    If the Packard Plant was in Troy, would Ms Johnson feel the same freedom/ entitlement to go into it, smash crap, take ironic pictures, and leave?

    I'm not sure she felt the freedom or entitlement to do those things as it stands, but why are you asking me such an irrelevant question?

    Maybe we can chalk this up to the internet and not Detroit, but it's amazing that people are being assaulted and we're only concerned with somebody entering a long abandoned building. It's like blaming sexual assault on the victim's choice of attire.

    The difference is it is not a crime to dress a certain way. I don't think the comparison holds as both are vistims but one is engaged in a crime and the other isn't.

    We'll have to disagree. I just hope you don't speed while driving home from work today because you'd deserve to die a slow death.

    Where does it say she "smashed crap?" Or did you just assume she "smashed crap?"

    Troy has a version of the Packard Plant, on a lesser scale. It's called Kresge, on Big Beaver and Coolidge. It's been empty for years, you couldn't get in there though, it's pretty well secured.

    How about that massive empty series of buildings at the border of Bloomfield and Pontiac?
