Tortorella's Rant Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 3 hours ago, Mr.DirtyDangles said: Anyone who thought this was a bomb should be psychologically evaluated. Sorry but this was Islamophobia in full effect. It is not surprising considering the country and level of education and lack of rationality that this occurred. It would take a full blown retard 2 seconds to realize it was not a bomb. Yeah the family made a big deal but i sure as hell would have too. Perhaps the kid is an idiot and forgot the explosives at home. He's not that bright. He keeps calling this an invention. He didn't invent sh*t. And most of these suicide bombers are idiots. For example, the Time Square bomber wanna-be filled his car will all sorts of random explosives (didn't actually make a bomb) and then tried to ignite the poorly made fuse that wouldn't have worked anyway and got caught in the process. (enjoy the life sentence, loser). What if this was actually a bomb, or meant to be, but his teacher wasn't entirely sure thus didn't raise alarm because people might call him racist or something profoundly stupid like that. Anyway, these types of bombs are woefully ineffective. The cat is out of the bag. If you want to kill a lot of people you use a machine gun..

I know right... there's a video where it takes all of 20 seconds for a guy to disassemble an alarm clock, take out the contents, put it in a pencil case and voila... done... People calling this kid an inventor LOL. He clearly was either A: Manipulated by his dad to make it look like a bomb or B: Made it look like a bomb from his own doing... The REAL racists here are Ahmed and his family. They used classic race bait to make a big deal out of it, and are now suing for 15 million dollars even after everything they've received for it... 'Yeah. Let's put a clock with a big red countdown timer in a briefcase. Bombs have totally never been assembled like this before brah' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1csa-IyJG-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually all valid points Tort's especially the last 2 parts. But what many fail to realize is Ahmed was walking around with this all all day showing it to people then all of a sudden....

Still defending this kid and his family? Granted, I almost feel sorry for the kid - he's just likely a pawn in his father's hand, but then after seeing all the whiny outrage and all the rewards he was given for his "creativity" it's hard to be sympathetic to him either.

Some right wing blogger wrote some bull$&!# that got picked up by Breitbart? Let me get this straight - you're saying he had an item with him all day, showed it to anyone that would look, had the alarm go off during class, and yet somehow got arrested for having a BOMB?! Ming boggling doesn't even begin to describe it. What does an Asian kid with a firearm have to do with this? In what non-TV world does a bomb look like THAT?! You're giving Stretch Armstrong a run for his money. Ahmed is a kid, I don't hold this against him. Hopefully it doesn't &^@# him up as he grows up. Well... the teachers have said he's always been a trouble maker. Just google around and you'll find multiple reports of him going out of his way to be difficult. Hoax or not, being disruptive in class warrants being sent to the principal's office and perhaps suspension, regardless of cultural identity. Also, in what bizarro world is what Ahmed made even a clock? Or even homemade? The most important criteria of a clock, it's got to be easily visible. Locked in a briefcase.... right, that's very useful. Not battery powered and have to be plugged in but only when the case is open? For a "genius", he's certainly lacking in the common sense department. I've taken some electronic classes back in the day.... and when I think of something homemade, I think of something like... a breadboardhttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Breadboard_complex.jpg/1024px-Breadboard_complex.jpg Not like some circuit board that looked obviously manufactured. His father is publicity hound, the sister previously attempted a similar stunt.... and now the family finally got the publicity it seek.... now they're out to capitalize on it. Did you know, the father has tried to run for President of Sudan, wanted to be legally allowed to exercise Sharia law in the community, and even went along with that crazy Christian guy who went in a Koran burning stunt? Heck, it won't be long before the family will be starring on their own show "Keeping up with the Mohameds". Yet you want to frame this is an "Islamophobia" issue?

