9th-grader arrested after taking homemade bomb to school

Probably not. Looked like a bomb, they don't want people to do this shit, so they laid the law down hard on him.

 

Why was the clock in an aluminum suitcase, which is stereotypically what people use for suitcase bombs?

 

Anyway, this story sucks. Hope Ahmed finds his 72 virgins or whatever the fuck he's looking for after he gets paid.

Perhaps he can be a be a successful muslim engineer someday who, like most muslims, oppresses women and gays. And liberals will unfathomably defend them since they are a protected class for some reason nowadays.

 

If the kid were White there would be no story and he wouldn't have had an issue. Obama wouldn't have needed to respond. There's NOTHING wrong with the response and outpouring of love this kid is getting. He deserves it. Have you ever seen a bomb? Probably not. So what does one look like? You don't know. Stop watching 24. It's a bullshit show anyway.

 

If what mediocre man said is true, "better to be safe than sorry" because others named Ahmed have done all these awful things, therefore it might really have been a bomb - then the school officials and police officers involved should be immediately fired and subject to criminal investigation.

Because if any of them really thought there was any possibility the clock was a bomb because the boy's name is Ahmed (or any other reason for that matter) they needed to evacuate the school at once, call the bomb squad and only after everyone is safe interrogate the "suspect". THAT is "better safe than sorry". Bullshit but at least consistent bullshit.

These people are stupid but not THAT stupid. They knew damn well the clock was not really a bomb. They were racist fuckheads who wanted to bully and frighten a boy because of who he is, which probably also includes being too smart for them. Ahmed reported that when he was called into the interrogation room the lead cop leaned back in his chair and laughed, saying something like of course this would be the one. Meaning a dark skinned boy named Ahmed Mohamed. A cop who thinks there may be a bomb in a school does not lean back and laugh! They knew there was no bomb.

Even what they suspended him for, a bomb hoax, is bullshit. A bomb hoax is when someone says they have a bomb, and don't, but cause panic and wasted time in evacuation. But Ahmed did not do that. He brought a clock and said it was a clock. No bomb. No hoax. Just racist assholes. They deserve egg on their face and yes, a lawsuit.

 

ur just mad they killed curtis.

 

I really don't know what you're talking about...

 

Shortly after this, high school student Ahmed's Nuclear Bomb briefcase is activated and explodes. (in the TV show, not in real life) and Jack Bauer has a moment of clarity.

 

this moment of clarity sounds interesting.

oh and spoiler alert? jeesh.

 

That was teh beginning of the season. In the end, it was the chinese guy's fault.

 

And then we wonder why our students aren't becoming engineers when they grow up...he should have gotten an award for making a clock but his parents should have warned him about the design he chose.

 

Built my own homemade video game system.

 

you forgot the handcuffs

 

Noob. You have to take it out of its case or nobody will believe that you built it.

 

Don't worry, the first or second teacher may not freak out but if I let it start beeping, the 4th teacher I show it to unprovoked will.

 

Play Stations don't beep! Get with the program.

 

they beep when you reset it after I am beating your ass at NBA Live, yo!

Atheist Richard Dawkins is not pulling any punches when it comes to the arrest of Muslim teen Ahmed Mohamed. The young man was accused by school officials and by the local police of creating a hoax “bomb” clock, although he was never charged with any crime. When the story went public, many people rushed to defend Ahmed, but Dawkins certainly does not #StandWithAhmed based upon his Twitter comments.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, a 13-year-old African-American boy from Georgia named C.J. Pearson has been making waves on Facebook by calling out President Barack Obama for inviting Ahmed Mohamed to the White House. Bristol Palin also publicly bashed President Obama for his support of the teenage clockmaker, and Sarah Palin joined in with the criticism.

The debate over Ahmed Mohamed has quickly become a political firestorm. But, oddly enough, criticisms of the Muslim teen have both conservatives and atheist Richard Dawkins voicing the same concerns. The atheist leader even claimed Ahmed may have “wanted to be arrested” in order to spark a controversy over American Muslims and racism.

“Assembling clock from bought components is fine. Taking clock out of its case to make it look as if he built it is not fine. Which is true?” Dawkins said on Twitter. “Yes, there are other reasons why a boy might take a clock out of its casing and pretend he’d made it. Trying to impress teachers, for instance. If the reassembled components did something more than the original clock, that’s creative. If not, it looks like hoax.”

As a justification for these comments, Richard Dawks pointed to this YouTube video, which criticizes the homemade clock built by Ahmed.

Thomas Talbot, the creator of the YouTube video, specifically claims that Ahmed built the clock for the purpose of getting a reaction.

“The ‘clock’ is a commercial bedside alarm clock removed from its casing,” he wrote. “There is nothing to indicate that the clock was even assembled by the child. I suspect this was brought into school to create an alarmed reaction.”

As further evidence, Dawkins also cited a blog post by Art Voice, which claimed that Ahmed Mohamed lied about creating a clock.

“Ahmed Mohamed didn’t invent his own alarm clock. He didn’t even build a clock…. Amhed’s clock was invented, and built, by Micronta, a Radio Shack subsidary. Catalog number 63 756.”

Like Richard Dawkins, the blog claimed that Ahmed may have been playing a “silly prank” on his teacher while fully knowing how the briefcase clock would be perceived.

“Teachers are taught to be suspicious and vigilant. Ahmed wasn’t accused of making a bomb — he was accused of making a look-alike, a hoax. And be honest with yourself, a big red digital display with a bunch of loose wires in a brief-case looking box is awful like a Hollywood-style representation of a bomb.”

Fellow atheist Bill Maher has also made similar points to Richard Dawkins, claiming that the teachers did the right thing by calling the police.

“People at the school thought it might be a bomb, because it looks exactly like a f**king bomb. It’s not the color of his skin. Excuse me, somebody look me in the eye right here and tell me. Over the last 30 years, if so many young Muslim men … and he’s young, 14, but that’s not like it’s never happened before, hasn’t blown a lot of s—t up around the world. And this guy, this kid deserves an apology, because he wasn’t one of them… For the last 30 years, it’s been the one culture that has been blowing s**t up over and over again.”

When some Twitter users confronted Richard Dawkins over his accusations of fraud, he did appear to back pedal a little.

“Sorry if I go a bit over the top in my passion for truth…. We were all fooled, and arresting him was wrong. Like searching shoes at airports,” Dawkins wrote. “I’m not putting down the child. I’m putting down myself and the rest of us for being fooled. And the police for arresting him for nothing.”
