Muslim Kid Clock Hoax

Oh, shit, well this changes everything. Bringing an invention to school is awesome but bringing a non-invention to school is a capital offense.
 
I wouldn't call it an "invention". Looked like an FPGA. He was probably going through a tutorial on simple digital logic. That's a programming job, not an electrical engineering one.
 
Has nothing to do with the kidnapping charges, false arrest charges and a host of other issues from this story.
 
He's an American to me, as long as he's registered to vote.

Vote for Netenyahu? Whats with the Israeli flag in your avatar? not at all saying you should change it but that is a bit unusual in this kind of community
 
These conspiracy theories are so ridiculous. Reverse engineering and playing with radio shack electronics is normal engineering inquisitiveness. I did the same shit as a teenager. Hell I was even more nefarious.... I modified radio shack tone dialers to allow me to scam payphones into giving me free calls when I was his age. And brought it to school.
 
BS

Remember that he was not arrested for bringing a bomb to school. He was arrested for bringing a hoax bomb to school. That is also against the law. Somewhat like yelling fire in a theater. Kid and his parents were probably unaware of that law.


He did not make a clock.
He did not make a bomb.
He made a fake bomb.
May have even used one of these how-tos:

I'm sure that everyone is aware that you're not allowed to bring a hoax bomb to school. But he didn't do that. He brought a real clock to school, and never pretended it was anything other than a clock, which is why he was released without charge and the school and police are now national laughing stocks.

And again, if this kid and his family really planned it that way, then hats off to them.

Just because some activity has a law written about it doesn't mean anything about the harmful intent or effect of that activity.

Exactly.

If the kid wasn't a Muslim this would be a non-story.
