Aimless, Bohr Adam you think this is just an innocent kid who took a clock to school to show off and is a victim of the war on muslims, right?





Where are you getting this?

He could have been sent here by ISIL personally, and it wouldn't change the fact that he brought in a clock to school and said it was a clock.





So you believe the kids story.  He built a clock to show off and this was nothing to do with trolling for a reaction?


I don't really believe his story for a second.

I also don't see the relevance to the facts of the case. I see a complete abuse of the "hoax bomb" statute.

I see a lot of people tripping over themselves to play right into the story his family seemed eager to write.




Considering what I think was going on...

The Statute was applied correctly.








Irving Police spokesman Officer James McLellan told the station, "We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only tell us that it was a clock."

Zero is useful in that regard.  If you are confused as which is right and which is wrong, just look for Zero's choice, and you know the opposite is right.

I'm all for the benefit of the doubt, but the whole family seems iffy.   At this point I'm willing to admit I'm biased and it will take a miracle for me to believe he is an innocent kid.

Please, I'd put big money on the fact that the father put that thing together. That boy was sticking to a script.  Hell, even Mark Cuban said as much when he talked to the kid on the phone....said it seemed like his sister was feeding him answers.

Aimless,

He Didn't solder together a clock from parts.

If you look at the pix, it was an ordinary alarm clock he or they took apart...

Then re-mounted the parts in a briefcase.

Any motivated kid with basic skills could do this.


NOTHING I saw needed to be soldered!!!!

It was a no brainer.




The telling issue [of intent] would be if he showed, explained, etc, what he did, to his teachers BEFORE it alarmed in the classroom.

That would suggest a genuine interest in the project...

Give putting a clock in a briefcase much weight???

I don't see the point to even do it.

Hell- I won Science Fairs all the way to the NATIONAL's... Won a full scholarship to a great engineering school. Before the Dopey Global Warming projects nowadays... I understand science projects


This alarm clock remounted in a briefcase to take to school to show others makes...

Absolutely NO SENSE  --to me... There's no skill or 'creativity' to show off.




Something else is likely going on...


I agree with you, this wasn't the kid's idea, maybe the dad had a lot more to do with it -almost certainly.



The TEST of the issue is what the kid did when he took it to school.

Did he disclose the 'project' to various teachers  --that would have defused the entire situation  

[Not that most JR high school teachers would have a clue]


But IF he did explain his project, I'd say it was an innocent mistake resulting in an over-reaction.


IF he surprised the folks in school with it alarming BEFORE disclosing and explaining the project, then I think something more underhanded is going on.

Here's the real story:

• There was no "school project" or science assignment to justify Mohamed bringing the device to school .

• Just three weeks into his freshman year, Mohamed was no "science whiz well-known by high school teachers for tinkering."

• The "clock" wasn't made from scratch but just the guts of a mass-manufactured digital clock, complete with AC cord and 9-volt backup battery connection.

• With its exposed wires and lack of a face, the gutted clock looked like a bomb. It also sounded like a bomb: The alarm was set to go off during English class; the beeping startled the teacher who called police.

• When police questioned Mohamed, he wasn't cooperative and was described as "disrespectful."

• The police chief said the device was "intended to create a level of alarm; in other words, a hoax bomb."

• Mohamed's Sudanese father — a Muslim political activist involved in previous Muslim grievances — reportedly asked the cops to re-handcuff his son — so his daughter could take the photo that went viral.

• Mohamed tweeted: "Thank you fellow supporters. We can ban together to stop this racial inequality."

• The family's spokesperson is the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a terror-tied group that in 2006 sued US Airways for kicking several Muslim activists off a flight for behaving suspiciously and rattling passengers — a stunt that looks eerily similar.

You can't trust the goddamn media to not flat out lie anymore. Goebbels would be impressed with the effectiveness of the disinformation and confusion created by our media. The kid gets arrested and is painted as victim, invited to the White House, gets all kinds of doors flung open for him, and by the time the world has moved on to The Pope's visit, then it comes out that the whole fucking thing was a hoax, and only a handful of people ever find out.





You have to wait at least two weeks to find out the real story on anything anymore, if not longer.



This whole thing is a fucking setup to make Irving look bad so that they can go after the Irving Sharia Law ban like they went after the religious freedom protection law in Indiana.

Aimless, you over estimate the weakness of todays teenagers.  Hell, I've had multiple teens question me over the years as to the legality and my authority of what I was doing when I have been in adversarial contacts with them.  Most kids know the juvenile system is a joke until you get maybe multiple charges or do something bad enough to be waived/bumped up to adult court.

What if the kid made a thing he knew wasn't a bomb with the express purpose of making it look just enough like a bomb to get a rise out of his teacher & disrupt the class but not so much like a bomb that people would think it was a real bomb?  

Would that make a clock a "hoax bomb"?  After all, the kid made it with the intention of causing a ruckus rather than tricking folks into thinking it's a bomb.

The little punk kid didn't make anything. At most he took apart an old clock and stuck it in a case. I would have given him an F for that little project. Instead, he gets an invite from the WH, MIT, FB and NASA. He media is also praising him like he's the next Tom Edison. It's Sickening.

superior people are always superior.  even when wrong.


None of your snide ranting makes a clock into a hoax bomb.


What if the kid made a thing he knew wasn't a bomb with the express purpose of making it look just enough like a bomb to get a rise out of his teacher & disrupt the class but not so much like a bomb that people would think it was a real bomb?  

Would that make a clock a "hoax bomb"?  After all, the kid made it with the intention of causing a ruckus rather than tricking folks into thinking it's a bomb.




He cannot simultaneously have made nothing and also made something threatening enough to calla hoax bomb. The fact that no charges were ultimately filed is a good indicator. The question is, should it have gotten that far?

Once competent authorities saw it was just a clock, and saw no evidence of any mods to rig some sort of blasting cap set-up, no HE, no... anything other than a clock, he should have been sent home at the worst. Maybe even detention. But cuffs? Really?

Contrary to what many have asserted in this and the other thread, nothing was ticking, this "device" was not one step away from being a bomb, it was not "half" a bomb. EOD uses x-ray equipment to see exactly what this "device" already allowed to be seen by design.

It is clear you me from my reading of the hoax bomb legislation and its use, it was put in place so people who phone in bomb threats or bring fake bombs places can still be prosecuted on a serious charge. Often, EOD can't know a device is a hoax until it's been disrupted. Hoax bombs can cause all sorts of mayhem. This was clearly not the case here.

Was he trolling for this kind of response? Again, maybe. Again, irrelevant.

If he was trolling to get a response to his fake bomb, which he clearly got, how is it irrelevant according to the law?

Maybe he should have made it look more like this.

So says the Chief Defender of Their Faith.



You never fail to disappoint, which is so disappointing.
