    Before anyone jumps to any conclusions...say, about Detroit...
    The perp was from out of state.

    Here is info and pix of the clock: http://www.detroithistorical.org/mai...ils.aspx?ID=18

    I am glad they arrested the person. It sounds like he was looking for attention.

    Dude pulled the fire alarm, then damaged an old clock.


    He probably had something against time.

    I wish they would give a little bit more information on the damage. The Freep is better than Fox news though.

    I guess i was more interested in what he did to the clock, but didnt exaclty explain that. did pulling the fire alarm trigger sprinklers ? or did he take a hatchet to it? Or did he stick gum to it like the kid at the DIA a few years back?

    Smashed the face of it. You can see for yourself at the DHM. No sprinklers went off.

    He wasn't playing with a full deck. Cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

    Again, nothing to do with Detroit residents, Cass Corridor folks, kids... a good lesson for all against profiling anyone...

    Lol!!! Why would sprinklers ever go off in a fire alarm? There has to be an actual fire present. Thats how they work.

    Such a shame someone damaged it. What heck goes through people's heads?

    The dude needs to run the gauntlet of Detroiter's who remember the clock and appreciate all it's history.