DonLever Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 From the CBC: Attorneys for a 14-year-old Muslim boy arrested after the homemade clock he took to his Dallas-area school was mistaken for a possible bomb said Monday he was publicly mistreated and deserves $15 million US. A law firm representing Ahmed Mohamed sent letters Monday demanding $10 million from the city of Irving and $5 million from the Irving Independent School District. The letters also threaten lawsuits and seek written apologies. Ahmed Mohamed leaves Texas school after clock arrest Ahmed took his clock to school in September, and an educator thought it could be a bomb. Ahmed was arrested but never charged. He was suspended from school. "What has happened to this family is inexcusable," Kelly Hollingsworth, an attorney for Ahmed and his family, said in an email. "As indicated in the letters, the long term effects on Ahmed are incalculable." Meribeth Sloan, a spokeswoman for Irving said the city is reviewing its letter and has no comment. The district didn't immediately return a message Monday. The family accepted a foundation's offer to pay for Ahmed's education in Qatar and moved to the Persian Gulf country. He had visited Qatar during a whirlwind several weeks following the incident that even included a stop at the White House. Hollingsworth said Ahmed and his younger siblings have found schools in Qatar, but his older sisters, who are 17 and 18, have not. "Ahmed is very gratified by all of the support that he has received, but just like his siblings and his parents, he misses Texas. It is his home," Hollingsworth said.

Heck, it won't be long before the family will be starring on their own show "Keeping up with the Mohameds". Yet you want to frame this is an "Islamophobia" issue? Do you have sources for this? From what I read, teachers said he's always been a tech geek who brought gizmos to school. Do you see me taking issue with a kid being sent to the principal's office? I don't think anyone is making his trip to the principal's office into an issue. Well, everyone is calling it a clock. You can call it whatever you want. Call it a spaceship for all I care. It's not a bomb, it doesn't look like a bomb, and it wasn't used to cause panic like a hoax bomb. For someone trying to destroy the racial narrative, you're focusing on some pretty irrelevant aspects of the story. He's not a genius!? Send him to Guantanamo!!! Nice, you're familiar with home made electronics. Now familiarize yourself with home made IEDs. Sister attempted a similar stunt? Father a publicity hound? Sharia law? Again, source for any of that? I'll just copy this part from Wiki: Quote Hoax allegations and conspiracy theories[edit] The Dallas Morning News referred to some comments that emerged in the aftermath of the incident as conspiracy theories, reporting that most of them "cited no evidence, contradicted each other, or clashed with known facts".[62] Some conservative commentators sought to cast suspicion on Mohamed's family and Muslim groups that supported Mohamed after his detainment, positing that Mohamed planned to provoke his arrest to embarrass police and speculating the incident was a plot orchestrated by Islamist activists.[62] In a series of posts in Twitter, Richard Dawkins suggested that Mohamed and his family might have staged a hoax. Dawkins noted that the clock components were not a new invention and implied that this meant Mohamed's intention may have been to get arrested. After his opinion was criticized, Dawkins backtracked, conceding that the police were wrong to detain Mohamed and writing, "sorry if I go a bit over the top in my passion for truth."[63][64] Richard Francis of Slate described Dawkins's comments as "punching down" by targeting the victim of the situation. Francis also said that "this isn't the first time Dawkins has chosen the wrong end of a controversy", noting Dawkins's history of comments critical of Muslims.[65] After reviewing these theories, The Dallas Morning News wrote: "No theory that The News has reviewed cites any evidence that Ahmed, who routinely brought electronic creations to his middle school and said he wanted to impress high school teachers, planned to get handcuffed and hit the news" and reported that "a police 'investigation determined the student apparently did not intend to cause alarm bringing the device to school'."[62] Slate observed that at no point did officials exhibit any concern that the clock was dangerous.[65] Yeah... sounds like what you're doing.

Well, liberals can be pretty cowardly and dishonest Nothing says you're completely innocent like admitting on camera that it was a suspicious project and you attempted to hide that, tech experts acknowledging he literally stuffed wires and a clock in a briefcase, and then moving to Qatar because they're a shining beacon of equality and religious freedoms lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cat is out of the bag. If you want to kill a lot of people you use a machine gun.. No. You need some very motivated killers to shoot into an open crowd. That's not how today's organized terrorism works. Here is how it works. You recruit or forcibly kidnap recruits, and then: "Here, put on this vest, walk to the town square and find a seat. We'll take it from there". That... is how you're able to effectively keep the world in terror using fresh recruits. You just need those who know how to make explosives and those who are willing to die for a cause. None of this "shoot everyone" or "make a bomb" nonsense.
