Eighty eight year old army veteran ed full time at a grocery store in Detroit, eight hour shifts, five days a week because he never received the pension he should have earned. His wife passed away a few years ago. He's been supporting himself ever since. TikToker Samuel met Ed at the store and decided to try something bold. He launched to go fund me to give the veteran the retirement he deserved. Donations poured in. Not only did they hit the million dollar mark, they blew past it. In a few days. More than one point five million dollars was raised. TikToker sam told supporters every dollar will go directly toward Ed's living expenses, medical care, in the everyday comforts he's long gone without. He explains, Ed fought for this country. He worked his old life in outsur turn to fight for him. In Jonesboro, Tennessee, a deer decide to get a jump on holiday shopping by breaking into a Christmas theme store and tearing through the place like it owned it. Police were called to Gabriel's Christmas and More they found the deer in the shop. According to police, the deer sniffed ornaments, inspected gorland, gave some side eyes to the nutcrackers, and galloped around like he was trying to remember where he parked the sleigh. The chaos only stopped when the deer attempted to squeeze through the bottom of a chair and got stuck. That gave the officers a chance to grab it and bring it outside.

1:29 Officer Adams said they initially hoped the deer would just leave on its own, but it didn't, so when it got wedged in the chair, I was like, gotcha. Once free, the deer bolted away. No harm done. Lisa owns the store, she said. Nobody thought it was real. I mean she probably wanted to come and do some shopping and get last minute gifts. She knew where to come. In Switzerland, a charity event tried for a Guinness World Record by building a massive mural out of three hundred thousand lego bricks. The finished piece stretches nearly seventy nine feet long and is more than six feet tall. Was created for the Swiss telep which raises money for people living with rear genetic diseases. The artwork is awaiting official review from Guinness to determine whether it can claim the record for world's largest lego mural. In Detroit, the eleven foot tall bronze RoboCop statue has finally arrived after nearly fifteen years of planning, fundraising, and delays. The sculpture is two and a half tons.

2:21 It's outside the Free Age Production studio in the city's Eastern Market. Jim owns the studio and said the statue is already drawing curious visitors. He says, I love it. It looks great, it's super impressive, and it's already brought a lot of nice people around. The idea for the statue goes back to twenty eleven, when a Twitter user suggested Detroit erect a monument two RoboCop. The guy that was mayor back then said there were no plans to do anything like that, but that inspired fans and launch a Kickstarter that raised more than sixty seven thousand dollars. The statue was finished in twenty seventeen, but they had to figure out where to put it and get legal clearance from MGM, which controls the RoboCop rights. All that has worked out and now you can go RoboCop statue.

3:02 Nice job by Santa Claus and Missus Claus. They're pretty busy this week, but they still had time to stop off at the Rock River Valley Blood Center's blood drive.
