Goodbye Detroit!

I’d buy that for a dollar!

Beware evil-doers in the city of Detroit, there’s a new sheriff in town! Someone’s trying to raise money to build a statue (not a real robot, damnit) of the cinematic, robotic crime fighter, Robocop.

Then again, he was the good cop, surrounded by “bad apples”…

In any case, go here and read more about it, and if so inclined, donate.
