However, once it was established that it was just a clock, that should have been the end of it, instead of making the kid do the perp walk in cuffs. Irving probably just bought itself a very expensive lawfare suit from CAIR/ACLU.

Pencil case?
Quite possibly one of the stupidest quotes I have ever seen from a police officer.
The kid and his parents need to lighten up. He’ll have one HECK of a story to tell his progeny.
Old news. He’s been released, not charged and on his way to visit with Obie from Nairobi.
I wonder if I was to copy that and take it to the airport what the TSA would say when I told them it is a clock.
Notice that when CNN (and other propaganda organs) perceive a muslim (or other victim classes) to be a “victim”, they will splash his race or religious identity in the headline...
But when they are seen as perps, no one knows what they are.
So what would have happened if he tried to board a plane with that “pencil case”?
I’m not unaware or unmindful of the dangers that unrestricted immigration pose to the West, but this kid sounds like he was born here of immigrant parents, and was showing off his handiwork, rather than hiding it away for Jihad Day at the Mall or something.
This sounds like more idiotic overreaction from school administrators who can’t distinguish between a Pop-Tart and an operable firearm.
gee wonder why the cops questioned him for a long time an never felt like they were getting straight answers?
That’s why the kid did the perp walk- to tell his story down at the precinct
any kid walked out of a school by the cops for any reason is in cuffs - sop, seen it
any anyone thinks this was an overreaction- how’d you like to find this under your airline or subway seat?
Did he actually make a working clock, or did he just remove existing clock innards and put them in a pencil case.
Just a clock...with an alarm...with connectors for a 9v battery.
In other words an event timer to set off juice to the buzzer or for some other purpose.
He seems to have too much circuitry for what it purports to be.
If you don’t recall the achmed who was stopped on the ferry from BC to Seatlle google it. IIRC he had several cheap Casio wristwatches that had been altered. The use of the Casio was adbocated by on of the better islamic bomb makers.
Just sayin’.
and Oh yeah, on 9-11 the secret service would have been happy to let the kid visit the WH with this in his backpack
What is it Homeland Security says?
I’m not torn.
He took it to school, showed everyone, no secret at all.
Grotesque and stupid overreaction by idiots who miss the real threats all around them.
Kid is a decent elec tech at a young age instead of being glued to video games or wasting time bouncing balls around.
And the dimbulb cops and school “administrators” put him in handcuffs?
Yet another reason to forget the government concentration camps they call “schools”.
I’m torn about this too. I can sort of see both sides.
It doesn’t look like there was anyone at the school who was willing or able to “establish that it was just a clock”.
However, if they actually thought it might be dangerous, they would have called a rep from the nearest bomb squad, who could have told them it was just a clock.
Then again, even if it is just a clock, it may be only half of the device. The bomb part might be elsewhere.
Is it really our fault if we are jumpy about muslims carrying such things?
The blame for the paranoia I think can be morally assigned about 2% to those arresting the innocent kid, and 98% to the false prophet Mohammed and those that continue to carry out atrocities following his barbaric example and teachings.
We should make 1000 of these and send them to the White House. Label them “Science Project Clocks for Obama & Hillary” since that’s what they seem to believe they are.
This is interesting
“Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?” Obama said. “We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.”
“Ahmed, if you ever want to come by Facebook, I’d love to meet you,” Zuckerberg wrote.
The lanky teen even received job leads — for when he’s of age. MIT astrophysicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein and NASA engineer Bobak Ferdowski told him to give them a call in a few years.
My take: This is the result of schools’ fear of lawsuits, Feds’ influence on LEOs and a dramatic drop in IQs the past quarter century....
A return to local school control, local policing (and not being on the Federal teat) and common sense are in order. I’ll be returned to dust long before it happens...
