If it were a ‘white’ student it would have been all over the news....by not naming race and Identity, they answered the unasked question...

Sounds like a soda bottle bomb, not an “explosive”.
Loud, and can injure someone a few feet away, but not on a par even with an M80.

“If the bomb went off in downtown Detroit would it make a noise?
;)”
That would be called normal background noise!
In Detroit, one would start worrying only if the sound of gunfire and bombs going off, was not heard.

Lots of teeth gnashing, wailing and hand wringing over what is most probably a kid's prank.
Dollars to doughnuts it was a tinfoil & toilet cleaner soda bottle bomb.
Fun to play with, but the stuff is caustic, so some care must be taken.
Today's attitudes in schools mandate severe penalties for anything from a loud fart upwards, so this kid is probably facing 20 to life.
To: cajuncow
Do the kids actually do better since their public school uses the word “Academy” in its name? Just like how chrome valve covers make the car go faster?

Who says kids aren’t learning?
To: cajuncow
Sitting here laughing that someone actually named a school, the “Multicultural Academy”. There is no line between satire and reality, anymore... lol.

Vinegar and baking soda? Dry-ice and water? Or one of my favorites, metallic sodium flushed down the crapper.

If the bomb went off in downtown Detroit would it make a noise? Yes. It the sound would echo off of gutted structures for nearly a minute.

Bomb goes off in hallway, but nobody could notice any additional damage.

Strange that they would name a place Roberto Clemente Learning Academy in Detroit. Didn't think there were enough Puerto Ricans there to bother to pander to. Plus, Clemente played his entire major league baseball career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, so he is not identified with Detroit at all.
I could think of dozens of other people - blacks and whites, living and deceased - for whom it would be more appropriate to name that school.

Thanks grellis and justiceseeker93 for the pings. Here in Grand Rapids we’ve got this nondescript “amphitheater” named for Rosa Parks, which really makes no freakin’ sense at all.
