“Officials mistook it for a bomb.”

No, they didn’t.

Oh goodie, another “where’s the barf alert?” article.

...a 14-year-old student named Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for bringing his engineering project (an electronic clock) to his high school....
So, taking a 1970’s clock out of its case and putting into another is an engineering project worthy of a White House invitation?

Maybe a working transporter, replicator, a cure for cancer, flux capacitor, or an Interrositer.
Not this cr@p.

[TXBlair]

What the heck is a “soldiering” iron?

Pathetic.

[JennysCool]

I notice this article is dated 9/16. Later revelations have made Ahmed and his Dad’s actions questionable, at best. As in “Astronomy Night is when we blast you to the moon, infidel!”

Yeah, you just try to get that “clock” you “invented” past the Secret Service and see how far you get.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Never let a good lie go to waste.

[P-Marlowe]

Wouldn’t it be ironic if he brought a bomb?

[kaehurowing]

It was a hoax bomb,not a clock.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Maybe Ahmed can blow himself up while standing right next to Obama, than it would be win/win

[mass55th]

And don't forget to bring your homemade, er, store-bought clock, er, bomb.

[jughandle]

So in light of recent developments with this kid and his “invention”, does the invitation still stand?

[smokingfrog]

Just wait until you see his telescope!

[TChad]

Do the zombies who get their news from the usual leftist news outlets understand that this was a hoax? None of Ahmed’s teachers would have been impressed by his ability to use a screwdriver to disassemble an old clock. The only reason he took the clock’s innards to school, and the only reason he set the clock’s alarm to go off while he was in class, and the only reason he refused to answer questions about the clock, was to provoke reactions that he and his family could label Islamophobic.

U.S. Chief Data Scientist D.J. Patil must not be very smart as to not recognize that the brilliant Ahmed neither built or create a thing. Do you believe in Globull Warming as well? Idiot.

Yesterday, a 14-year-old student named Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for bringing his engineering project (an electronic clock) to his high school. Officials mistook it for a bomb.

It was not an engineering project - he took a commercially available alarm clock and took it out of its casing and affixed it to a pencil box that looks like a briefcase. He invented nothing. He was arrested on suspicion of bringing a hoax bomb to school.

So is this an open invitation for all slimes to come to the rainbow hut with explosive timers? Please no C4, just the timers.

This may work out better than we hoped!

Maybe Achmed’s sisters could perform a round of hearty ululations at the high point of the eclipse.
