Discussion: Police Arrest 14-Year-Old Muslim Who Brought Homemade Clock To School

And for the rest of his life, this boy will have to answer, yes, when asked on job applications, Have you ever been arrested? That will go over real big considering his name.

When they sue, they should ask for compensation for future lost earnings.

Here’s a thought for the school. Maybe Dan Cummings, instead of sending a letter to parents about a threat that never existed and telling them to talk to their kids about the school’s Code of Conduct, should be ā€œusing this opportunity to talk withā€ his staff and telling them to stop hating on people who don’t look like them or who have a Muslim name. There was clearly never any threat to the school, as this was only serious enough for them to call in the police and not actually evacuate the building, something that would have happened immediately if there was any sense this clock was actually a bomb.

Yesterday I was defending the Texans because they couldn’t, all 30 million or so of them, be cowardly prejudiced idiots. Today, that’s all off. Insult Texas all you want, folks, it’s fine with me. Those stupid fucks don’t deserve to have smart people living in their state.

Blame the lawyers representing the victim! Really?

The clock is in the video piece attached to this story. Granted, I can see where someone might wonder, but once the kid explained his science project, any effing level-headed person would see it for what it is. Those teachers just wanted to play ā€œhero.ā€ They–and all police officers involved–are nothing but scaredy-cat losers.

So a goddamn high school principal and three of his teachers are basically endorsing this arrest…

I can’t stand it any more. Go ahead and neg me to oblivion or ban me for life from TPM, I don’t care.

This is fucking retarded.

Unbelievable. ā€œA circuit board and an hour and minute display in a pencil caseā€ā€¦even if an unassigned project, I’m stunned the teacher, with a glance, couldn’t tell the harmless nature of the ā€˜device’…The power of fear and the outsider, cower in your gated communities, Texans.

Maybe not. If he’s facile with robotics, he’ll likely never have to fill out a job application, ever. He’ll be sought and wooed.
