Clock boy’s ‘hoax’ has legendary scientist steamed; ‘I feel a fool’.

[quote]Ever since the initial rush by the left to defend Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Muslim who built a suspicious looking clock in a briefcase, his story has been unraveling.
Prominent people have expressed skepticism at the teen’s claims that he didn’t intend for the clock to look like a bomb amid reports that he was uncooperative with police. A tweet that saw him rushing off to his lawyer for a lawsuit stirred suspicions even more.
Enter famed scientist Richard Dawkins — the evolutionary biologist and normally a hero of the left — who expressed anger at himself and others for being fooled into giving Mohamed “mistaken adulation” as gifts have begun arriving from Microsoft and others.
Unlike some others, Dawkins admitted he had been originally fooled by the incident. Evidence has since surfaced that the “homemade” clock wasn’t made by the teenager at all.

Two threads, no links.

Anyone with half a brain could see this kid did this for the attention. Being a smart arse to the police was the kicker. He had a lawyer on speed dial

I could tell he was a terrorist just from his name.

When you're a certain race you should think long and hard about the things that you do and how it may be perceived by others.
Stereotypes exists for a reason.

Just read through the old thread. Full of idiots talking about how this kid should sue the fricking city and anybody else he could sue.
Keep on believing the lies you fricking moronic sheep.
Sincerely yours,
The Infidel

yep. an immediate knee-jerk "you racist islamphobes" without ONE SINGLE fact other than 'arrested for making a clock and he has a middle-east sounding name'.
now the facts are coming out and those people crying in the streets for this charlatan are too embarrassed to admit they were fooled so they are doubling-down.
Posted on 9/21/15 at 11:05 am to butterball101
This whole thing has been blown out of proportion by both sides. Give it a rest and let the kid slide into obscurity again.

Seems like an appropriate topic for this board. Particularly after so many of you bent over backwards trying to defend this "innocent little kid" and demonize the school, police when the story first came out even though it was pretty obvious there was more to the story. But frick giving teachers and the police trying to do the best they can in making judgment calls the benefit of the doubt when we hear half the story right?
Kid apparently had a lot of you fooled but don't worry you are in good company. Zuckerberg, Obama, and the entire over-reactionary media were right there with you.

I see one down vote (make that two) so obviously this thread targeted one or two individuals and they are not happy about it.

bullshite.
Every time we hear some story of a mass killing or a school security incident, there's always a "we should have seen the signs" situation. Everyone acted appropriately (excluding this little bastard and his father).

his claims that it was his "invention" should've been the first red flag.
he took apart a clock and stuffed it in a suitcase
