Texas teenager arrested after a homemade clock was mistaken for a bomb

[josephpalazzo]

This is about how the police responded to a kid with a clock.

A clock that look like a hoax bomb. The kid was told exactly that by his engineering teacher. The same teacher told him NOT to show it anywhere else. What does the kid do? Of course, he shows it to another teacher who then reported to the administration. The police had no choice but to investigate once they were called. When they realized it wasn't meant to be a hoax bomb, they released the kid. There's nothing improper here, just the antics of Islamic apologists.

WHo cares about his father. Pfffft.

He's the guy who called a press conference and turned this into a media fuckfest.

‘Clock kid’ Ahmed Mohamed and his family will move to Qatar

Less than 24 hours after Ahmed Mohamed met President Obama, his family decided it’s time to leave America for good.

The 14-year-old Texas boy who was arrested for bringing to school a homemade clock that authorities said resembled a bomb will soon be living in Qatar.

“After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization’s on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity,” the family said in a news release Tuesday.

Anthony Bond, a close family friend and the founder of the Irving, Texas, chapter of the NAACP said the family made the decision to leave the U.S. within the past 24 hours. They have spent those hours in Washington, where Ahmed has been on a mini-press tour in anticipation of his visit to the White House.

See what youu done? The most promising young  [Muslim]   inventor of the century was chased away by you, you bigoted hateful Islamophobic bastards.
I hope you are proud of yourselves.     :38:

It hilarious all the media attention and celebrity attention this kid is getting. They all pretend hes some kind of genius yet we know hes nothing more than a chess piece to the big guys. They do not give a fuck about his accomplishments, they just want some delicious PR.

Makes me want to convert to the Religion of Peace for all the adulations and special privileges the chosen people are getting.

Just terrorize and kill a few infidels and the rest will do your bidding.  They never had a more promising future in centuries.

’Clock kid’ seeking $15 million in damages

Two months after “clock kid” Ahmed Mohamed made international headlines, new details of his controversial arrest emerged Monday in a letter his attorney has sent to school and city officials in Irving, Tex.

As many as seven adults teamed up to interrogate the 14-year-old boy after a teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb and pressured him to sign a confession, according to the “letter of demand” from his lawyer warning of plans to file a $15 million suit.

Ahmed’s September arrest, deemed an overreaction by many observers, drew waves of sympathy and extensive news coverage; President Obama invited him to join several other science-inclined students at the White House’s “Astronomy Night” last month.

But his family, which shortly thereafter took up a benefactor’s offer to relocate to Qatar, argued in the letter that the boy’s reputation has been “permanently scarred.” They are seeking not only financial reparations but written apologies from the city’s mayor and police chief.

“Everyone in the country and around the world believes this has been a wonderful experience for Ahmed’s family, and in some ways, it has been,” said Anthony Bond, a family friend. “But now they are settled in Qatar, they have realized they are tremendously traumatized.”

what the actual fuck

He surely looks tremendously traumatized...

So it's a money-grab...

My thoughts on how people are reacting...

A. Yes, he is a douchebag... as is his family who are likely the one's really pulling the strings. You want to hate him for that, have at it.
B. No, it still doesn't justify how the school and cops reacted... no more than a douchebag getting randomly mugged and beaten by someone who never met them is justified just cause the guy was a douchebag.
C. On that photo: I don't think that necessarily proves he is traumatized or not. Do I think he is? Likely not, but it is still possible with his entire life being completely flipped over night (for worse or for better). However you can find pictures of veterans smiling and laughing and that does not prove them to be healthy anymore than this does.
