Kidicious thinks college rapists deserve a medal and a parade in their honor, just sayin.

I guess there's no reason for you to start telling the truth at this point

[giblets]

I have always told the truth... therefore I can't "start"

[Kidlicious]

I'll leave you to it then

It is worth noting Ahmed didn't build a clock. He took the plastic case off of an old clock, put the guts in a new case, and then claimed to have built a clock.

We did that in cub scouts when I was 8 years old only we actually made a wooden case and had to stain it before putting in the premade electronic clock guts. This kid was doing the same but he is 14. Not exactly a future engineering genius.

That said, Texans are still stupid.

Ahmed is a Texan! You racist!

It is very interesting that so many people can excuse child abuse and false imprisonment because it was cops doing the deed, or because they secretly believe that the kid was really guilty of having "an agenda." The fact of the matter is that these cops were acting outside the law, and the school administrators paid to protect school children against child abuse were, instead, abetting it. Those are simple facts. Caps can't cuff people or take them into custody without probable case, which everyone admits was lacking in this case.

As far as robotics kids taking mechanical stuff to school, this happens all the time. I help mentor a high school robotics team. I'd excuse Elok of his misrepresentations because of his ignorance, but he still gets gigged for attempting to turn third-person anecdotes ("I was told this") into evidence. Heresay isn't evidence for reasons that must be pretty clear by now.

This isn't a complicated case, with lots of unknowns. The police officials have admitted that they had no legally-justifiable excuse for the cops' actions, and everyone knows they are either going to settle or get hammered. I find it curious, though, that some people here seem to be so desperate to excuse the authorities almost reflexively, and are willing to smear the kid because they recognize that they have no reason beyond undue deference to defend the authorities.

There's two ways to make something that looks like a fake bomb. The first is a cannonballs with a fuse sticking out of it and the second is a metal briefcase with wires sticking out of it and a LCD display, you idiot.

Okay, I just went over every post I made in this thread. When the hell did this happen?

Ah, post 169. The hearsay in question was that administrators are frequently incompetent teachers who got promoted to get them away from teaching. Well, I've also met a fair number of incompetent administrators, both as a student and as a sub. Does that count?

[Kidlicious]

Elok actually works in a school, and I did for a few years.

I read that for one to make a bomb, there is a simple acronym to remember : PIES
this child had all but one ingredient. He had the Power, Initiator, and the Switch, all that he was missing to make a Explosive device was the explosive.

Obviously, our school policies are different here in America after 9/11, Columbine, and Sandy Hook. Children are seen as suspicious terrorists of evil intent for playing with simple pencils, here.


Just sharing one story to show the extremes our schools have been forced to react regarding seemingly senseless matters.

Through the years, there have been many issues of schools being evacuated due to bomb scares too, even here in my own locale. The only reason this particular case is getting any attention is because HIS OWN family is making it to be a Muslim issue! No agenda?

This school was not evacuated.
