Obviously a 14-year-old would build an explosive device’s trigger, not attach it to a bomb, and wave it in front of his teacher’s face. That’s just logic.

Isn’t there more to that photo? Isn’t there an actual clock face?

GOP, are you cherry picking again? We told you not to do that, otherwise you will get hairy palms.

Maybe they should open their computer cases or their phones and see if there’s anything in there that looks like a circuit board and wires, or as they say, “half a bomb”. If there is, they should turn themselves into the police and admit to being a hoax terrorist.

Says wingnut with half a brain and ZERO common sense.

The arrested him, and they didn’t let him call his parents. If that were your son, and that happened, you’d cry bloody murder.

Well a lot of things look like something that they are not. Case in point … these two fucking idiots. They actually look like humans with normal thought processes.

Wingnuts: Fighting the last, lost war…to win this time!

The US is one of the very few countries where screwballs who normally would be kept in the attic are actually given a public platform to speak, leveraged by a media who specialize in “controversy”. Sad that the citizens have so much time on their hands to allow this.

It’s no surprise that people with half a brain think he built half a bomb.

But it was half a bomb," Hanson said.

Except for the other half that wasn’t a bomb either?

They are not “Anti-Muslim Activists”, they are “Racist Fear-Mongers”

At the Boston Marathon, the bomb looked a lot like backpack. Inside, it looked a lot like a pressure cooker.

The family had better set their lawn sprinklers on “deluge” before Michelle Malkin and other associated wingnut stalkers set up camp in the yard.

All they are saying is -
Be Afraid - Be very afraid of anything or anyone Muslim.

NO matter how harmless or well meaning they are in this country.Just be afraid.

We could check the research, but my guess is that terrorists try to hide their devices until the last moment, when it’s too late to do anything. They don’t show it to all of their teachers.
And part of this child’s sin seems to be that he didn’t build a compact, cleanly designed device. First timer, clearly. But if he had been trying to design a bomb, wouldn’t it have been easier to get a cheap clock from a Wal Mart and tinker with that? Seems to be taking the long way around, doesn’t he?

Frank, you know what is commonly used to trigger IEDs?

Cell phones. Oh my god Frank Gaffney has a bomb tigger in his pocket. Better shoot him.

By the way, Frank… even if it was a bomb trigger… you know what a bomb trigger needs in order to be dangerous?

A fucking BOMB.

Actually, they are terrorists.
Their aim is cause political change through the use of terror.

They are terrorists.

Absolutely, 95% or better of every electrical device we own, including the toaster, can easily be made into a trigger device. So these idiots are advocating that I be stopped an arrested because my atomizer looks like a trigger device, it even produces a fine spray that could be used to spread a neurotoxin.

B y this logic every clock and smartphone is half a bomb, and every pizza could poison you if sprinkled with arsenic.
