The police made a mistake, clearly.

I am not sure I agree.

I think this kid and his dad intended this pencil box clock to get exactly the response from teachers and police that it got.

That in my mind is a bomb hoax which I believe is against the law. Something like inducing panic.

Apparently this family tried to stir the pot where the kid was in school in Houston too. The kid complained that people were being mean to him and that he was threatened by the vice principal. This was in a letter to the editor in the Dallas Morning News from a supposed good friend of the family. His dad was too busy running for president of Sudan to follow up on the kid's complaints so they asked for the help of this letter writer.

I agree, with the response they knew was likely, and then grounds for a lawsuit and more “victimisation” propaganda, until the generality of stupid Americans actually believes that ISIS is an oppessed group and white Americans-as usual-are their oppressors. Really, it is amazing how Muslims manage to turn the horror of 9/11 and every other Muslim-enacted atrocity onto their heads and deflect the truth, into them being the victims, when the worst that has happened in this country to a Muslim by a non-Muslim, other than garden variety crime which every group is subject to, is some graffitti. Does anyone now remember the beheading of the woman in Oklahoma by the Muslim? Did her family get invited to the White House? Was there a cause promulgated from that event by any group? No, to all of those.

The only "response" that Americans have gotten to domestic Muslim atrocities is increased scrutiny of Americans, rather than Muslims---TSA searching old white women in wheelchairs, all of us having our emails scrutinised (and being thereby being persecuted by the IRS and other government agencies), etc. All of the real consequential reactions have devolved upon Americans, while out in the public square of opinion-making, the propaganda is that Muslims are the victims here.

Think like a mooselimb ... the bomb hoax has two possible outcomes given our current culture: the ‘clock’ gets the kid arrested and or expelled from school, or the ‘clock’ is correctly identified for what it was intended, a non-exploding bomb mechanism. Both outcomes give the moose slimes a chance to sue the dickens out of the powers that be, all the while grinning over the stupidity of America in ignoring the truth of these twisted people.
