Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old North Texas student who was questioned and detained after teachers at his Irving high school thought his homemade clock resembled a bomb, has been invited to meet with leaders of the tech industry, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest, Zuckerberg posted on his own Facebook page, adding that he would love to meet the young teen.s
Zuckerberg joins the ranks of President Obama, Hillary Clinton, White House Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith and Twitter co-founder and interim CEO Jack Dorsey, all of whom tweeted their support for Mohamed Wednesday morning.

Why do liberals have such a death wish?
The facts are too good to check.
Sorry Mark, he’s not H1B.
It’s worse. They’re just not suicidal, they’re more like suicidal bombers.
a potential happy ending...boom!
If I was the kid who created a gun from a Poptart, I’d sue.
His pretend weapon didn’t get any invites.
This latest kid was warned by his sympathetic science teacher not to show it to anybody, got busted when it made noise in class (apparently he plugged it in) so not only is he stupid or incredibly naive about what that thing looks like, he also can’t follow rules and instructions.
And his dad is an Islamic activist...Yeah, it’s all an innocent misunderstanding, I believe that.
They don’t have death wish, they just think it won’t happen to them
Demonstrably not innocent. The kid was told by his science teacher to not take it out of the classroom. He was told why. He therefore knew beyond a reasonable doubt that the “clock” looked like a bomb to many if not most people. He not only took it to his English class, he also plugged it in whereby it proceeded to make noises. It is almost a certainty that this was all done to intentionally produce a responses. When the cops arrived he would only answer that it was a clock. He offered no information that could have diffused the situation. Suckerburg is a fool, but you already knew that.
After attacks in NYC & Boston I don’t know why they don’t believe it can happen to them; leftist hives are preferred targets because of the population density.

Wow
Affirmative action in action. Pandering to brown people.
I saw a picture of it. It’s not a clock. It’s a timing device.
They are obsessed with showing they’re smarter than everybody else.
Suckerberg is an anus.
This kid is no clockmaker. He didn’t make that clock! He just Ed glued an existing clock to a pencil case!
He took apart a clock and put the pieces in a pencil box. This is now considered the best that American schools can produce.
I’d like to see a picture of this “clock” so I could decide if it looks like a bomb.
Ping...........Ringgggg...........Booooom!
The “Carriage clock” kid rides again!
