View Full Version : 14 Year Old Muslim Arrested For Bringin A Clock To School
Kid straight up lies at 0:34 into this video. It wasn't made from scrap and put together.
He said some of the boards were already manufactured.

Sorry man, all of this obsessive dissection is happening strictly in the conservative bubble. For libs and most other people, it HAS gone away. Kid hasn't trended since day 1.
And I'm not sure how exactly anyone got "played." The fact remains that a kid got arrested and suspended over a clock in a pencil case that (1) obviously wasn't a bomb, and (2) obviously wasn't being used in a bomb threat.
If anyone got played it those of you who continue to be butthurt a week later just because he got some kudos from famous people.
Kudos for what though? He unscrewed an alarm clock and screwed it into a pencil case. Basic motor skills are nothing to be proud of.
(3)obviously he and his father knew the reaction to his shit "invention" would garner them attention.

Regardless of how he made it, he got kudos and you guys can't stand it. I'm not defending his craftsmanship. I don't care.

If so, they were right. The authorities still had a choice in the matter.

As with all conspiracy theories, y'all's narrative seems a little contradictory. His father is a diabolical genius who concocted this entire controversy which he knew would lead to instant celebrity for his son and political gain for himself, but they're also idiots who can't make a homemade clock without simply moving the guts from one container to the other.

Have you decided whether his device looks like a bomb yet or are you just afraid to answer?
I predict you will do everything you can not to answer that simple question.
I'm afraid to answer. You have demonstrated explosives expertise. Explosive diarrhea that is.
All thread long you are attempting to push your agenda that in no way shape or form could it be a bomb and how dumb everyone is. Now that info comes out from a bomb expert that it looks very much like some bomb makers have put together, instead of owning up you attempt to change the subject. Not that your twuntiness comes as a suprise to any other posters, it does not. Throw in DarrinS posting the college campus clips where no one thinks it looks like a phone, and you run along as quick as you can.

'Clock-boy's' sister was suspended for 'bomb' threat
The 17-year-old sister of Muslim “clock boy” Ahmed Mohamed says she too was suspended from school due to a “bomb”-related accusation.
Eyman Mohamed told the Daily Beast during a day-long interview with the family Sept. 17 about an incident where she was accused of wanting to blow up her school.
“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with,” Mohamed told the Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/17/man-i-went-viral-my-day-with-ahmed-moahmed-the-most-famous-boy-on-earth.html). “I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it. And so, when I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up, so I’m making sure he’s standing up because it’s not right. So I’m not jealous. I’m kinda like – it’s like he’s standing for me.”
The young girl said her suspension did not take place at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas. Instead, her punishment came during her first year of middle school when the family moved to the state from New York City.

Conspiracy involves planning and collaboration from at least two people. I don't think this was a conspiracy, but might have been a prank.
As a kid, I took things apart to see how they worked. This is what curious kids do who eventually go on to be engineers, etc. So, in that sense, I can relate to Ahmed. Actually, by the time I was Ahmed's age, I could rebuild small engines (but I digress). Today, I'm the parent of a kid Ahmed's age, and I can tell you, they are incredibly tech savvy and can hack and build incredible things. They call themselves "makers" these days. We just referred to it as tinkering back in the day. Anyway, if Ahmed, as he claims, wanted to impress his "engineering teacher" with a disassembled digital clock slapped into a pencil case, that doesn't make sense to me. He's smart enough to know that a teacher who understood electronics would see this for what it was -- the guts of a clock placed in a box. No mods -- not even any mods to the enclosure. I'm not sure what he thought they'd be impressed with. Secondly, he plugged this thing into an outlet in English class. This doesn't make sense to me either. This is the class where the clock beeped and the teacher became alarmed. When asked about why he plugged it in during English class, he said he "wanted to impress all of his teachers". Something is fishy about this. In another interview, he said he was showing it to another student in English class and the alarm when off. This is when the English teacher said "What was that noise?" and that's when Ahmed immediately unplugged the clock. This doesn't sound like he was trying to impress his English teacher, but instead shows that he knew it was inappropriate to have that plugged in during his English class.
It may be that he was just trying to impress his fellow students with the clock and had no idea about all the events that would unfold.

He's confusing the words impress and scare. With this info on his sister it's clear they plotted this....it's a passive -aggressive hoax meant to tow the line...he's lucky they didn't evacuate the school and make things much harder on him. ..I started out giving him a slight benefit of doubt but it's becoming more clearer he plotted this with his sister .. she was previously accused of bomb threats and this kid knew it... he wanted this exact response. ...it's why he wore that NASA shirt..he was playing coy

If there is a Texas law for possessing a "hoax bomb" and that's what they believed it was, what were they supposed to do?
(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly manufactures, sells, purchases, transports, or possesses a hoax bomb with intent to use the hoax bomb to:
(1) make another believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device; or
(2) cause alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.
See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/txstatutes/PE/10/46/46.08#sthash.FEkuQT2r.dpuf
If they believed if it was a hoax, they need to get hoax training. Neither (1) nor (2) happened. It was a wrongful arrest.

