re: Clock kid plugged fake bomb into the wall and intentionally set the alarm

Your umbrage is with police protocols then. Perhaps they followed protocol. I have no idea.
The citizens affected should make their feelings known and change the protocol via a movement. It seems to work for others.
The little MIT feller didn't create or invent something. He dismantled something. What 14 year old would think that was an invention or would be impressive.
There has to be more to the story IMO.
I'm fine with folks that disagree and claim that this was racism. I find it hard to believe but it's a free country.
I do know this. It was very profitable for him to dismantle a stupid clock. He's been deemed a genius. Only in America as they say.

Teacher: Is that a bomb?
Student: No.
Teacher: It looks like a bomb.
Student: It's a clock.
Teacher: Your clock has exposed wires and a countdown timer. Plus since I'm being held responsible for the slaves I never owned, you are a suicide bomber.

How is a teacher to know if that is not an explosive or not? The parents knew better, and if the kids had been persecuted before, the boy would probably know better than to bring that to school. The first teacher should have confiscated it and called the parents. I back the school on this one, and I am probably more liberal than most on this board.

They would probably have some basis for thinking I was behind the threat, though--phone records, a witness. A lot more difficult to decipher intent in this situation, IMO.
see what i mean, no common sense.
would basis be that his sister had threatened to blow up the school previously. to me it would, but thats just me and my common sense getting in the way.

Only in America would we catch one on a trial run and a portion of the folks would apologize.
Criminals and terrorists really have to just look at each other and think "can they get any dumber"

And his sister was suspended for some type of making a bomb threat in 2009. He father is or was running for president of the Sudan. I believe he was disqualified. The father also has been know to follow controversy and seems to be using this as publicity for his campaigning.
And this proves he meant it to be a bomb hoax? You conspiracy theorists are cracking me up

the kid was doing this for the (negative reaction/attention), if you haven't figured this out yet you cannot be helped.
Obvious that the media spun it to make the school and cops look like morons. I suspect that the cuffs are a procedural thing. I'm done with this stupid story.

OK, so you provided a basis. I was unfamiliar with the tidbit about the sister, so what does have to do with common sense?

Nothing can "prove" that the kid intended for it to be a fake bomb just like nothing can "prove" that he genuinely intended it to be a project with no ulterior motives. There is circumstantial evidence, and it isn't on your side here.
But I suspect you will argue until you are blue in the face that no one can prove that this was simply a hoax. First it was "you can't prove the thing had a power cord," then it was "you can't prove he intentionally set off the alarm," now it's "you can't prove that he intended for this bomb-looking clock to look like a bomb."

No one had to have any proof or more evidence to bring him in for questioning. The police say at first he did not want to answer the questions of what it was.
The fact we are here arguing about if the police did the right thing and a vast majority think they did is very interesting.
There is enough questions surrounding what happened to keep investigating, as I've heard is continuing.

So the frick what? If they really did suspect he brought a bomb to school or there was even reasonable suspicion that he did, they were right to put him in handcuffs during a temporary detention. This would be done to limit movement of his hands to access a detonator.
There was more than enough reason to restrain the kid while conducting their investigation. And guess what- when people start finding things that closely resemble briefcase bombs with timers, they tend to get spun up. It's not like they dragged him down to a CIA basement and waterboarded him. They handcuffed him. Get the frick over it.
Is this really the best you've got? Is this what the argument has worked it's way down to- the fact that he was handcuffed?

Interesting how you've stopped saying he never plugged anything in.

Seems like a bunch of propaganda to me and I am NEVER a conspiracy type.
I remember when I first heard about this crap. This kid got king's treatment after this happened, and really fast like it was planned out or something.

He probably got more good treatment than he expected but he most likely knew it was going to cause at least some trouble. Funny how all his "supporters" have not said much about this being a hoax after sympathizing for this kid. Some of these librels still refuse to believe it was a hoax.

But they did not suspect it was a bomb.
And I am a conservative republican .

You're really coming across as an ignorant dipshit, but I don't think you care.

Tangerine, you should replicate this kid's clock, briefcase and all, and go through airport security with it. If they actually see it, just explain to them how it's a clock.
