Judge throws out clock boy 'discrimination' lawsuit

Mohamed was arrested and charged with bringing a hoax bomb to school.  Those charges were later dropped, but the resulting furor from the incident became a litmus test for "Islamophobia" in America.  Those who supported the "innocent" teen were tolerant, broad-minded, and welcoming of diversity.  Those who think the student wrong were haters.  Ahmed ended up being invited to NASA headquarters and an event that featured President Obama as the left rallied to his cause.

Meanwhile, his father moved the family to Qatar but stayed only nine months. When the family moved back to Irving, they demanded $15 million not to pursue legal action. The town and school district refused to pay the extortion, which resulted in the lawsuit thrown out yesterday.

The lawsuits and extortion demand are pretty strong indications – if not proof – that the entire incident was a scheme concocted – probably by the father – to soak the city and school district for as much money as they could get. Obviously, the family was expecting a quick settlement. But Irving fought back and has now been vindicated

The family say they will refile the lawsuit, and the judge has given them until June 1 to do so. But the judge's reasoning in throwing out the suit in the first place – that Mohamed failed the most basic legal test in a discrimination lawsuit – means that a similar result will ensue following the refiling of the lawsuit.

That’s because Obama was our ‘Clock-boy President’. The Democrat party took your garden-variety Chicago Marxist, removed from its original context, and wrapped it in shiny new psycho-babble wrapper. And they all ooohed & ahhhed for 8 years as he went from one pratfall to another.

Good comparison.
