Astroturf: ‘Briefcase Clock’ Teen’s Father Anti-Islamophobia Activist
Breitbart ^ | 9/18/2015 | Pam Geller

Posted on 09/18/2015 8:04:47 AM PDT by gwgn02

A Muslim teen, fourteen-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, bought a strange ticking device to his school, MacArthur High School. His device caused alarm and fear, and he was detained for having what his teacher perceived as a bomb. Police officers said the electronic components and wires inside his Vaultz pencil case (which is the size of a briefcase) looked like a “hoax bomb,” according to local news station WFAA.

"When police questioned the boy, WFAA reports, they said he was “passive aggressive” and didn’t give them a “reasonable answer” as to why he had brought his contraption to the school. “We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only say it was a clock. He didn’t offer any explanation as to what it was for, why he created this device, why he brought it to school,” said James McLellan of the Irving Police Department."

If the punk was evasive in his answers..then he knew what he was doing..any cop will tell you that.

Anti-Islamophobia Activist?

Is that different from a Muslim terrorist?

“If you see something, say something” is now racism.

We live in Bizzaro America now.

The boy's father has a past muslim activist/crybaby history and of course the media will ignore this fact.

I hear 0bama's DOJ will investigate the Irving, TX P.D. Good people may lose their jobs because of political correctness AKA suicide.

2016 is looking like the most important presidential election ever.

Only in America would any take seriously a person defending a Muslim teen who brings a timing device capable of detonating a bomb especially one with parents who are sympathetic to terrorist organizations.

Initially i believe the tale was attempted to be presented as some type of engineering project and the poor boy was treated unfairly.That turned out to be BS to the max.
He brought the contraption for no apparent reason other than to shake thing up,and AH Obama invites him to the WH
Kid needs to be watched along with the parents

If he brought the device to school in order to create some kind of social backlash and intended the device to cause a panic, that’s terrorism.

Obama sure acted quickly without waiting for more details on the story before he invited the kid to the WH...almost as if it was all planned in advance. Now we know more about the story its becoming clear this was a setup.

I do have questions on the arrest

1. If it was thought to be a bomb, why was the school not evacuated

2. If it was thought to be a bomb, why was there not a bomb squad called in?

3. If it was thought to be a bomb, why was the “bomb” but in an office with the boy while the school waited for police to arrive?

4. If it was thought to be a bomb, why did the police take it with them back to the station?

This is not procedure for when a bomb is suspected at all.

Typically the bomb squad is called in, there is an evacuation and people are not allowed back into the building until there is an all clear.

Ok. I got it. Kid’s dad helps him build thing that will cause school to go crazy. School acts stupidly. Media picks it up and plays up “islamophobia” angle. On cue, islamophile in Oval Office plays the same angle. On cue, jihadis seize opportunity to get victim points. Hundreds of thousands of jihadi-supporters stream through the borders while Americans feels guilty.

Didn’t the SRO who came in say “I thought so” or something like that (so said the kid). I’m wondering if he’s had trouble with him before?

Check out the mayor of Irving, Beth Van Duyne.

...and when you return, read what this fearless woman has said about the police department:

We are proud to have one of the safest cities in the country and that is due in large part to the diligence and professionalism of our police department. We are also proud that Irving ISD is nationally recognized by the National School Board Association and the Center for Digital Education for the school districts use of innovative technologies, STEM curriculum, and other practices that help our students excel in an advanced learning environment.

I do not fault the school or the police for looking into what they saw as a potential threat. They have procedures to run when a possible threat or criminal act is discovered. They follow these procedures in the sole interest of protecting our children and school personnel.

She's branded by the lametream media as an anti-Muslim Republican. To which I say:

Woo hoo!

Under her leadership, crime is way down and school scores are way up. Her fearless stand against muzzies shows that Irving won't take any of their nonsense. It sure seems that Irving is headed in the right direction.

Here’s my question:

How did our boy-child President know it was a clock? Didn’t he say ‘cool clock...’? What part of that contraption looks like a clock?

BS. It’s the size of any other pencil box, made up to look like a case.

I feel sorry for Vaultz. They’ll probably have to take the pencil case off the market.
