quote:

An Arkansas town is upset after someone shot a hole in their water tower in a very specific, and unfortunate location.

The water tower in Kingsland, the birthplace of Johnny Cash, bears a painted silhouette of the famous Man in Black — but an unknown person recently took careful aim at Cash’s crotch and pulled the trigger. Now the mural is perpetually leaking from that spot.

While not condoning vandalism, some felt that the perpetrator displayed a certain degree of panache. “Shouldn’t have done it, but as far as creativity goes its 1st class,” a comment said.

I want to see what this looks like from a different angle.

Does anyone have the IP address?

It’s a sign from beyond the grave.

Isn’t that at least 1/4 inch steel? What caliber Bullet did that? Someone climbed up there with a drill

Sorry to the fine people of Kingsland but when he looked up and saw that he smiled. Can't wait to meet him.

Believe it or not, that's really not unusual. My parents' home is next to a water tower in Eight Mile, AL. That tower has been shot multiple times. 30.06 will do it.

Going back to the mid-80s, I remember a drunken physics debate at a party about A) Could a rifle round punch through the steel on the water tower across the street, and B) If so, would the volume of water leaking out cause a catastrophic failure.
The debate went on for a few minutes when a friend - we'll call him Sean - announced "frick it!" and proceeded into his bedroom and came out with his .270 deer gun. He opened the front door and fired a round at the water tower at a range of less than 50 yards. He stood on the porch for a moment before he walked inside and authoritatively and succinctly said, "No."
Sean always had impulse control problems, but he was fun at parties.

We used to unload at abandoned cars on the deer lease when we were kids, a 44 magnum long rifle couldn’t penetrate that water tower but it could go through the drivers and out through the passenger door of an old Vega

Oh, I believed you as soon as you said “Eight Mile, AL”.

Probably one of the OB baws with their $5000 custom six-five topped with $10,000 glass.
