Muslim kid tries to blow up school, Obama invites him to White House

[Parkbandit]

This was the kids plan all along. Throw everybody off with the 'bomb' so he could get invited to the white house. Where he will bring the real bomb.

The kid is a tool, being used by his father.

I guess not everyone is a clock and bomb expert as you clearly are.

You claim this looks like an innocent clock.



I disagree. I've never seen a clock that looked like that in any store I went to.

eta: I haven't read much about this and don't know for a fact that is the "clock" this kid brought to school... just in case you want to go "AHA!!! I WIN!"


I'm not talking about anything from the moment this kid brought this "clock" into the school... or that he looks brown.. or that he is a Muslim... or what the cops did...

I'm stating that in my opinion, if I had to pick "Does this look like a bomb or a clock" I'm going to side with safety and pick bomb.

<sigh>

That's not the clock. That's from a tv show or movie, and definitely looks like a bomb. (see the stuff that looks like an explosive behind it?) That's what you get for trusting WND as a news source.

This is the actual clock:



If you're able to get past what you've been conditioned by Hollywood to believe, can you tell me if anything in there looks like an explosive to you?

Looks nothing like a bomb.

The actions of the police clearly indicate that they didn't think it was a bomb. They did not evacuate the school, nor take away the clock for destructive testing.

Yes no shit because no one thought it was a real bomb. He got in trouble and arrested for creating something that looked like a bomb to cause a panic. You know, similar to how if you whipped this thing out on an airplane and said "Look what I made gais!" you would probably be arrested as well, even if it wasn't a real bomb.

There was no reason for the actual arrest or the suspension that followed afterwards.

Normally I would agree but in light of recent events I think it's just following standard procedure these days. For fuck's sake. Everyone is saying this is "racist"? Can you imagine for one minute if a white kid took a real gun, hallowed it out, made it into a "clock" and brought that to school? He would be suspended, probably get a followup visit from the police, and these same people screaming "Racists!" would be the ones cheering on the decision because most of these people are also very pro gun control and LOVE zero tolerance policies...except when it applies to brown kids. Who is the real racist in this scenario?

(also, for it to look like a bomb, I think it needs more than a circuit board.

I've seen so many people say stupid shit like this that it's pretty annoying now. Yes. Of course a bomb needs an actual explosive agent to, y'know, explode. That's not the point. Do you think real bombs have the word "Explosive" on it? Is it always so obvious that a real bomb is in fact a real bomb?

Hey, here's an actual IED, you know, a bomb.



Quick! Point out the explosive agent! Oh wait. It's not a bomb at all! It's just a cell phone wrapped in tape with some batteries, LOL!

If this kid is so smart and is such a genius why couldn't he figure a better way to display his clock? How many clocks are useful inside of a briefcase looking thing that you can't read the time of while the case is closed? Oh that's right, no clocks are useful in such a scenario.

I don't know if the kid really intended to cause a panic, but I'm willing to bet he's a smart ass and knew exactly what he was doing when he made it look like a briefcase bomb.

Where is the proof he made it to cause a panic?

Where is the proof he made it to cause a panic?

There is none, which is why he wasn't charged with a crime. Which is why I said I don't know if he really intended to cause a panic.

Easy for everybody to come to this kids defense when he isn't in the school your kid goes to. Major flaw of society is hypocrisy abound.
