A 14 Year Old Kid Was Jailed For Building A DIY Clock
Deep Funk:
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.
Deep Funk:
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.
Marvey:
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.
