Sure, great, he made a clock. Why bring it to school?

When the cops asked questions about why it was a clock and what the idea of bringing it to school was, he had nothing to say. Because his story doesn't make sense.

In today's environment the school would have been derelict if they didn't call in that thing. Have you seen it?

His dad put him up to it, even if the kid was unaware.

The cops did over react by arresting him. They should have taken the device and sent the kid home, like schools do when a white boy nibbles his pop tart into the shape of a pistol.

this kind of thing is done all the time to provoke litigation and challenge laws

His dad is an activist and attention seeker for the cause of fighting anti-Islamophobia.

He was called a bomb thrower at school before it all went down. He says that when he build the clock he took steps to make it less suspicious. That means he knew in advance that it could cause suspicion. The first teacher who saw it confirmed that by telling him not to let other see it.

He didn't really build a clock. He bought (or did his parent buy it?) an old electronic clock, presumably off of eBay. Coincidentally, a clock of that type was the one used in the Air India 182 bombing, which killed hundreds.

Once he bought the old electronic clock, he took off the cover and exposed the insides (again, realizing it would look suspicious).

Although he was warned to not show it again he did. Supposedly the second teacher heard beeping or something. This part is less clear to me. Did he keep it running? Plug it in? Use the alarm feature?

Naturally the school did what it should: get the device and ask him questions. Not surprisingly he did not have good answers. Officers say he was passive aggressive when asked questions. There was no real reason to bring it to school, he knew in advance it would be seen as suspicious and the first teacher warned him.

There was no need to arrest him. They should have suspended him for a few days.

You will hear and read almost none of this in the mainstream media.

Anyway, you're right that he shouldn't have been arrested. He should have been taken to the principal's office while the police quickly determined it wasn't a bomb. Not sure a suspension would be appropriate either.

Mistakes were made, but this race-baiting bullshit shows why all Muslims should be deported.

But listen to Mark Cuban, who talked to the kid and can shed light on the situation. The kid was put up to it.

Jorge Ramos is an idiot and has no ability to debate with intelligent people. Every time he tried to make a point, it's a thin point and when someone challenges him, he looks away and mumbles.

For once Chris Mathews is right but he makes a point that contradicts what he does all the time. He says that everyone makes up their mind about who they align with before they even know the facts. Then he says we are living a "fucking cartoon." xo Mathews.

also weird and frustrating that he cut off cuban who seemed to have some insight into the kid's faggot family

My complaint is that our shitlibs have reached a stage of overripeness where they can no longer defend ourselves and doesn’t even particularly care to, where, for reasons that are hard to understand, they come to idolize our own enemies. And, which is worse, where none of this can be said openly.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3242198/Richard-Dawkins-lays-Texas-schoolboy-Ahmed-Mohamed-claiming-clock-invention.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus

Richard Dawkins has provoked outrage by belittling the 14-year-old Texas teenager who was arrested on suspicion of building a hoax bomb that turned out to be a homemade clock.

The scientist and writer slams Ahmed Mohamed for claiming the clock was his 'invention' and hits out at tech firms that have rushed to offer him invitations and freebies.

Dawkins also questions whether the teenager was, in fact, trying to get arrested.

'He disassembled & reassembled a clock (which is fine) & then claimed it was his "invention" (which is fraud),' Dawkins wrote on Twitter.

While conceding that the police should not have arrested Ahmed, he questions: 'what was his motive?'

'If the reassembled components did something more than the original clock, that’s creative. If not, it looks like hoax,' he adds.

in that video clip from Maher's show, Cuban says that while he was talking to Ahmad, Ahmad was a guileless kid when talking about science but when Cuban asked what happened at the school the kid's sister was taking over the conversation.

we already know the dad is an attention seeking activist.
