What happened to “see something, say something”?
Lets see..he’s too young to vote. He’s too young to have a beer summit....Wonder what bathhouse Barry sees in him?
Muslims good. Whites bad.
Crazy like a fox?
“Hey, kid, I can get you the rest of the bomb components in five minutes. I got a pen and a phone, y’know.”
He wasn’t “targeted because of his religion,” he was targeted because a young male with the name “Achmed Mohamed” shouldn’t be showing up in school with something that looks even a little bit like a bomb!
He’s allegedly a science nerd, but I think either (A) he hasn’t got the brains God gave a turnip, or (B) somebody put him up to this as a publicity stunt.
If the latter, two suspects come to mind (1) his dad, Mohamed Mohamed (no, I’m not making this sh!t up), or (2) CAIR, the muslim equivalent of Jesse Jackson.
Bull crap. Did you hear of Columbine and other school attacks. We don’t need lax security in schools.
The kid was trying to unsettle folks...
Why the hell else would he put it inside a briefcase or suitcase or whatever it was...
As far as being detained without parents knowing, that is how it works. Ashamed to say, put my daughter got into a fight at her middle school last year. No injuries caused, but the cop wanted to make an example. So she was arrested. I was not informed until after he left the school with her and they were on the way to the detention center. The sheriff department says that they do not want angry parents at the school confronting officers. Worried that situation could get out of hand. I do not like it, but I can admit that it is probably smart policy. BTW, my daughter was released to me and has been a little angel for the last two years!
White kid woulda had more sense.
This makes a lot more sense why he was arrested.
All the stories seem to say the police were accusing him of making a bomb. They were accusing him of making a bomb HOAX.
Idiot police chief gave Obama a gift.
So the teachers and the police are too stupid to recognize it for what it was. You honestly think they would have reacted the same for a white kid?
The NYT is lying. Surprise, surprise.
He did not “build a clock” as the NYT says. He put an alarm clock in a briefcase sized box.
I swear to God, from the comments on the threads about this kid’s electronics project, the average IQ of Freepers must be sub-85.
Those of you casting blame at this kid should all be ashamed of yourselves! You make yourselves, and FR, look like a bunch of idiots.
I guess the America where student initiative and intellectual curiosity are rewarded is long dead, including here at FR.
“Why the hell else would he put it inside a briefcase or suitcase or whatever it was...”
I had to go look at my case. I’m pretty sure that `clock’ housing is a promotional Thompson Cigar Co, cigar case. It is identical to mine inside and out.
Probably belonged to the old man and he doesn’t want to `fess up to cigars. And “pencil case” as they are describing it sounds a lot better than cigar case.
With Obama and his fellow muslims, you can believe nothing you read or hear.
This whole discussion is why my kids will never attend a public school.
I would say choice (b) is almost certainly right. Wonder if the White House invite was in the mail before the incident itself made the press?
For a “Christian” president, he sure does lean to the muslim side....a lot.
Sorry, any kid would have been detained and questioned and scolded for making what has the appearance of a bomb.
Most science projects are brought in on a piece of plywood or cardboard. This kid chooses to put his “clock” in a briefcase??
The kid was attempting to unsettle folks. Period. His father is an activist muslim.
If a redneck kid came to school with a clock that had been made to look like a rifle, he would have been treated exactly the same by the school. The only difference was that he would not being getting invites to Facebook headquarters or the White House.
