And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ahmed got screwed by an ignorant teacher and then an administrator who was an idiot....If they REALLY thought it was a bomb, then why didn't they evacuate the school? Or call the Bomb Squad Techs?
It's my opinion that little Ahmed isn't just the innocent kid he's portrayed by the media. He didn't really invent the clock, the first teacher told him not to show it around, and then he did, he was unhelpful with the police ( and it's true the school fell right into the plan here with their no tolerance policy), and then immediately he was represented by CAIR, who appeared everywhere with him. His "clock" did in fact resemble a suitcase bomb. I think (opinion only) adults around him used him to bait the school to overreact, and it worked like a charm. Funny how instantly he was invited to the White House. The whole narrative as the media likes it is great for emphasizing how bad we Americans are and how sweetly innocent and discriminated against the Muslims are. They can't get real Americans to discriminate and abuse them, so they (again, opinion only) are purposely creating a problem where none exists. I think the whole thing stinks of a set up. I'm in complete agreement that the teacher and administrator were fools here, but for a different reason. I expect we will hear much more on this story as time goes by.
B - your statement about why they didn't evacuate contradicts the first statement. The teachers knew it wasn't a bomb, but also knew it wasn't a fricking clock. Really, in this day and age, who brings a timer device with wires to school? Especially since (as I've read elsewhere) he'd only been in that school several weeks. Thus the teachers didn't really know him or his motivations. Then he wouldn't answer questions about the device. Complete setup.
His clock did NOT resemble a suitcase bomb, unless you only learn about such things from cheap movies..nothing that resembles any explosives there....unlike your picture above. Remember, you haven't likely seen anything that shows the case in scale...it was about 8.5" by 5" by 2". Not exactly a suticase sized thing there....
This was, likely just caused by ignorant unknowing liberal educators who waited (remember this part) over an hour before calling the police....
Young Ahmed may well be a pawn of CAIR....but he was aided and abetted by some really bad educators and administrators...and a likely racist cop.
First of all, I see nothing wrong with being a "racist" - - - unless you're White (sarcasm).
Further, resorting to name calling is a classic Marxist tactic employed when one is incapable of presenting logical arguments.
But, seriously, in this particular instance, there are some unanswered questions and some outright lies.
Why did Ahmed's science teacher advise him to not show the device to anyone?
Why did the police retain the device in their custody?
Why did days pass before the public was allowed to see photographs of the device?
Why did three (03) teachers agree that Ahmed should be arrested and suspended?
When questioned, Ahmed couldn't explain how the clock was put together.
The clock was actually a Radio Shack clock removed from its original casing and placed inside of a pencil box.
Granted, no explosive agent was visible.
But, there are other possibilities, such as a device for detonating an explosive concealed in another location, or a hoax device intended to test the school system's responses in a dry run.
Ahmed's father is a known Muslim activist who has a record of having created similar incidents.
Not funny, really.

Not sure what your message here is...

I remember when we could buy those gag clocks.
ReplyDeleteAre they still available on the open market?
I thought they'd been outlawed.
As for Ahmed:
