BBC ^ | 09/17/2015

More than 700,000 people have taken to Twitter to support Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old student who was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school that was mistaken for a bomb. --SNIP-- Jafari, a 23-year-old psychology student at the University of Texas Arlington (UTA), was shocked that such a young student was arrested in her state.

My guess is, that with a name like Jafari, she might not be that close to home.

IT was apparentl;y not a "clock" like most use to tell time, more like a counter or bomb timer.

The question is where did the kid get the plans? A Jihadi website?

Morons, all of them. This was a setup and it reeks against those of us who have a clue about electronics and reality.

The DMFs running America think we are F...... stupid.

No doubt about it. This kind of thing does not spread this fast by accident.

This kid was merely a puppet for his Muzzie puppet masters seeking to prod, test and exploit our freedoms, ONCE AGAIN. Go up the food chain and you’ll find CAIR, THEN THE WH.

Jafari, a 23-year-old psychology student at the University of Texas Arlington (UTA), was shocked...

700,000 on twitter? That’s a lot of jihadi sympathizers.

The state of America today:

kid brings a pop tart to school which happens to look like a gun....sent home.

kid makes gun with fingers.....sent home

American kids cannot fly the American flag on cinco de mayo day as afraid it will upset Hispanics

Backpacks are routinely searched for who knows what

One kid of Islamic heritage brings a home-made device of unknown purposes to school....he's invited to the White House.

soycd :" This was a setup and it reeks against those of us who have a clue about electronics and reality."

Even PBS had it on their newshour, with a distance shot of the "clock" with electronic looking wires.
As soon as the incident occurred , they contacted the Muslim organization , claiming 'Islamophobia'.
I believe it was a set-up .. for kabuki theater
