Kid and his parents knew exactly what they were doing. You don't have to be a muslim nuclear scientist to figure that one out.

It's pretty telling when Bill Maher, Chris Matthews and Mark Cuban, none of which would ever be called "right wing bigots, nutjobs, etc." virtually all agree that the circumstances upon which this incident is based seem very suspicious. The only dissenter in the group was Jorge Ramos who frankly didn't care to hear any of the facts other than that the kid was a muslim.


But, but it was just a clock and he was hogtied and water boarded down at Gitmo!

Kids don't do that. If they do, they are really a terrorist in training, especially with his name. Lol

Context, my man.

My response was entirely to the following notion:

If you are part of a population that is justly known for something bad, you should not expect people to ignore that.


It was, in no way, commentary on the OP or the story. Just the idea that people should be willing to validate and submit to their stereotypes.

Which is fricking assanine!

IMO, it was ok to call the kid out and investigate, but handcuffing and arresting him is a symptom of idiotic zero tolerance policies that people have railed on long before the war against Islamic terrorism.

Link to these "credible reports".? Unresponsive to a request (taking it out again LATER) does not mean mute.

This is likely it. The kid seems bright I guess. We have no idea what his thought process was. The way some kids are little brats, he may done exactly what happened. Take a clock apart and make it look similar to a bomb and create a mass news story.

So if someone brings a fake gun, that looks exactly like a real gun, but has a clock in the handle, he should be allowed to carry it around school and put it on his desk?

And when told to put it away, he should be able to ignore authorities and continue to brandish it?

Most kids don't make a You-Tube videos claiming just this after the POTUS gives them the invite.

I will allow it as evidence against the defendant.

I agree, those of us with a brain knew from the beginning what the kid and his parents were trying to do.

From the beginning, this whole story is a non-story. It's a bullshite product of our media. The left-leaning media blew up on the initial story. The right media is going to run with the secondary hoax story. In reality, it doesn't fricking matter and your life would be much better if you didn't give these stories the time of day.
