At this point there’s no point in aggregating ever last this and that about Ahmed Mohamed, especially since this is the newspaper that has Avi Selk on the payroll. But a reader did forward a Facebook post in which you might be interested — and, no, not Mark Zuckerberg’s, but an overnight post from Apple co-founder (and Midlake fan) Steve Wozniak.
Related Irving 9th-grader goes from handcuffed to hero over homemade clock frenzy GOP candidates weigh in on Ahmed Mohamed arrest for ‘hoax bomb’ Editorial: Overreaction in clock-bomb mix-up has chilling effect It began with a few sentences in which The Man Called Woz recounts his origin story, before he met Steve Jobs and crafted that garage myth. Wrote Wozniak, without mentioning Ahmed by name:
The story about the kid arrested for making a clock takes me back to high school in 1967. I built an electronic metronome and placed it in a friend’s locker, along with a tin-foil switch to speed up the ticking when the locker was opened. I couldn’t hold my laughter when Principal Bryld told me how he extracted the ‘bomb’, ran out to the football field (from the C building), and dismantled it. I wound up spending a night in ‘juvie’. I did teach other inmates there how they could remove the electric wires from an overhead fan and attach them to the metal bars no shock the guards. And that could have been the end of it — a retelling of the origin story also found in Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography. But instead, Wozniak responded to fans who thumbsed-up the well-known story.
Wrote one Steven Schuster of Racine, Wisconsin: “Sounds like you could have gone either way.”

Well, perhaps he is personable...but he has a strange and distorted view of what makes a “modern day hero”. I guess he, like many progressives and leftists, simply wants DESPERATELY to believe that he is an oppressed Muzzie child genius...wants it so bad that he’ll believe it despite all evidence to the contrary.
By the way, the Muzzie kid genius’ father will NOT allow the kid genius’ school or police records to be released. Can’t have the truth put out there, can we.
Want to be kind here, but he just called an enemy of my nation a “hero.” This is not eccentric; it’s America hating.
Yes.
And it is now a metastasizing cancer in our once-great nation.

Smuggling in bomb timers to school at the bequest of your terrorist father - not so much.
Yes
Sold that place years ago
Couldn’t have been more than a couple of years. Thats about the last time I saw him shoot past.
If you are thinking about the place just off Shannon, then that was sold years ago.
He moved across the street from another of mine, a mile away.
You must be very close to me then.
“Do you know where the children are?”
LOL
No, if you are in Carrie Nations territory, I am 40 minutes south, these days....
Another reason to avoid MSM (which is probably where he got his indoctrination / information)
He isn’t stupid, just ignorant and that is curable
