he got a “hole in one”.
It begs the question, will the man that did it have his right to firearms??? Take away his weapons and never let him have them back…
Two shots would have made Johnny lactate
Haaaaa,they got creative,haaaa,messedup,though.
Where’s that little Dutch boy with his finger?
On second thought, that would make it worse
Golden showers for all!
Cheap fix.. Flex seal it, lol.. Johnny would love this if he was alive
Try some Flex Seal
Never heard of Johnny Cash until now, and I’m 42🤷🏽♂️
Why…….wouldn’t you weld a patch in the mean time……lol, everybody standing around looking lost and letting it leak.
Love it, Johnny Cash taking a leak!
has anyone told them about Flex-Tape?
THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING I’VE EVER SEEN !!!!!
The guy who did it supposedly got like 16 years. Can we like petition him free for bringing joy to our lives? The sentence seems so dramatic 😭
Is there any reason it couldn’t be plugged by simply using a stainless steel self tapping screw slightly larger than the hole?
Flex tape?
5k….or 20 dollars worth of flex seal XD
Try welding a piece of metal over the hole externally, thread the hole for a threaded fitting to plug it, etc.,,,they could stop it in minutes if they wanted too. It’s not a difficult solution. Just plug it…
after this very important report more on the UFO problem from fake news ! 😂😄😂😄😂😄
Quick! Where’s the flex tape
Thats a fuc** awesome prostate. Thats like a horse pissn with wood.
Well at least they had a sense of humor
It’s been leaking for a week w/o repair?? And it costs $5,000 to repair!? None of this makes sense.
And water doesn’t just fall from the sky.
Freaking fix it then
I’m sorry, I love the Man in Black as much as the next guy, but that is some funny $hit right there 🤣
He can’t hold it any longer I bet he happy he released all that water out
I think telepathy is real, but men are too mean / angry. Some men look smarter in the mind. Some men focus much more on personality than others. “Alphas” never did. It’s only on what people look like.
A lot of men still see themselves as having “dominator genes” throughout the generations. The personality is the body ONLY for an “alpha”. Nothing more. It’s never a focus on ideas about consciousness itself. It’s shallow and embarrassing. # Christian Ideology
No one really “dominates”. Men share ideas of dominance, or they share ideas related to psychic development, which is always love-based (honesty) and friendly (fair). Two separate wavelengths. They never interact socially. Attraction is real.
People focusing on telepathy, and not using their minds to put other people down socially, avoid others that are aggressive, unfriendly, socially elitist, and violent. Prideful men (minds that are bodies) are aggressive. They are unkind.
When people are grouped together in large crowds, it feels tense and “atheist”. The more selfish and cruel men are, the less aware they are about telepathy. This is why it seems like it isn’t real for all of us sometimes, and many of us most of the time.
Why would men be really cruel and focused on telepathy simultaneously? Men either accept that others see right through them immediately, or they don’t. Those that don’t never control their thoughts. They have pride over being insensitive.
No one can be insensitive and focused on telepathy at the same time. It makes people look stupid. So those that are focused on elitism based on what people look like are the least aware. They are angry about it and forceful in the mind.
I believe these are the reasons as to why telepathy doesn’t seem real to a lot of people. We actually don’t focus our minds on each other directly at all. What we do is focus on money, talent, and popularity together (material). Our minds feel trapped.
If telepathy is real, and we ignore it so that we can hurt other people socially, we will never be happy on Earth. Our species will die out, and we will destroy the planet before we get to that point. We must act immediately. We must grow.
Can vandalism be funny? That there vandalism is art.
Phil swift doesn’t look so stupid anymore
Ask biden he is handing out trillions to foreign countries and illegal immigrants
“Its been…….leaking” im sorry but that was funny
Why couldn’t they use flex seal tape until they can afford to fix the tower?
I bet they can just flex tape it!😂
They should charge admission to see it…
FLEX SEAL!!!!!
HeeHaw it’s cornfield county 🌾
So it’s a federal crime and this dude could face 15 years but people who tore down and vandalized statues all over the South two years ago walk away scot-free
Blame it on Charlie Manson everybody else does
Jerks
Is there a way to drop s couple yellow dye tablets in the water tank?
Finally, a vandal with a sense of humor.
Hey!! Not fair someone took my idea!!
When shooter faces water scarcity it won’t be quite as funny then.
Brilliant!!! Smell the revolution.
Holy sh@! 😳
I forgot all about Arkansas! 🤔 Hmm… how you guys doin over there?!? 🤗
Use a fukkn ship hole repair plugs duh
“It’s been …leakin’ for the past week.” 🤣
I have no doubt that R.Kelly had something to do with this
I needed to see this today, I really needed to see this today. Somehow it restores my faith in America.
That’s a bad shot… Tell me we don’t need more cctv, rings and shot spotters.
can flex tape do the job..just enough time for the repair man to came to?
0:32 pee pee 🤣🤣
Should send the perpetrator to Folsom prison 😛
Johnny is laughing in heaven. But it’s still not right.
I dont even know what to say🤣🤦♂️🤣🤦♂️🤣
Lol this is just too much!🤣 And you can’t tell me they can’t patch that temporarily and stop wasting all that water!! Haha the reporter and her umbrella standing in the one spot the water falls. I mean, why?? 🤣 This is a great story I am so glad I watched it.
BRING OUT THE FLEX SEAL
What’s the big deal, I can fix that in 5 minutes…”Flextape” !!
Flex seal to the rescue.
Are you kidding, putting a temporary plug in that is impossible? Ludicrous. The navy would know how to turn that off in a few minutes call them. And it is hilarious no matter what they say.
That tower was shot.
Cash issue
