Obviously I think the police overreacted but this boy is a bit out of touch with reality if he thinks there is nothing alarming with a person whose name is Ahmed Mohammad bringing to school what looks like a timer for an IED.
But what do I know? after all, it all worked out for him in a very big way. Maybe I should send out email poems in the form of Nigerian email scams and when someone arrests me for wire fraud, I would claim my obvious innocence for just writing a poem and then score some major computer equipment from Microsoft.

You're making too much sense, Ender.That story is mostly BS- and with Pamela Geller adding her 2 cents in, anyone with 1/2 a brain knows it's gonna be anti-muslim.
The kid brought it to school.
Showed his engineering teacher.
Teacher told him to not show it around.
Kid put the PENCIL BOX containing his clock, in his book bag.
The alarm went off in English class.
The teacher kept it.
And then - see something, say something.
This is a 14 yr old kid, for pity sake- next time you are arrested, handcuffed, and scared out of your mind with police threats, let's see how "cooperative" YOU are- especially when the cops are trying to make you confess.

Ahh, so if his name was Billy Bob Johnson, he built the clock, showed it to his engineering teacher, and it happened to go off in English class, *then* you'd be outraged at the notion of children being forced to edure a secret police interrogation.
Or perhaps you're bold enough to acknowledge that you don't really mind secret police interrogations for any school child. What if a five year old brought it in for show and tell, as a project he and his beloved big brother were working on together?
How many cell phones, clocks and wrist watches should The State confiscate because they could all be used to comprise "part of a bomb"?

The Muslim kid did not build a clock. He took an existing clock and put it into a case that looked like a hoax bomb. There is a good chance the kid and activist parent knew exactly what they were doing and what the response would be.
His engineering teacher told him not to show anyone knowing what the response would be. The kid lets it go off in class anyway. This kid that is being spun as some sort of genius is suddenly too stupid to turn off the clock and not realize the ramifications of his actions. I am not buying it.
Further the kid was uncooperative. At that point the kid had to be questioned. Using children for bomb delivery in the Islamic world is pretty common. What is to say that cannot happen here. The Garland terrorist attack was only 30 minutes from this school

Remember these are the same people who think poptarts look like guns......
Grasping at straws to prove you aren't an idiot but the only thing you are doing is doubling down on your stupidity. The Constitution wasn't meant to protect people like you who drop your pants and grab your ankles at the site of a badge. It was meant to protect people against authortiarians loke this kid. The cops over stepped and here you are like the progressive you are defending them.

The article answers it's own questions before it asks them. It says authorities claimed Ahmed "didn't have a reasonable answer" as to why he had it. THe next sentence then says, "the student told them that it was just a clock that he was messing around with". That's not reasonable? Messing around with technology is not reasonable?
And see, this is the exact problem: "after he revealed the device to the teacher, school officials notified the police, and Ahmed was interrogated by officers... “You can’t take things like that to school” without explanation or assignment in today’s world without it receiving scrutiny." As others have pointed out, it was no more a bomb component than a cellphone is. It's an absurd over reaction because the kid looks like the scary terrorists they show us on tv.

If school administration was so worried about this 'bomb' why didn't they evacuate the school, or call the bomb squad, or any of the other things that they would do in such a situation?

Could you show where Ahmed was 'uncooperative'? The article you posted says he told the cops it was a clock he was messing around with. Which is the exact truth. He was uncooperative in the way an innocent man who is unable to name his criminal accomplices would be.
Also, It was in his backpack, he wasnt showing it off, and it made a sound. He wasn't disobeying the engineering teacher; he was doing exactly as he advised. "Too dumb to turn it off"... you've never heard a cell phone go off at an inopportune time?
What is with the statists showing up all of a sudden?

the school did nothing wrong. the police did nothing wrong. The kid did not build a clock, apparently just took out the components of a clock from its plastic casing and put it inside a pencil case.
The kid was likely instructed by his father to do this as a political stunt to further his cause. I really do hate to side with nitwits like Palin and the bigots at Breitbart.

I am statist and pro-police now for questioning the Progressive narrative for this news cycle and not being a shill by a spouting some PC narrative.
It is such a shame since I think people were making progress in this country in exposing police abuse and changing the narrative. Yet just like Blacklivesmatter there are some here doing everything they can to discredit that message and ensure it remains a conspiracy theory spouted by Progressive lunatics.

WHEW! I'm glad the cops cleared all that up!
Way to go asshole. You took a perfectly good meme that was used appropriately to show mangled babies and people at the hands of police and watered it down to a kid's prank, you killed it.

Yes, in 100 percent complete sincerity, I would echo your comments here and add:
Thank you police, really.

"Half a bomb", you mean minus the go BOOM part? Is that still a bomb, or is it just a clock?

Then stop.
That meme is ridiculous- there are much bigger and better ways to accomplish political stunts.
What is so hard about understanding a 14 yr old playing around with tech stuff and making things? Lottsa 14 yr olds do this. What's so hard about taking it to school to get some praise from a teacher?
It doesn't matter whether the clock was meh or magnificent- what matters is that a kid was doing something creative and got smacked for it.
Welcome to our PC world.
