I just can't fricking get over the fact that they handcuffed him. And not when they were still unsure what was going on... after interviewing him. While they drove him to the police station. A 14 year old in the back of a squad car in handcuffs. That's some sick, sick shite.

The first time I was in handcuffs it was for cheering at a football game after being warned not to stand up - Colorado vs. Alabama Independence Bowl, CU got a rare first down. It was a helpless feeling that I wouldn't wish on an innocent 14 year old.

Barry just invited the kid and his clock to the White House. No shite, it's not a joke.


Maybe this is one long con by ISIS or Al Queda?

Also, Zuckerberg invited him for a visit as well.

That police department and school will never live this down.

the teacher, principal, or a police officer would break away from the cookbook and simply said 'Hey kid, can you tell me about this clock and show me how it works?'


I think you grossly overestimate the IQ of the average english teacher and police officer.



I find it interesting the engineering teacher who knew what it was, and knew it posed no threat wasn't consulted before the police arrived.

Nobody wants to look at the facts as presented.

Ahkmoods father is a well known Muslim activist known for pranks such as this. Caterpillar says inadmissible....

Ahkmood used passive aggressive tactics when question by the principal/ teacher and police when sequestered in the office at school. Caterpillar says inadmissible because he's brown skinned....

Ahkmood against the advice of the electronics teacher who covered for him initially and will be fired when this is all said and done took the device into another class and plugged the case into the wall where it chimed instead of blowing up causing the sequence of events.

Some of you are just drop dead stupid....

The little stunt was the Jihadist father acting out through the child putting a thumb in every eye of the 9-11 victims families and our service men who have been blown to smithereens by these IED's.

See it for what it is...

Hopefully this would be a death knell for zero tolerance, but it won't be. If finger guns and pop-tart guns can fly as "dangerous weapons" then people are always going to scream this was right too.

Heads should hopefully roll for this. As people have already posted a real bomb and a "Movie bomb" have only the second word in common. It's a CD case with wiring in it for crying out loud.

Have the resource cop come look at it, fine.

Maybe ask the first period teacher why he didn't write a note for the kid or say "Good job, let me hold on to that for you." Since he had misgivings.

Give the kid after school detention for causing a class disruption with a home made alarm clock. Maybe get that first period teacher in on it so it's less punishment but more about common sense and extracurricular.

But don't be the principal that panics over nothing and don't be the cop that thinks slapping cuffs on a nerd who's just applying himself is a good idea.

Whatever happened to the Texans that fricked the Mexicans? What happened to the Texans that Lee praised?

All scared of Motorcycle gangs and Jade Helm. Letting the Sheila Jackson Lees represent y'all.



Get it together before you become all the worst parts of California.


At least the cops aren't trying to charge anything.

ou tell me what rights were violated. Do you understand that people are interviewed by police CONSTANTLY without having broken any laws? That's not a violation of rights. Do you realize that isn't automatically some sort of "rights violation" for a minor to be interviewed without a guardian? 

At this point it really just seems like you're being a blubbering vagina about a kid getting put in handcuffs. Oh the humanity.


You do realize that exactly this mentality is the reason why I tell my kids to never speak to a police officer without me present? Call it what you want, but I won't have my kids talking to some idiot with a badge admitting to things they didn't do.

There's a possibility, however small, that this kid fully intended to make a functioning bomb and bring it to school.


Again... cook-book automaton explanation.

The police if they were thinking independently would likely just interview the kid, look and examine at his clock, write a report. Instead they handcuffed him, took him to jail, and interrogated this 14 y.o. nerdy kid wearing a NASA shirt like he was a ISIS master-mind...

Please provide links supporting any of this crap being anything more than your own paranoid opinion.

Who the hell is 'Ahkmoods'?

If you are doing the name thing to be funny... it actually made you an bigoted idiot.

The picture I saw showed a bunch of wires in a suitcase. Nothing like any clock I've ever seen, and odd by anyone's standards.


he made a makeshift clock case.

big deal.

its a very common thing for those who build and mod electronics to use random things as outer casing for various projects.

Sure, so why did his electronics teacher tell him to keep it hidden outside of his class?

September 13th is the first day back from the 11th as well.

This kid trolled you and America and you're too stupid to read between the lines.

No where in the link does it mention his Father specifically. You are accusing him of being some kind of terrorist for some reason please provide the links....or is it just all in your paranoid brown skin fearing mind?

God damn I pray we don't share the same Alma Mater. Please tell me you are a sidewalk UGA fan and not an actual fellow alum.

I guess English teachers aren't smart enough to know that there have to be explosives for it to be a bomb.

This isn't Hollywood. Wires and batteries don't make a bomb

Probably because he realized that most of the other teachers werent smart enough to know what they were looking at. He was right.
