What do we think would happen if he tried to do either of the following?
1. Bring that onto an airliner, especially if he tried to carry it on. 2. Bring it into or near the White House or the Capitol building while on a tour. |

I thought the same thing, it was a weird way to decide to store/contain the components. Then I heard about his father and that situation, and I can see why people think it is an elaborate publicity stunt.
But then I saw that it was much smaller than it looked. And then I read about the way the school/police handled the matter, and there is no doubt that they overreacted badly and probably violated some of his rights. If it was a publicity stunt, it worked, but it only worked bc the school/police mishandled it and took the extreme route instead of reasonably trying to figure out what was actually happening. And the people saying it is a set up for an assassination attempt.....

He didn't "make" a clock. He took a commercially manufactured clock out of its case and put it in a new case. Big deal. When I was 11, I was building stuff out of chips, transistors, and other discrete components. Nobody proclaimed me a genius or invited me to NASA. This mess has went from idiots thinking his clock was a bomb to idiots thinking his clock is a hand soldered expression of genius. Hell, when I was a kid in the 60s/70s, we'd be making real bomb looking bombs out of paper mache', right there in class and nobody gave a hoot. Chris |

He didn't build that PCB. That comes out of a commercial product- probably an electronic clock. My fucking cousin was 8 years old when he started pulling apart commercial electronics and putting them into different cases. The kid said, himself, in a news interview that he bought the clock from Target for five or ten dollars, and repackaged it in the case. In the same breath he also kept calling it his "invention" and stuff like that. I can see how the admin would lose patience with the kid. Maybe he has some form of autism, I dunno.

Quote HistoryQuoted: There are three possible scenarios here: 1. The kid "built" a clock. Now, granted it isn't Penn State EE lab quality, so we'll have to assume he isn't the Genius that everyone seems to think he is. Maybe he's just an average kid that likes to tinker with shit. If that is the case, the school owes him an apology and needs to undo the suspension. He didn't threaten anyone as if it were a bomb. He didn't make it look like a bomb. He even showed it to one of his teachers. 2. The kid or his dad is trolling. They put it together and tried to get a reaction. They got the reaction they were looking for. The school still owes him an apology. He didn't threaten anyone as if it were a bomb. He didn't make it look like a bomb. He even showed it to one of his teachers. 3. They are trying to desensitize teachers to things that beep. Now the terrorists can get that dramatic Hollywood bomb effect that can only be achieved if the bomb is able to beep as the timer ticks down to zero. The school does not owe him an apology and they should ban things that beep to keep the children safe. Also, what kind of Wiley E. Coyote fever dream are you living out that you think bombs beep have timers like in the movies? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: From what I've heard he just bought a clock, took it apart, then put it back together in a briefcase. Don't know if its true, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was. That's what it looks like. (V battery backup lead hanging loose, 120V step down transformer flopping around, etc. He didn't "build" shit. He took a functioning clock and ripped the guts out and reinstalled them in a different enclosure, in the process making them look like a hack job "bomb" timer like you'd see on an old MacGyver episode. Whether that was his intention is debatable, but if there was a foolproof way to read minds, I'd bet good money he wanted it to look "bomb-ish". |

It also got me interested and taking electronics in high school. And made me a fair amount of money fixing tvs and VCRs. There was no harm done, except to the kids permanent record.

Your mind is so full of biases and stereotypes it's crazy. I haven't said any of those things. You are assuming a ton of things. I am behind the kid because he did nothing wrong, and the school and government over reacted. You may be right about his intentions, you may be completely wrong. It isn't really relevant because it doesn't make the first two things I said untrue. As for your last sentence, I don't base what I believe on whether or not he or someone else believes in something. Some of you would stop breathing if Obama came out with a statement encouraging all Americans to keep breathing. Quote HistoryQuoted:

There are SJW's all over GD these days. People like you just dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as a SJW. It is easier than rationally defending your argument. Yes, i dismiss people who automatically assume i feel the way i do is because of "xenophobic" whiteness. I also dismiss people who go out their way to defend the actions of a dumb ass because it makes them feel better. I also dismiss people who's only useful addition to a discussion is to be a grammar nazi. I also dismiss people who tell me i have to embrace and support all things lgbtwtfbbq because if i dont I'm a bigot. I also dismiss people who purposely get into religious threads and troll them. The list goes on and on. But by all means, be happy that you are supporting this kid, i hope this really all was just some stupid ass mistake. Be happy that you are on the same side as FBHO, because we know he has been right every other time he gets behind a cause. Your mind is so full of biases and stereotypes it's crazy.

Some of you would stop breathing if Obama came out with a statement encouraging all Americans to keep breathing. My first 3 lines are from this thread or the other one on this topic. the last 2 are just general and none the five except #2 are necessarily you. The young adult did nothing wrong in a sane world, last i checked that is not where we live. The young adult choose to be an ass which is why recourse officer, then we wouldn't answer questions so the police got involved. Once everything got worked out down at the station all charges were dropped. None of that would have needed if he didn't bring is piece of crap "invention" to school, or maybe, just maybe leave it in his locker once he finished showing it to his I'm pretty sure unimpressed STEM teacher. When all this started i was on his side, then i saw a picture of the "invention" and saw the interview with his shyster lawyer and parents. For what its worth, if FBHO ever has to tell Americans to keep breating, we are so far lost i might just stop breathing to stop my frustration.

