9th-grader arrested after taking homemade bomb to school

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Well, some of the details that came out were pretty compelling. The fact that he didn't "make" anything.

With that said, the school fell for it, hook line and sinker. I think the kid used the fear culture, zero tolerance shit to score big.

He used his muslim faith as a way to get attention.

COME ON OBAMA, MEET WITH AHMED IN THE WHITE HOUSE

 

[BlazerWookee]

And then we wonder why our students aren't becoming engineers when they grow up...he should have gotten an award for making a clock but his parents should have warned him about the design he chose.

He didn't make the clock, he took the workings out of a clock and put them in a briefcase. Pretty sure this is his activist lawyer father trolling for a big lawsuit payout.

Friendly reminder:



I find it very fucking weird he just showed this to his teachers unprovoked until one of them freaked. Seriously, the fuck is that.

This story will just get worse and worse for the left the longer it stays around. Time for a major distraction to get this story off the news.

Looks like Ahmed's dad's taxi company is called "Twin Towers Transportation"

A commenter did a little detective work online and found at Corporation Wiki this firm recently registered with the name of Aldean Mohamed as a director.

“Twin Towers Transportation Corporation” …

Now it could be that this is a different Aldean Mohamed.

But it refers to North Texas and to Sudanese, both of which check out.

And “Twin Towers” just sounds like this extended family’s wacky, edgy, publicity-seeking sense of humor, like participating as the defense in Rev. Terry Jones’ trial of whether the Koran should be burned, running for president of Sudan while living in Texas, or constructing a shoddy mock-up of a briefcase bomb not yet loaded with explosives.

Summary:

Via Daily Beast:

After the MSNBC segment, Eyman and I sit down in the hallway where she says the same thing happened to her as Ahmed.

“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.”

Eyman talks with the slightest lisp, almost imperceptible, but it becomes stronger as she gets emotional.

“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.”

Eyman said her suspension was in her first year of middle school, “my first year of attempting middle school in America. I knew English, but the culture was different, the people were different.”

The rest of the Daily Beast article is a festival of Ahmed delighting in how famous he is. The reporter doesn’t seem to really understand what he just heard, and then blames it on ‘Islamophobia’.

This part of Texas is a hotbed of Islamophobia. Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne in March claimed Muslim clergy were “bypassing American courts” by offering to mediate disputes between worshippers according to Islamic law. Residents of Farmersville last month fought against creation of a Muslim cemetery in their town. Garland was the site of a “draw Muhammad” contest hosted by anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller that was subsequently attacked by two gunmen inspired by ISIS.

Hear that? An attack by Islamists is even an example of ‘Islamophobia. Unbelievable.

It just gets better:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...spension-alleged-bomb-threat-3-years-earlier/

The sister of the boy who brought a suspected hoax-bomb to his Texas high school said she was suspended from a school in a prior bomb scare. Her suspension occurred in 2009 while she was attending middle school in the same district.

Lesley Weaver, a spokeswoman for the district, said school officials can’t release any information about the 18-year-old sister’s episode because the Sudanese parents won’t sign the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, The school has already sent the form to the immigrant Sudanese parents, but they won’t sign it, she said.

The sister is named Eyman Mohamed.

“I wish we could…. provide more information to the media,” said Weaver, whose school district and local police force are now facing worldwide claims that they unfairly targeted the sister’s brother — 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed — after he was detained Sept. 14 on the suspicion that he had brought a hoax bomb into the school.

The boy brought his device — a dismantled, 12-volt clock packed inside a school box — to show off to his teachers.

The sister claimed after the arrest that she had been suspended from a school for several days. “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,” she said, without providing evidence or proof.

The episode occurred around 2009, she said. The scare happened in “my first year of attempting middle school in America. I knew English, but the culture was different, the people were different,” Eyman said.

“I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it,” she said.

“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.”

Two days after the Sept. 14 incident, President Barack Obama intervened by praising the boy, praising his clock-in-a-box, and inviting him to the White House for an October event. “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great,” Obama tweeted, effectively suggesting that Irving officials were unfair to the Muslim boy.

Mayor Of Clock Boy’s Town Drops BOMBSHELL That Could Mean BIG TROUBLE
Although Ahmed Mohamed has been living it up during his 15 minutes of fame, it turns out his new-found celebrity status could be short-lived – at least for what he was expecting. While participating in an interview yesterday, Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne dropped a major bombshell that could mean big trouble for the so-called clock “inventor.”

The remarks were made during an interview with The Blaze’s Glenn Beck during the Glenn Beck Show, when the mayor and security expert Jim Hanson from the Center for Security Policy were asked to specifically speak about Ahmed, his clock, and the current controversy surrounding the issue.


The public narrative states that Ahmed was so enthused with technology that he built a clock to impress his teachers, put it in a little case, and took it to school. School officials thought it looked like a bomb, called police, and had him arrested on account of racial profiling.

