The left had a triple whammy of self-congratulation this week when Texas teenager Ahmed was arrested(!) for bringing a bomb to school. The problem is, allegedly, he had brought to school a digital clock he built, to show to class. So this was allegedly a case of Texas being racist and anti-Science!
Except most of the facts were wrong. He didnt build the clock, and the school had reason to believe it looked like a bomb.
Anthony at Art Voice has taken down the situation thoroughly... Anthony...found that the clock Ahmed allegedly built, was originally sold at Radio Shack. Pictured is the clock Ahmed put into a case to bring to school: a Micronta 63 756, sold by Radio Shack:
The shape and design is a dead give away. The large screen. The buttons on the front laid out horizontally would have been on a separate board a large snooze button, four control buttons, and two switches to turn the alarm on and off, and choose two brightness levels. A second board inside would have contained the actual brains of the unit. The clock features a 9v battery back-up, and a switch on the rear allows the owner to choose between 12 and 24 hour time. (Features like a battery back-up, and a 24 hour time selection seems awful superfluous for a hobby project, dont you think?) Oh, and about that M logo on the circuit board mentioned above? Micronta.
Thats right, Ahmed didnt even bother to remove the silkscreened logo and part number Micronta printed onto the circuit board. Anthony also points out the other killer element: Why would you put a clock in a pencil case? It has a lid, that closes, meaning youll never actually be able to read the display.

Why didn’t you include Ahmed’s clock in the test?
Well, if you buy a kit you still built it. But it is deceptive and it did look like a bomb.

It wasn’t a kit. It was an existing clock he took apart.
Just one Muslim in every school is turning our world upside down. The lawsuits alone are rediculous!
Heathkit is still in business?
Who knew?!!!
If he builds a Radio Shack kit and is considered a budding electrical engineer, I suppose I’m a carpenter. After all, I’ve assembled plenty of IKEA furniture.
The little terrorist-in-training called it “his invention”, and because he’s black we’re going to pretend he’s a scientist or budding Bill Gates.
As Bernard McGuirk on the Imus show says, “What happened to see something, say something?”
He took a perfectly good working clock apart and rendered it useless for anything but as a timer for whatever else was supposed to go inside that case.
Wildcat, Those normal pencil boxes won’t work. To be Ahmed, you have to use a pencil box that looks like a suitcase so that it looks more like a bomb.
BTW.... I am wondering if this kid actually had a suitcase pencil box lying around his room, or did he go shopping for one, or maybe did his Dad buy that one for him to use for the hoax?
Oh, he bought it. In one video he said you can get them at Target and they cost $5 or $10 so he even knows the price. Sorta.
Some people keep saying this is a countdown clock but all I've seen says it was the regular clock without a case, like the USB hub he also invented, by taking the case off of a USB hub.
He should be able to fit the old router in there if he takes it apart real good.
He's so excited that he'll get free stuff from Microsoft too. He doesn't have a NASA t-shirt, but has one with a picture of the Moon on it...hope it works!
I've got more old electronics in the attic, will have to dig around there today.... He could do real good and get an Apple computer....
Will also dig around the garage, he could get a Tesla!
/sarc
Another ‘genius’ for Suckerbergs army of Facebook geniuses...
He may not know that what he did was stupid, but it doesn't make it any less stupid.
I heard obama invited this wannabe jihadist to the white hut, will the kid can take his project with him, will obama order the secret service to let him be... BOOM!
Regarding scenario feared.
What I’m hoping is that some credible ex-Muslims inside sleeper cells, Madrasa’s and Mosques, someday come forward and tell us the whole agenda and time line of their plan.
Incredibly brainwashed loyal bunch they are.
Gotta wonder if intelligence agency’s have enough useful informers within the Muslim community to stay updated on their plans of attack?