"teen" is an actual word that means something... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
Why use quotes around the word teen? Are you saying he's older or younger? For some people teen means child, for others it means young adult. In most of the world a 14 year old is an adult. "teen" is an actual word that means something... Yes it means someone between the ages of 13 and 19. The meaning beyond that varies. |

Are we doing this again? The kid said in the interview that he bought the BOX at Target for five or ten dollars. Also, if he had, would that be against the law? If not, why is it relevant? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
The kid said, himself, in a news interview that he bought the clock from Target for five or ten dollars, and repackaged it in the case. In the same breath he also kept calling it his "invention" and stuff like that. I can see how the admin would lose patience with the kid. Maybe he has some form of autism, I dunno. But, his statements in media interviews were odd, and he said some weird, conflicting stuff. Are we doing this again? The kid said in the interview that he bought the BOX at Target for five or ten dollars. Also, if he had, would that be against the law? If not, why is it relevant? He speaks to his character, he is supposed to be a genius inventor. Why then transfer the guts from a store bought clock to a pencil box? |

If you were about to board a plane, and you saw someone fiddling with that in the gate area before boarding, you would think nothing of it and board the plane without a second thought? Quote HistoryQuoted:

What do we think would happen if he tried to do either of the following? 1. Bring that onto an airliner, especially if he tried to carry it on. 2. Bring it into or near the White House or the Capitol building while on a tour. Don't be interjecting logic into this discussion. Logic? That the government has over steps its bounds and succeeded at making America paranoid? You can't bring a non-power-upable laptop or a jug of water on a plane either. Or a cigar punch that looks like a bullet. You can bring an avocado, but not guacamole. Any of that shit makes us safer or are we just goose stepping in time with what the masters say? If you were about to board a plane, and you saw someone fiddling with that in the gate area before boarding, you would think nothing of it and board the plane without a second thought? Nope. Went through the scanners - zero fucks given. I've taken apart my lap top in the waiting area before because I was retarded and put an SD card in the CDROM slot. I guess you should have reported me because you saw circuit boards and wires. |

Also if this was the case, the school's reaction was exactly what they shouldn't have done. Had it been me, I would have held it till the end of day for disturbing the class for beeping. NO ONE thought this was a bomb. They did they are the most irresponsible people on earth for not evacuating the school. |

From what I've heard he just bought a clock, took it apart, then put it back together in a briefcase. Don't know if its true, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was. Pencil case, but yes, that's basically what he did. Threw it together in 20 minutes, took it to his Engineering teacher hoping to impress him. He's 14. Not sure what you'd expect, but he's not going to be doing high level EE work at his age. High school kids these days are doing DNA sequencing in class with a table top kit. Kid's more autistic than "genius". |

Quoted: Do you really expect a 14yo to build a clock from scratch? Order some parts from DigiKey, breadboard everything, solder it all together, program the controller, and package it up in a fancy plastic box? Yes I do - if he has any genuine interest in electrical engineering at all. Everyone has to start somewhere. Except his "work" is bush league shit and he calls himself an "inventor." I probably did comparable stuff in 4th or 5th grade. I have serious doubts he can even use a soldering iron. |

To libs; "he did nothing wrong" dismisses the racial and religious hate they have should it have been anyone of the wrong color or religion...and that is the point. His skin is dark and he is a Muslim so he gets the free pass...libs need to come clean with this fact as this fact is the only bases for their racially/religious based "free pass". Those libs who say it is for any other reason are full of bullshit and we know it.
If a pimply faced white "teen" who happens to come from a Christian family shows up at school or an airport with something he made on purpose to look like a bomb, then these same "anti-racists" would be saying he is an idiot or "their rules" or "glad they caught him before it was real" and all that BS. "Anti-racists" filter everything through race (white hate) and or in this case religion (Anti-Christian hate) as well as we've seen witness to in prior posts. Its time to start calling these "anti-racists" out...they are anti-white chauvinists and nothing more. Hate-racists in the purist sense. Because that is their filter medium. Whites (through liberal media race-based guilt) are supposed to somehow feel guilty as if it is their culture or society that brought on this poor little fake bomb making idiots arrest (that just happened to look like a clock). Gimme a fucking break. But these same "anti-racists" would be silent as crickets or even cheer on his arrest if he were the wrong race or religion. Something we all know, but they are too cowardly to admit.  Kind of like the "teen" last week that was swinging a 3ft sword at cops at a mall...they only shot him because he was 1/2 black . Its time to start calling these liberal "anti-racists" out for what they are...they are anti-white chauvinists and nothing more. Self-righteous hate-racists in the purist sense. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryI was able to repair my own Discman at 14 by cannibalizing another one for its laser. Probably the same amount of effort involved, but I didn't go around bragging that I had invented a Discman, though.
