Irving Texas is a silly place

[Glen]

The mattress girl. The Rolling Stone rape hoax. Duke Lacross team. What happens to the people who lied? Nothing. Where is the condemnation of them? 

 

 

I saw plenty of condemnation of them.  What are you looking for?

[Glen]

The comments on breitbart are even better. Especially when it's about them dirty moooslims and Ay-rabs.

 

 

Say what you want about filthy liberals, but I've never seen anything to match the cesspool that is the comments on Breitbart.  Holy shit, it's terrible.

And his clock-bomb was just a 1970s digital clock that he gutted and put into his clock-bomb pencil case:

Ouch. If he ends up accepting those invites to visit Harvard he could look like a fool during an interview if asked basic electronics questions. Not unlike someone excessively padding their resume only to get completley destroyed during the in-person job interview. 

 

That said, short of the boy planting the case somewhere it was meant to be discovered it still looks more like an attempt to cheat on his science project than an attempt at terrorism with a mock bomb. The cops still severely overreacted to the situation. The correct response would be to detain the boy quietly in the principal's office then invite the police to question him, instead of making a huge spectacle out of things with a high profile arrest.

I guess we have different interpretations of "a simple yes or no." You claim to not know the situation well enough to comment, and then you go ahead and comment on it. Talk about passive-aggressive. Own your opinions, no matter how dumb or overblown they are.

I don't know about the officials' reaction. I do know that he didn't build a clock and I'm guessing that he was deliberately provocative.

Breitbart is bad. National review comments are better. Then again, daily kos and huff PO comments aren't that great either.

It wasn't a project. He just brought it on his own.

just a really weird story, beginning to end.

Texas freeway systems are shit.

There could just be a shortage of clock makers in Qatar. 

[Jay]

Scholarship to the "clock" making academy of Qatar.

[Jay]

The only reason that kid got a scholarship is because he's Arabic.

 

Bunch of racists in Qatar.

[Tank]

the clock maker of peace.

aside from just taking apart a clock and being falsely accused, i'm still trying to figure out what he's done to warrant so much attention.

From whom?

People support him because they think it makes their political enemies look bad. 

[Crampknees]

This kid is just another example of Obama indoctrinating children to his Muslim ways.  In his third term Obama will require all children to build a clock bomb and bring it to school.

Go big or go home

" Attorneys for the 14-year-old Muslim boy arrested after taking a homemade clock to his Texas school say he was publicly mistreated and deserves $15 million."

 

 

wasn't it simply a clock that he bought and then dismantled, and not really a clock that he built?

[Rico]

They were in the wrong to arrest him.  But 15 million?  I don't see how they can prove damages like that.

whole thing is super suspicious now.

[Crampknees]

whole thing is super suspicious now.

The dad is the real engineer in this family, and doing a good job at it.  This was a set-up from the get go. I give him credit for taking that city's Islamophobia and cashing in on it.  Damn Muslim schooled a Texan, go figure. The dad made the clock himself and when the news came to interview the kid they just tore up some USB cords and phone lines and tossed them around the room.   Really, a Muslim kid growing up in America only sits around and plays Grand Theft Auto and jerking off to Dairy Goat Journal all day. He is no scientist.
