Jeez, I feel sorry for the poor fish, and then sorry for the guys and gals who raised money to get it opened again.
It's the worst kind of irony, group of dicks just wanted to get it closed again, I'm guessing?

Detroit cannot be saved. I don't know why these government types keep delaying the inevitable, just sell the place to Omni Consumer Products already!

I think part of the problem is that there are so many abandoned buildings where punks have been able to vandalize without consequence that they have developed a taste for it. Either that, or since they did not get the attention they wanted for their 20th painting in the Michigan Central Station they felt the need to destroy something that someone obviously cared about to get attention.

.......
Conspiracy time, and f*** anyone who thinks otherwise.
This was f***ing premeditated. Someone did this at just the right time to make sure big black scary Detroit looks as bad as possible.
Don't go near Detroit! They kill fish!
Someone did this knowing EXACTLY what it would mean. And f*** YOU FOR DOING IT.
f*** you for doing it, knowing exactly what people would say. f*** you for doing this during the Grand Prix.
f*** you. f*** you. f*** you.
dont type round the filters.

If that place was truly abandoned then I can see how tempting it is to smash things. Still another thing to go to an aquarium and kill fish. My old town was like that. Some young punks broke into our museum and smashed some irreplaceable artifacts and fairly recently, some construction workers left a construction site for a multiplex unlocked, resulting in paint thrown everywhere and forklifts driven into walls. |

Trashing one room is one thing, but just check out the s***hole that it became in just 2 years. |

To be fair, as bad as it may be to see all that damage, and the rest of the pictures from the blog, im less inclined to hate on the scrappers and the looters and more on the system that allowed all that stuff to just be left there. That's the truly ridiculous thing |

At the very least, in 10 or maybe 20 years they can start advertising campaigns informing visitors of tours of "the fabulous ruins of Detroit". It'll be Americas very own Rome. |

It's apparently so cold there as well. Most of these abandoned buildings can't even provide decent shelter for the many homeless in Detroit because every single window gets broken and most doors get ripped from their frames. |