That’s their story at least, and as we’ve seen, they’re sticking to it.

However, since that time, Mad World Newshas reported that the clock wasn’t really his technological creation, but rather the guts of a clock from the 70’s ripped out and stuffed into a case he bought off Amazon. As can be seen below, the whole process takes about 20 seconds once the screws are removed from the clock:


The worst part came during an interview, where Ahmed explicitly said that he was scared everyone would think it was a bomb, thereby indicating that he knew exactly what everyone would think the second he walked in the door. With that being said, it appears that we haven’t even heard the entire story yet, as Mayor Van Duyne explained in one heck of a truth bomb.

“This is one side of the story,” she stated, “but the other side of the story is not coming out.”

Apparently, the boy and his lawyers won’t sign the school’s release allowing them to give their account of the situation. Not only does this mean that liberals are jumping off the deep end without knowing all the facts (typical), but the school is unnecessarily receiving their fair share of frustration and violent death threats over a situation they’re not allowed to give their side on or defend themselves about due to Ahmed being a minor and his family’s unwillingness to allow the school and police records to be released to the public.


Mayor Van Duyne then turned her focus on the White House – President Barack Obama in particular – saying this whole situation, at least the negative aspect of it, is all his fault. “In fact,” she said, “I don’t even think the picture of the hoax bomb was released before [President Obama] tweeted out, ‘Cool clock, kid.'”

Jim Hanson went on to paint the picture that the family was out for such a reaction, saying that his sister admitted in an interview that she was kicked out of the same school for making bomb threats. Establishing a violent history regarding the family, it seems that racial profiling had nothing do with the situation, and it was all about past experience.

As for Ahmed, I just hope the truth comes out sooner than later. According to Western Journalism, “[Judge Andrew] Napolitano said that if Mohamed’s parents knew that it was a hoax and went along with it, there is a potential fraud case because of the thousands of dollars that have been donated to Mohamed’s scholarship fund and a legal fund for the boy.”

I know it’s not hard to imagine that liberals went all bat crap crazy without knowing all the facts, but with it being just days after the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I’m ashamed to say that some here in American have apparently “forgotten.” We’re supposed to “never forget” that Islamists attacked us on our soil, but just days after the anniversary, a Muslim kid brings a device into school that he knows looks like a bomb and the left wants to offer themselves up as a sacrificial meat shield.

What is this world coming to? I hope they crucify (metaphorically, not literally) every last person who stood up for this liar when the whole truth comes out.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It does look like a briefcase bomb from an 1980s action flick.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Bottom line: the school district/cops over-reacted and behaved like morons. Accept it, move on, and stop trying to crucify a kid who IN FACT did not harm anyone.

Cripes - I hate Islam, and even I am offended by what happened to this kid. I guess I hate dumb people even more than muslims!

 

[julius]

Interesting video. Not saying it's definitive, but it sure seems a little fishy. Doesn't mean that he wasn't mistreated, but it seems to smell of that kid who was in the balloon a few years ago.

(sorry if this was posted already)

[donkiez]

I agree that the story sounds a little fishy now. Even if this is though the family just took advantage of predictable behavior, based in islamicphobia that has been surrounding his family in that area since they moved there. The kid was handcuffed and paraded around, when it was obvious that no one in that room believed it was really a bomb at that point. So who is more wrong in this situation?

That is very true. Whats interesting is which negative behavior (the potential fraud vs how they treated him) will be made into a political point.

I somehow suspect the fraud will over shadow the behavior the cops/school presented.

 

[donkiez]

Fraud how though? All he did was let everyones imagination run away from themselves.

You might be able to change the headline to "muslim boy tricks school and police into discriminating against him." But thats about it

I see a problem with that though. If he brought it to school with the intention of causing a problem, and showed it to teachers until he finally found one that thought he was trying to cause a bomb scare, that's something that he SHOULD be suspended for. He also shouldn't be receiving the attention that he's been getting. He didn't invent anything. That's pretty much proven at this point.

 

[donkiez]

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth also and definitely takes away from the poor Muslim boy who just wants to learn story. That is an accept passive protest method and effective way too high light your every day situation. I don't view it as much different from gun owners open carrying in front of schools and in toy aisles because they can, or gay people ordering cakes from christian bakeries to see if they will be served. He didn't indicate in any way, shape or form that it was a bomb, in fact he insisted it was a clock. "Invented" is a pretty loose word also, especially when spoke by a 14 year old, I wouldn't dwell on that point to much.

Fraud in the sense of "making" a clock, probably out of an already existing working clock.

I'm not saying what he did was horrible, it was just what you'd expect from a 14 year old (not thinking things through to fruition).

What if his dad put him up to it though?

I doubt we'd ever find out though. I'm hoping the whole thing just dies off. Let the kid have his moment in the spotlight and that will be it.

Actually, if this all was a con, I will be upset if he's able to sue the school. That's taking money away from the school and other kids.
