The Clock Ticks (Ahmed Mohamed's clock bomb)

[chrysostom]

No not really

If my 14 year old son had been arrested wrongly by the police and I had legal rights to restrict what they would say id use them.

I do wonder why you keep repeating the same questions though

don't you wonder why mohamed elhassan mohamed is not suing the school and the police?

I am particularly enjoying the fact that you continue to say his full name in an attempt to stir the prejudices of those on forum against Muslims. Carry on. opcorn:

Where is that thread? Because this fulminating liberal would have defended him. Although, making an electronic clock (even with instructions from a kit) is a little more impressive than eating half of a Poptart and going "pew! pew!"

True! True!

 

[chrysostom]

I do not.

they treated his son like a common criminal without reason

wouldn't you sue?

They would also lose. They can't prove any purposeful wrong doing, just a misunderstanding. It would probably get tossed.

Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed now has to explain to his son what is going on

don't you wonder why he didn't sooner?

I wonder why you're just talking to yourself and trying to kill this thread.

Explain what, exactly?

why didn't the son of Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed
know it might not be a good idea to bring something that looks like a bomb to school?

It's a pretty spot-on Breitbart impression, actually.

It might have been a genuine mistake, maybe there was something missed in the discussion. I really don't know.

So, the Elephant's Child, only genuinely dim?

Ya! And just think, the kid got an invitation to the white house because of his heroism and I hear he's being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!

It beats being hand-cuffed for cobbling a clock, that's for sure.

But of course the fulminating liberals didn't have a word of praise for the kid who ate a pop tart into the shape of a toy gun and got the book thrown at him?

Hadn't heard about that one, but I think we can all agree there's a difference between something made to look like a weapon and something made to be a clock.

Unless it's a clock with a gun sight, of course. But that's only common sense. lain:

No. And why are you talking to yourself?

Someone who understands him has to. It might as well be him.

they treated his son like a common criminal without reason

wouldn't you sue?

No, but I understand the discretion aspect of the case, how difficult it is to successfully sue government agencies, local or not and how that could turn sympathy to something else. How many people are self-evidently eager for that something else.

Ahmed admitted he knew in advance the "clock" might look suspicious.

There were a few threads and a bunch of posts, I must have missed it. Where did he say that?

“I closed [the ‘clock’] with a cable, I didn’t want to lock it to make it seem like a threat. So I just used a simple cable so it won’t look that much suspicious.” - Ahmed
