Listen, from what I can tell from the things I've read and seen is that he had that case with wires coming out of it that he called a clock. And when he was prompted by his teacher to put it away, he didn't respond. That's odd. And weird.

The commentary here is our media. Not this kid with a science project.

Agreed: But they did think he was involved with intent to deceive in some malicious manner.

As evidence trickles out this may be the case.

Right, but it was intended to look like a bomb.

What are they supposed to say?

Sounds like you're suggesting minorities should do as we say, and everything will be fine for hem. You know, know they're place. And you got 30 up votes...what is this, the 1920s?

As horrible as your statement sounds, if you really want to open Pandora's box, then what does that say about white Christian males? Do we really have a place to be pointing the finger or are we just going to continue the typical cognitive dissonance routine we use ?

What do you think would happen if he brought that contraption, unannounced, to the White House so he could show it to the POTUS?

No shite.

These liberal idiots are just trying to save face at this point by arguing.

What facts? All I see is some old dude's opinion? Im being serious


Facts:

He didn't "invent" anything. The parts were not even from seperate places. He only jammed the guts of an alarm in to a "penicl case" that turned out to be a brief case. It required a cord to be plugged in for power. His 1st period teacher played it cool and said, "nice job, but don't show that to anybody else". Remember that plug? He had to have plugged it in in 6th period English because it beeped. So he disregarded the advice of the first teacher. Once he plugged it in he had to have intentionally set the alarm to time it to go off in class, thus the beeping. He isn't an inventor, he's a troll who got a huge bite.

Oh yeah, and this was the day after 9/11.

Intended to look like a bomb is speculation.

I agree and I feel proud that I suspected this from day one. Mark Cuban (no conservative, he) was saying the same thing on Bill Maher Friday night. This was manufactured and manipulated by the boy's family.

More cognitive dissonance huh? or do we wanna just keep acting like you know, they are all bad and some of us are all good.

Continually throwing stones from a glass house.

It's just pathetic to even suggest, as that poster did, that Muslims and anything that isn't white better follow our rules or else they'll get all the discrimination and prejudice coming there way.

30 people upvoted that. Maybe you should take issue with thatb

And where is this evidence that he did not put the pieces together himself to make the clock?



Doesn't matter who reassembled it. The fact is there's zero innovation in what he claims to have done, regardless of intent. He made a clock in the same sense that I made an iPhone because I took it apart to replace the screen.
