[FONT=&quot]A district court judge in Texas has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed on his own behalf and on behalf of his 15-year-old son, Ahmed Mohamed. They had sued Fox News, Glenn Beck, and the mayor of Irving -- among others -- for defamation in September of 2016.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]A year earlier, Ahmed, then a 14-year-old freshman at an Irving, Texas, high school, was arrested, briefly detained by police, and suspended for three days after bringing to school a "cool clock" that looked like a briefcase bomb. Ahmed claimed to have "invented" the easily assembled clock, and that he had brought it to school to show it to his shop teacher.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The incident led many to question the Mohamed family's motives. Newly appointed District Court Judge Maricela Moore dismissed the lawsuit following a nearly three-hour hearing on Monday, according to [/FONT]the American Freedom Law Center[FONT=&quot]:[/FONT]

No monies for YOU!
 
I remember this story. The kid brought a device to school that looked like a time bomb, with jumbled wires hanging out of it. Then he sued when they told him imitation bombs aren't permitted on school grounds.

The. It turned out he didn't build anything.
He took an existing clock apart and just put it in a brief case without the casing.
 
The way I remember the story this family has been on the scam.

This has always been a D LIST story for me, so I have not been paying much attention.

It didn't look like a time bomb unless your impression of time bomb comes from freaking cartoons.

Please describe all of the professional experience that you have with explosives. After that could you please explain the difference in appearance of a timing mechanism of an explosive device and a clock that has been disassembled and installed into a case with an exposed circuit board and digital numbers.

Here is an actual trigger:

So the criteria, then, is "has circuit boards?"

Where's the explosive, or something that looks like an explosive?

His father is a known activist, and was looking for a way to make a splash and sue someone.

Teachers aren't explosive experts :roll: Clearly they were just showing an abundance of caution in this instance. Kids have been expelled for far less. Had he drawn a picture of a hand gun he likely would have received the same fate. And last I checked, drawings don't shoot people.

Can you find an example of a child being expelled for drawing a gun?

Don't bring up pop-tart kid: he was suspended for repeatedly disrupting class even after other disciplinary actions.

I cant, but as a parent of school aged kids, I received notice from the school that a zero tolerance policy included violent drawings or depictions. But don't take my work for it, tell your kid to draw a picture of a handgun and carry it around with him at school. Tell me how long it is before your kid is sitting at home for a few days.

So you agree, then, that zero tolerance policies are stupid and the school was overreacting.
 
Hopefully they can put this whole ****ing thing to rest finally. This was an embarrassment. It was an embarrassment watching the leftists fawning over clock boy in the first place because they have to prove what wonderfully tolerant people they were. It was embarrassing watching the president and other ****ing morons inviting him to the white house and showering him with tech gifts because he is OH so inventive and they are OH so tolerant of Muslims.

This whole ridiculous thing should have been a non-story. Jagoff son of a hactivist takes a working clock, puts it in a pencil case, gets mild response from teachers til his alarm went off (because apparently he is SUCH a ****ing genius he knew how to 'make' a clock but didnt know how to set the timer) and when the school finally gave the little **** the attention he was so desperately seeking, suddenly the typical leftists **** themselves and screamed racist! Islamophobe!!!! Aiiiiiiigh!!!!!

Id say the family should go back to the middle east where they are sooooo much more tolerant...but they already tried that.

Hopefully this will close this sad comic once and for all.

Yes, but I don't blame teachers who would discipline a child for bringing a replica of a time bomb into a school. You cant bring a replica of any weapon into a school. And that is reasonable.

I agree- they clearly over reacted.

It is also worth noting that if a person(s) launches enough attention getting stunts, they run the risk that somebody will eventually over react to a particular stunt. And that is exactly what happened between "Clock Boy", his father and the school.

Ahh, so you think there's a series of bomb stunts now?
 
I wonder how the TSA would react to that suitcase.

To the untrained eye, it looked like a bomb.
