       If they thought it was explosive they need to be charged with
       negligence for not evacuating the students.

       Lol...except poke around is exactly what they did.
       The first teacher told him to "put it away" and not show his
       other teachers.  The next few passed it back and forth until
       finally setting it on a desk and waiting there with Mohammed
       until police arrived.

       I had no idea that PERFECT BOMB DETECTION AND PERFECT CRISIS
       MANAGEMENT was mandatory! :o
       Bottom line; For someone who is smart enough to build a clock
       out of electrical spare parts it seems pretty dumb to not try to
       make a clock LOOK LIKE A CLOCK.  ::)
       For some reason I find myself thinking about that terrible Tim
       Allen Movie (I know that doesn't narrow things down much) BIG
       TROUBLE. (2002)
       "its a compact garbage disposal unit" in a briefcase?

       It isn't all that difficult WMD.  Has nothing to do with thought
       police.
       If they thought it was a bomb, the procedure is, in probably
       any school on the planet,  to evacuate the school and have the
       bomb disposal unit deal with it.
       If they did NOT think it was a bomb, then don't charge the kid
       with building one.
       Can't have it both ways, yet that is exactly what they are
       trying to do.
       The more I look at the pics, the kid didn't really build
       anything.  That is a digital clock that he's simply removed from
       it's original housing and put into another.  Nothing about it is
       handmade.

       So then why did he believe he had something to show off to his
       teacher.  If all he did was remove the clock from its housing.
       He is suppose to be this wizard with electronics. I still think
       he knew exactly what would happen. this was a set up to bring
       about a reaction and outrage.

       Now I may be reading the story wrong but the police knew it was
       not a bomb but were questioning him for carrying an item made to
       look like a bomb., that's the reason there was not evacuation.
       Don't we constantly have PSAs telling people to be vigilant.  I
       wonder if I had an item similar to what this student had and
       pulled it out during a rally for Hillary, or tried to bring it
       on my tour of the WH if they would think nothing of it?  The
       police were merely trying to determine what the boys intentions
       were he was not forthcoming. Erring on the side of safety the
       restrained him. I wonder if this same boy had been a pasty faced
       white boy and similarly arrested if he would be getting a visit
       to the WH?

       I have been thinking about the same thing, more or less, ever
       since this story broke. My guess would be something along the
       lines of POLICE AND SCHOOL BRAVELY DIFFUSE POTENTIAL SCHOOL
       BOMBING BY "MISUNDERSTOOD"  SMART KID SEEKING VENGEANCE BY A
       POTENTIAL COLUMBINE INCIDENT! angle. ::)

       Lol.  Not forthcoming?  Is that like yelling"stop resisting"
       when you are already on the ground in handcuffs?
       He told them exactly what it was and why he brought it.  They
       simply didn't like his answers.
       Oh...they didn't believe it was a "hoax bomb" either, but
       arrested him anyway.
       [quote]The police tell local news outlets that while they
       acknowledge that Mohamed didn't try to perpetrate a bomb hoax,
       they were also unsatisfied with his explanation.
       "He would simply only tell us that it was a clock," police
       spokesman James McLellan says.[/quote]

       Yeah you dumbshits...that's because it IS a clock, lol.  Oh and
       still no apology from them on the violation of the kid's legal
       rights.

       That's a good question. The answer is probably no.
       Here's another question since we're speculating:
       If he were a pasty faced white boy, would he have been arrested
       at all?

       The argument of why didn't they evacuate the school if they
       thought it was a bomb makes no sense. They also didn't make kids
       hide under their desks when the pop tart got chewed into the
       shape of a gun.
       I think the pop tart incident was a typical innocent kid
       thing....this clock made to look like a bomb was intentional to
       stir up trouble.

       He who seeks to stir up trouble always get more than his fair

       NO comparing an exhibit in a science fair to this but when
       grasping for straws to show some outrage I guess you take what
       you can get.
       I also see quite a bit of misreporting in this story , like
       claiming he wanted to impress his teacher and when he showed it
       to her she freaked, well actually he brought in a digital clock
       made from circuit boards and wires he threw together the night
       before. He showed it off to an engineering teacher who told him
       to keep it to himself (he should have listened). Later, in
       English class, the clock sounded off from inside his bag that
       that is the teacher when she saw it who was concerned. And as
       far as your claim of the boy explaining what it was according to
       the police the only thing he would say was that it was a clock.
       not quite what you claim. In this day of school shootings,
       bombings and other mayhem going on in a school do you think
       erring on the side of caution was wrong? That the person who was
       the student happened to be dark skinned well was that the reason
       or coincidence.
       By the way do you think this boy and his family will be required
       to go thru a security check when they meet the president? If so
       why?
       I guess in this case I agree with Bill Maher
