This is in response to the letter, "Tragedy waiting to happen" (Aug. 1).

First, all the cars on the public road U.S. 321 are getting out of hand -- they now tape off where they will sit to watch the fireworks and line up any way they want. If the police should do anything (not close one lane), they should put a stop to this madness on our highways.

Tweetsie Railroad provides parking for a small fee; if there is an accident waiting to happen, it is not their fault or of our law enforcement.

If you want to take a chance on the highway, go for it, but let's not be closing any roads or lanes for people who do not seem to care.

Next, they will be suing Tweetsie if they get hurt running back and forth.

As for tragedy waiting to happen, if it does, it's your own fault.
