Today I read the news. I read the news multiple times.

Then I read about this smart kid Ahmed who likes building things. He is 14 years old and takes DIY clock to school.

Well you read the news I assume and I feel anger and shame. If this is how smart kids are treated, fuck society.

The country where NASA operates, jails a 14 year old kid for a DIY clock.

The Western world is fucked if fear is to ruin young minds...

P.S.

Sorry, I have to get this out of my system.

With any luck he'll grow up to build ironman suit to conduct jihad on infidels. Thanks America

At first I was outraged... until I saw what he built.

I'm sorry, but that kid is 80% at fault. It had nothing to do with his race or his religion. I've built similar electronics type kits when I was in junior high. None of those kits I built could ever have been mistaken for a bomb like the above. I wouldn't be surprised if that kid told some of his classmates that it was a bomb.

So much for your liberal media at work fanning the flames of hate. If I was a cop or school administrator and saw that briefcase, I would have been very very worried. Remember what the Tsarnaev brothers or the joker guy did wasn't all that long ago. And yeah, politicians and the peanut gallery should just shut the fuck up until they learn about the details of the case. If you guys have ever personally dealt with media, you would understand how the media can distort things way out of proportion.

His build might look odd but then as a teacher or police officer you can at least ask to have a closer look.

Nope there was panic and he was treated like a criminal. This situation was completely unnecessary.

Given the circumstances (looking at that briefcase), I'd evacuate the school, lock him up, and ask questions later. You don't have time to second guess. Personally, I wouldn't want to take a closer look. Abundance of caution. It could be some redneck kid. It could be a joke. It could be an honest mistake. Doesn't matter.

This is serious stuff. Just as you don't joke around in airports, you don't joke around at schools. Those with kids know very well about modern security procedures at schools in the USA.

I understand your perspective but disagree.

Define "suspicious looking" and you end up with many things. This could easily have been handled in a friendly way.

All it takes is one school teacher freaking out and reporting a "bomb". The police officer would have to take the teacher's word. Also, you never know what really happened. That kid could have refused to cooperate with the officer. Lots of little details you don't know. He could have been a little shit that wanted attention. Seriously, if you wanted to build a clock, bring a fucking clock, not a suitcase with a big LED panel that might be hiding a homemade explosive behind it.

And BTW, I had classmate in high school who got expelled for setting off bomb in the lockers. I also had another classmate with three fingers from making a bomb. Bombs, firecrackers, guns, knives, are a very real risk in USA schools.

I think it's disrespectful to educators and law enforcement to come to conclusions too soon. They have a difficult job. Sometimes a split-second decision could result in lives saved. And again, keep in mind news-media distortion.

Building a 'clock' that looks like a 'bomb' and taking it to school on 9/11 and also being a Muslim from Sudan is a lot of happy 'coincidences' and circumstantial facts to just turn a blind eye to.

Are we supposed to look the other way because he's only a kid? You know how many kids have cut heads off of people because of ISIS?

If a liberal teacher can call the cops and have a kid arrested and expelled for making a gun gesture with his hand while playing during recess, you sure as shit can do the same to an Islamic kid who makes a 'clock' that looks like a bomb and brings it school on the anniversary of 9/11. Personally, this whole thing looks suspiciously calculated to draw attention and incite an emotional response from all sides.

From what I'm reading he brought in the circuit boards in a pencil case. Cops confiscated it and put it in that case. But feel free to delete this comment if it runs counter to your narrative

hahaha what the fuck!!!

you got to be a fucking Idiot to think that something that needs to be plugged in to an outlet is a bomb. hahahahaha

Americans are hilarious.

But purrins got a point anyone boy that build something like that probably would joke around about it being a bomb.

*edit guess he didn't make suitcase clock but a trapperKeeper clock, I'm siding with fuck up on this one.
