Muslim Student Tests the System

[carlb]

I have no doubt this was a test to probe our response:

At a press conference this morning, Irving Police Chief Larry Boyd said charges won't be filed against Ahmed Mohamed, the MacArthur High School freshman arrested Monday after bringing what school officials and police described as a "hoax bomb" on campus.

Boyd said the device -- confiscated by an English teacher despite the teen's insistence that it was a clock -- was "certainly suspicious in nature.

"The student showed the device to a teacher, who was concerned that it was possibly the infrastructure for a bomb," Boyd said.

School officers questioned Ahmed about the device and why he'd brought it to school. Boyd said Ahmed was then handcuffed "for his safety and for the safety of the officers" and taken to a juvenile detention center. He was later released to his parents, Boyd said.

"The follow-up investigation revealed the device apparently was a homemade experiment, and there's no evidence to support the perception he intended to create alarm," Boyd said.

Don't try this unless you are a muslim.

Yep. It happens with the white kids making a gun from a pop tart. But because he's Muslim, we have to grant him special Muslim rights. Our own Muslim loving Resident immediately sided with him and invited him to the White House. This userper never misses an opportunity to destroy our culture.

Just learned his father is a Muslim ACTIVIST. He'sworking to establish a SHARIA COURT in Irvine, Tx.

Like iI said, they are testing the system to get this reaction. Now Muslims everywhere will play the victim!

As his second term winds down he is becoming more brazen concerning anything Islamic.

Yes, he is only concerned with blacks and muslims.  Whites have a target on their backs.

Here's the clock bomb the little darling brought to school. He brought a briefcase to school. When it started ticking, the teacher made him open it. When he did, THIS is what they saw:



Although his family currently lives in Irving Texas, They used to live in NYC.

His father is a Muslim ACTIVIST who gives Muslims, blacks and foreigners a bad name.

And the dad does understand the importance of keeping the media happy ... with bribes:

It really is this easy to buy positive spin, isn't it?

Yep. looks like a bomb to me, so I asked Toy what she thought it looked like, since she hadn't seen it yet, and she said "Bomb?".

[carlb]

I have NO DOUBT his muslim activist father helped him with this and orchestrated this whole thing to get exactly the reaction it got.  This could be a crime if the politically correct left hadn't gotten in the way.

[supsalemgr]

I am sure the loons on the left who applaud school administrators who outlaw confederate flag tee shirts are outraged by these administrators who saw a real potential threat to student safety.

I can't believe nobody has brought up this story yet.  So I'll do it.

A Muslim student in Texas was arrested for bringing to school
what the teachers thought was a bomb, but was just a homemade digital clock.

My comments:

The media is using this story to try to whip up hysteria about "right-wing anti-Muslim hysteria"
when it's their own LEFTIST-trained teacher and LEFTIST-trained school administrator
who went berserk!

This is what happens when you populate the schools' faculty and staff
with people who are illiterate in technology!

From Artvoice:


I found the highest resolution photograph of the clock I could. Instantly, I was disappointed. Somewhere in all of this – there has indeed been a hoax. Ahmed Mohamed didn't invent his own alarm clock. He didn't even build a clock. Now, before I go on and get accused of attacking a 14 year old kid who's already been through enough, let me explain my purpose. I don't want to just dissect the clock. I want to dissect our reaction as a society to the situation. Part of that is the knee-jerk responses we're all so quick to make without facts. So, before you scroll down and leave me angry comments, please continue to the end (or not – prove my point, and miss the point, entirely!)

For starters, one glance at the printed circuit board in the photo, and I knew we were looking at mid-to-late 1970s vintage electronics. Surely you've seen a modern circuit board, with metallic traces leading all over to the various components like an electronic spider's web. You'll notice right away the highly accurate spacing, straightness of the lines, consistency of the patterns. That's because we design things on computers nowadays, and computers assist in routing these lines. Take a look at the board in Ahmed's clock. It almost looks hand-drawn, right? That's because it probably was. Computer aided design was in its infancy in the 70s. This is how simple, low cost items (like an alarm clock) were designed. Today, even a budding beginner is going to get some computer aided assistance – in fact they'll probably start there, learning by simulating designs before building them. You can even simulate or lay out a board with free apps on your phone or tablet. A modern hobbyist usually wouldn't be bothered with the outdated design techniques. There's also silk screening on the board. An "M" logo, "C-94" (probably, a part number – C might even stand for "clock"), and what looks like an American flag. More about that in a minute. Point for now being, a hobbyist wouldn't silk screen logos and part numbers on their home made creation. It's pretty safe to say already we're looking at '70s tech, mass produced in a factory.

So I turned to eBay, searching for vintage alarm clocks. It only took a minute to locate Ahmed's clock. See this eBay listing, up at the time of this writing. Amhed's clock was invented, and built, by Micronta, a Radio Shack subsidary. Catalog number 63 756.

The shape and design is a dead give away. The large screen. The buttons on the front laid out horizontally would have been on a separate board – a large snooze button, four control buttons, and two switches to turn the alarm on and off, and choose two brightness levels. A second board inside would have contained the actual "brains" of the unit. The clock features a 9v battery back-up, and a switch on the rear allows the owner to choose between 12 and 24 hour time. (Features like a battery back-up, and a 24 hour time selection seems awful superfluous for a hobby project, don't you think?) Oh, and about that "M" logo on the circuit board mentioned above? Micronta.

So little Ahmed is a fraud?

[kroz]

Not only is Ahmed a fraud, but his dad is a muslim activist.

This whole thing was a set up.  They got the result they wanted and little Ahmed is being offered all kinds of rewards from the Left wing zealots.  He will have a free ride to college and much more!

Walks, would you merge this into Redbeards thread?
Thanks.
