To the Editor,

At the intersection of Faye Street and Ransom Road (Polk 54) there is an area that seems to be a favorite of everyone who wants to do any work along Ransom Road. I do not know who dug it up this last time, but I know its been at least a couple of months since the work was finished. And, as usual, the area was semi-packed with gravel and abandoned.

Yesterday, I was driving along Ransom Road toward Hwy 8. I generally try to completely avoid this section by driving into the oncoming “lane,” but that wasn’t possible this time. I’m very thankful that my tire rim wasn’t damaged! Much of the gravel has been flung out of the area and there is a decent depression that, in my opinion, makes the area unsafe.

I understand that specific contracted companies are generally the culprits. But the maintenance of city roads, which these are, are the responsibility of the City of Mena. If the City is not going to actually do the repairs post utility work, then they need to be checking on these work areas and ensure that the company does the proper repairs in a timely manner. This also applies to the County on County roads, but they are not the current topic of discussion.

I would appreciate it if the City of Mena would get this particular issue taken care of. It would make this area of Ransom Road much safer. Thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion.

It is reported on Sky News and Daily Mail.com that Mizzy (Real name Bacari-Bronze O-Garro) was arrested filming himself on TikTok going into random homes of strangers, uninvited, in London, England. Other brazen criminal acts recorded by this young criminal included stealing an elderly woman’s dog (and later returning it), tearing up library books, jumping into stranger’s cars, and most recently hijacking a train.

He was arrested and the terms of his release involved a two-year criminal behavior order. Within a few days he was arrested again for similar criminal acts.

When interviewed by Piers Morgan, his reason for recording and sharing his criminal acts was to “rack up views” on TikTok. He further stated he was now 18 years old and could do what he wanted.

I sincerely hope no one in the USA is considering mimicking his criminal behavior. Aside from breaking and entering constituting a felony, there exists the possibility that someone may act out of fear for their life and defend their home or family from this intrusion by use of deadly force. That was my first question when reading this story and my second question was where did respect for the rights and privacy of others give way to TikTok challenges? It is true at 18 in some places you are considered an adult and can exercise free will. It does not, however, give you the right to trample on the rights of others.

I can remember years ago the “challenge craze” involved pouring ice water over someone, who willingly participated, and the purpose was to raise money for charities. Somehow this has morphed into most anything to get a few moments of internet or TV fame for reasons beyond me. Publicly doing dangerous things and recording them so others have no doubt you lack any form of intelligence, decorum, moral standards, or respect is not really something most of us should be proud of or mimic.

I tried to find out how many people have died from TikTok challenges and the only numbers I could find involved 20-plus from a challenge called “The Blackout Challenge.” What I found distressing was that there were those who continued the challenge even after others were dying from it and the deaths continued. My sympathies to the families who

Just my observation, but the VIEWS you rack up by doing such ill thought-out acts may well come during the viewing prior to your burial, and I doubt those are the views you seek. There is no good reason to cut short a life full of promise for a moment of fleeting notoriety.

As always, I thank you for a forum to express my thoughts though we may peacefully disagree.

With respect and kindest regards, Ronald Goss, retired, Mena