I'm trying to ignore his family, for now, and just focus on what Ahmed said he wanted to do. As a piece of technology, a digital clock is completely uninteresting. The basic design hasn't changed much in over 30 years. Most kids that are into electronics nowadays are playing around with single-board computers, digital cameras, video, audio, alternative energy, etc. If he made a solar powered clock, I suppose that might impress a science teacher. Taking the guts out of an existing clock and putting them into a box might impress a science teacher if the student was 7 or 8 yrs old. This is a high school student. There's something wrong with his story.

I didn't really get interested in this until I saw the blog (and video) of the guy reverse engineering the clock. Then, I started to wonder why this kid put the working guts of a clock in a pencil box to "impress his teachers"? What was this kid thinking? Then, other videos and articles came out about his family. The things Mark Cuban said on Bill Maher about the sister giving him answers. Then I started watching interviews with Ahmed. There are things he says in these interviews that just raise other questions. The whole thing is pretty fascinating, tbh.

That is THE question. I don't believe he was trying to impress his English teacher. She didn't know his clock existed until it made noise. He was actually showing it to another student. I'm not sure why he lied about this.Eh, maybe he intended to show it to the teacher at some point and was showing to the kid first. IIRC he was showing to people through the course of the day.

Today, Mohamed’s family announced that they had hired two attorneys to help retrieve the science project from Texas police. However, BuzzFeed reports, police say that they already notified the family that the clock is available for pickup—and has been since last week, when the case against Mohamed was closed.
Mohamed can stop by weekdays between 6 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., when he isn’t making appearances on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, as he is tonight.
Still trying to appear persecuted.

I no longer give him the benefit of the doubt....he and his sister planned this...they're dad from what I've read is also a rabble rouser...he didn't invent anything at all...and like someone said maybe if he was 7 or 8 you could make the remote claim that it was cool but at 14 almost 15 no fucking way....this lil nikka full of shit :lol

I know that building a PC from parts isn't something to "crow about" and that's precisely my point. This is something that a LOT of 14 yr olds (and younger) can do. That's why I'm specifically comparing it to disassembled clock-in-a-box.
The "clock" required a screwdriver and the correct sized box.
There is some thinking involved in parting out a PC: compatibility of parts, correct case, cable management, power requirements, performance characteristics, cooling, etc. That's how it's more impressive than disassembled clock-in-a-box, but that is a really low-bar for comparison. That's how unimpressive clock-in-a-box is.

Here it is.
They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.
They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this figure from the paper:
Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the trolls! Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write in their paper:
"... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists." [emphasis added]

This thread has run its course. I think we all agree now that this situation is very gray. People are keen to say who's more at fault when we should be concerned about fixing all of the problems. Police messed up. School didn't handle it the best way. Ahmed was either naive or mischievous. Society jumped the gun. This went wrong for a lot of different reasons, and this type of thing won't be prevented if we don't deal with all of them.

If you feel I am describing you or someone else here feels I am describing him, that is not my problem.
Do you have an opinion about the situation, gtown, or are you just going to paste some more Wikipedia headings?

Sure, but aware to what extent? The conspiracy theorists seem so think Ahmed has a really nuanced understanding of attitudes formed by 9/11 to the extent that he could fully exploit them to his personal gain or at least serve his political agenda while acting ambiguously enough to get away with it. Am I getting this right or am i missing something?
Another conspiracy theory is that Islamophobic teachers, administrators, and police in Texas (it's always Texas) conspired to humiliate and persecute a bright, young inventor because he is a Muslim. And that this NEVER would have happened if he wasn't a boy with brown skin named Ahmed.

I would describe it as cascading overreactions. Islamophobia may or may not have had something to do with it. It's not like Ahmed hadn't experienced Islamophobia before.
No collaboration between parties would be necessary for all to overreact.

But Texas is a red state full of white, gun felatin', bible-thumping, hetero males. What else did we think was going to happen to a brown kid with a weird name and strange-looking parents? He had no chance when he brought that time machine to school -- what with all it's electric gizmos and what not. Did we really expect them fellers in Texas to understand the brilliant invention presented in that pencil case? Not a chance. This kid deserves better -- something like a full ride to MIT or Stanford and guaranteed 6-figure starting salary at Google or Facebook.
