Maybe clockmed should walk up to an airport screening station
with his “clock” and see if he can board a plane with it.

On second thought, let’s see a white guy try to board a plane with it.

This will surely make people think twice about “If you see something,say something.”.

Boggles the mind.

Why didn’t he try to enter the white House with his clock?

“This will surely make people think twice about “If you see something,say something.”.”

You think that might be the reason some Muslims do things like this?

Sure.

If we “say something” about anyone but a white man we might get sued.

Somehow the phrase “mock suitcase bomb” keeps getting changed to the word “clock” in the reports on this incident. Blasted auto-correct!

Couldn’t read the article, dallasnews always locks up my browser.

Is that drunk DA in Travis Co. involved in this?

I believe that’s exactly what the Irving school officials and police we’re acting upon. They wouldn’t have wanted to explain ignoring “red flags” if either Ahmed or his family were somehow plotting something, and we’re simply doing their duty to look into the situation.

And the Ahmed Mohamed case might even have prevented the San Bernardino massacre from being stopped. If the people who saw something suspicious had reported what they saw, perhaps that massacre would have been stopped, but they’re were afraid of being pilloried for “Islamophobia” and having their lives ruined if they were wrong, which all things being equal, they probably would have been.

I heard recently that upon hearing blood-curdling screams coming from a neighbor’s house, someone called the police, and when they showed up en force, it turned out that the screaming was due to some teenagers watching “The Walking Dead.” It was all a misunderstanding, but the neighbors aren’t having their lives destroyed, and the teens watching the show said next time they’ll close their windows.

The elite’s reaction in the Ahmed Mohamed case is in direct contradiction to what the public had been expressly told to do for years, and now leaves the public in limbo, and anyone who dares to report anything with the prospect of being hung out to dry and destroyed just for acting responsibly. And this angle doesn’t get brought up in the public debate at all.

It was made to appear like a bomb.

Clocks look like timepices, not suitcase bombs.

Agreed. And the media has been silent about that, deliberately silent. Ahmed has admitted knowing his device would look suspicious. I wonder if he made it in response to 9/11, the anniversary of which was on Friday. Perhaps that made him angry, so he came up with the clock/bomb to bring in Monday to restore his sense of pride.

The new slogan from our Federal Government is “If they say something, sue someone”.

I think there family has terrorist ties. they sent there kid out of the country as fast as they could after a discrimination investigation was opened. I don’t think they want there kid questioned about family and friends of the family by any lawyers.

I believe I read the whole family moved to the Middle East. And they really aren’t happy there so they want to come back.

The angle that isn’t brought up in public debate, is that to any thinking person the whole thing looks like a deliberate troll, probably instigated by Clockmed’s father and his associates.

If I were on my computer I’d post a few graphics and links that make this obvious.

Didn’t think of that but it makes sense. And they ended up in Qatar, financed by the Qatar Foundation, which has links to terrorism.

Ahmed Mohamed’s former school district has sued the Texas Attorney General — defying an order to reveal details of a federal investigation related to the Muslim teen’s arrest after bringing a homemade clock to school last year.

...

Buying a clock at a store, taking it out of its case, and then putting it in another case isn’t MAKING A CLOCK.

It may have been an extortion scheme by the family, but before the media will bring up that possibility, there has to be some intermediate steps, including stop labeling anyone who thinks it might not have been a case of Islamophobia a bigot, and fairly consider if Ahmed might have deliberately wanted to cause trouble, for whatever reason. The latter includes looking at his record of playing pranks and wanting to get attention.
