If we accept the story about “inventing” an alarm clock is made up, as I think I’ve made a pretty good case for, it’s fair to wonder what other parts of the story might be made up, not reported factually by the media, or at least, exaggerated. **************** Good comments at the actual site.
He plugged it in during English class and the English teacher freaked out when it started to make noise.
He’s wearing a NASA shirt and his dad’s an Islamic activist. It’s a set up.
He wasn’t detained because of his “project.” It was his non-cooperation when asked about it.
The kid is not only flunking engineering class, he’s flunking English class too with his remark that “he didn’t want it to be much suspicious.” Maybe if he wasn’t fooling around plugging lousy inventions into walls in class, he’d learn something.
But he does have his defenders and fans on this forum.
When you call the cellphone, the LED display lights up, flashing
Surprise, surprise!!!
BOOM!
I love this article as it has a lot of simple hard facts in it.....
I had the same reaction to the image I saw of the thing yet its the facts that win the day.
The Obama culture is very sick
Pure and simple. What is the purpose of a clock that you have to carry around and open to see? Why not wear a wrist watch? Why plug it in in English class? To get a reaction, of course!
Clock vs bomb timer - there’s a difference?
That said, he should be deported back to Crapistan, or wherever he came from. Along with his entire family. And none of them should ever be allowed to come back into this country,
One the narrative is out there, it’s too late. Facts don’t matter. Good article though.
Moslems are sick.
The real news is that our president, and the CEO of Facebook are too stupid to know what true technical creativity is.
It takes very little effort or creativity to deconstruct electronics.
The creativity in this endeavor was all social - knowing the reaction to a collection of electronic parts, knowing how to frame it as a discriminatory event with Muslims as the victim, getting the press to react and knowing our muslim sympathizer president to react were a logical extrapolation.
Which goes to show, Obama doesn’t know a “cool clock” when he sees one, or doesn’t see one. The folks slobbering over this kid show their ignorance.
His father is a known activist that has been pushing his islamophobia crapola for years.
It is not inconceivable this was a set up by dad
I took electronics in high school...from 1980-84. One of our first projects was to build a digital clock....from scratch.
It was easy...everyone went by the same design....a 60 hz processor....power supply...and an led with 4 spaces.
When finished...it was the size of a wallet.
This was no science project.
