The question should be asked -
PC aside, was it unreasonable to be suspicious of this device?
That answer is no.
It’s only because he’s a middle eastern kid and a muslim that is causing the PC crowd to be up in arms.
There’s something else that I’ve been thinking about on this.
The first article I read on the arrest said that the cops showed up, saw the kid and said “oh, we figured it was you”
Did anyone else see that part?
It would indicate there was some kind of history to this too.
