Well, no, there has never been such a weapon found in a school on American soil.


Well, I did recently hear a story about a rogue maintenance man in the Synecdoche, New York school district that had a bomb in his office inside a middle school.

In Schenectady, NY, a school maintenance man named Steve Raucci works his way up the ranks for 30 years, until finally he's in charge of the maintenance department. That's when he starts messing with his employees. Teasing them at meetings. Punishing them with crummy work assignments. Or worse things, like secretly slashing their tires in the middle of the night.

But was referring to the OT and poliboard.
I know, and my recent, drunken threads over there didn't win me any friends (Michelle's penis, LOL), but in all seriousness, the early news reports of this had to set off some red flags for you.

Normally, the picture of the object in question is the gotcha part of a news story like this. It's as if to say "look at what these idiots thought was a bomb." In this case, it was very conspicuously left out. We didn't get a picture until right wing sites started posting it. Ergo, numerous people have to have made the conscious decision to omit it.

Because it looks like a fricking bomb.

Also, the consistent use of the same terms (such as "pencil box") across a wide spectrum of articles is, IMO, intentionally misleading and indicates that the articles are being written from bullet points generated from a central source.

ETA: and again, the painfully unimpressive nature of the "home-made clock" is also a red flag.

Guilty. But his foot still fit perfectly in his big arse mouth, and it was a pleasure to hear. Overall, he's a great owner though.

quote:

"There's no more predictable team than the Rockets,'' Cuban said before the start of that series. "You know exactly what they're gonna do. But James Harden is so good. That's what analytics have begot. Right? Predictability. If you know what the percentages are, in the playoffs, you have time to counter them. Whether you're good enough to do it is another question. Because they are very talented, and James Harden, I think, is the MVP. Because that's not a very good team over there."

Congrats to the Rockets. Gotta admit I was wrong. A lot.of guys stepped up. Congrats @dmorey

The fact that you think it would take a genius intellect to come up with something like this really saddens me.



No, it's just to reiterate the point of how unlikely it is that the father is behind any of this.

Wow. That's so impressive and genius-y. No wonder the kid wanted to bring it to school and show everyone.

Dad doesn't seem like a deadbeat parent who's not involved in his son's schooling. Dad allowed him to bring that to school knowing full well what situation would arise from toting around something that could be easily construed as a bomb.

He was complicit in this act in one way, shape, or form.

Nope. And I'm sure I'm not the only person that respected school authority at age 14.

I don't doubt this at all, in your household.




Hooray for you. A kid who never acted like a shite to his parents or teachers. Would you like a medal?

Again, most 14 year olds are little shits who act like it when they feel like they are being unnecessarily come down on. Big whoop that a kid didn't react the way a teacher, principle, and cops wanted him to when they didn't like his answer about his clock being a clock.

i think without access to the texts exchanged by this 14yo and his sister and parents during the day we'll never know the real story.

i bet if subpoened and made public this would be very eye-opening.

I'm sure it's been stated already but you have to be some kind of special level of stupid to bring what looks a bomb to school.

And yes I know that briefcase digital clocks are all the rage these days. I bet that piece of junk would go for a $1,000 at a garage sale.

I agree. He might as well of attached it to a pressure cooker. They are just harmless cooking tools after all.

Only works if you're a stereotyped minority.

Honestly I think if you're from Chechen you could get a white house invite if you "invented" the pressure-cooker alarm clock.

how creative to have an alarm that goes off when the pressure cooker is "ready"?

Just call it the "Tsarnaev Timer" or TT

Well giving an answer would have taken away the free prizes & trip to Obammy land where he will get an award for inventing the clock.

You know just acknowledging his teacher and putting it up in his pack would have done a lot as well.

Wonder how a Sudanese school would have handled his tirade?

Didn't the kid say in an interview he wrapped the cord around the box to secure it because if he just locked it then it would look suspicious?

He did give an answer. He said it was a clock. In fact he willfully showed it to his first period teacher as a clock.

If this was some plan to fool the school and world, why would he willfully show it to his first period teacher as a clock? I'll await a rational answer
