DALLAS – Daily Wire Editor-In-Chief Ben Shapiro did nothing wrong in questioning the motives of Ahmed “Clock Boy” Mohamed, a Muslim student who was detained by police after building a “clock” that resembled a bomb, a Texas court ruled.
A Dallas County District Court judge this week dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed against Shapiro by Mohamed’s father, Mohamed Mohamed, over Shapiro’s comments about the September 2015 incident at MacArthur High School in Irving.
Ahmed Mohamed was only a few weeks into school when the then ninth-grader came to class with what he described as an “invention,” which was basically a disassembled clock that was sloppily reassembled in a pencil box.
Mohamed showed his science teacher, who advised him to put it away. Later in the day, when the clock began beeping in his English class, his teacher took action because she believed it looked like a bomb. Mohamed was detained and questioned by police and briefly charged with possessing a hoax bomb, though the charge was later dismissed.
Mohamed’s politically active father, who has ties to terrorist-sponsoring foreign regimes, then took the boy on a world tour and was photographed with wanted war criminal and Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir before visiting the White House at President Obama’s invitation. Obama tweeted support for Ahmed as police investigated the situation. (snip)
Shapiro told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly the incident “was a setup and … President Obama fell for it because it confirms a couple of his pre-stated biases against police and against people who he perceives to be Islamophobic.”
“Within the first forty-eight hours it was clear that this was a bit of a set-up and it was clear that the story didn’t hold together,” Shapiro said.

Clearly Clockboy set out to provoke, draw attention for “Personal reasons” and was PURE HOKUM
The Clock has hit Midnight Daoohd
Too bad, clock boy. You should have gotten this case through the court system while 0vomit was in office. He and his DOJ completely supported politically motivated lawsuits and anti-American terrorists.
Trump is going to put the kibosh on this “Let’s soak the infidels for as much as we can, Achmed!”
Clockboy’s pappy gets to dig deep.
FYI, a motion to dismiss is hard to get, harder than a motion for summary judgment. This should never have been filed.
MoRE wInNing!
Too bad, Islamist father of Clockmed, that you’re going to have to reimburse the defendants (you were trying to shakedown) for all their legal and other costs to defend themselves.
I love LOSER PAYS — it smells like JUSTICE.
I’m very happy about that.
Yes to that.
I very much doubt that his father will pay anything.
This sort will refuse to pay until the last second, then leave the country.
Clock Boy was national news when the media played him up as an example of “islamaphobia”. Now that he’s shown to be a fraud, we don’t hear from the MSM.
Clock Boy has had his 15 minutes, there comes a time when you are just better off to walk off the stage and STFU.
Clockmed and his father did a test run on school response and didn’t like getting caught. F them.
