Just so we are clear. 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." |

Quoted: Why would a kid, simply remount the components of an ordinary clock, in a briefcase... Without any particular creativity or knowledge required... Then tell folks HE BUILT IT... When clearly he didn't build SQUAT... Then take it to school and have it alarm [I think that's what I read] during class IF he had ACTUALLY constructed something that required some knowledge of science/electricity/electronics... I'd have a different opinion. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Why would a kid, simply remount the components of an ordinary clock, in a briefcase...

I get that the kid's electronic engineering skills have been blow up by a media that wants to make this a story about a young genius treated badly by evil racist cops when all the kid really did was something simple and unremarkable. I don't see how him having done something simple and kind of pointless makes a difference v. him having sautered together a clock from parts he bought at radio shack. |

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... Not something more uh, manipulative or ulterior... |

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/092215-772291-did-muslim-clock-boy-perpetrate-hoax.htm 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. |

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. So says the Chief Defender of Their Faith. You never fail to disappoint, which is so disappointing. |
