Richard Dawkins claims "clock" inventing kid is frauding

[Mparserz]

How do libtards handle this? I do agree with him though. Kid knew his "invention" was gonna get attention. Hopefully karma pays the kid a visit.

The kid is 14 years old. Do people seriously think he's too young to be trolling?

Who the phuck want to get arrested in texas for making a fake bomb if they're muslim? Are you retarded?

Kids are retarded. So even if it's unlikely in this example, it's not an unfeasible thought.

[crupiea]

I had a job when I was 14 year old. Dad told me one day to go out and get a job and dont come back until you have one and he meant it. I was old enough to pull pranks on people and certainly knew that if I did something stupid then i would get punished for it.

You would think that a smart kid like this, who is muslim, would understand there might be some potential problems with taking this thing to school.

I mean if he were a little kid like 7 or something and just took something from his dads workshop i could understand him playing stupid but at 14 its just asking a bit too much.

he knew what he was doing and he knew what it looked like.

Order 66 on Rich.

[ppself]

For the first time ever. I agree with Dawkins.

This kid didn't invent anything. It has been proven, that he took an already existing clock. Took it apart. And put it back together again, inside of a little case. Not invent.

So far.

This kid has a free trip to the white house. And MS sent him thousands of dollars worth free swag.

[Sapporo]

Believe his mom and dad are both in politics, might be more to it than just the clock. His mom has this on her twitter "8th generation Texan devoted to creating positive social change."

Also why did he get arrested but they didn't close down the school to get the bomb squad in?

[pieceofdebri79]

Smart kid if so.

[PrivilegeCheker]

OP...why were you at Huffington Post?
Is there something you want to tell us?
It's ok you're among friends, we won't judge

You're falsely assuming Muslims are capable of thought. By the same token, this is why Dawkins' theory is impossible.

[MA5Bergey]

"It's fine to disassemble & reassemble a clock. http://blogs.artvoice.com/techvoice/...and-ourselves/ … But don't claim it's your INVENTION."

He's right. The kid shouldn't have been arrested (if anything, they were right to be cautious but stupidity isn't a crime like building a bomb is) but the whole thing is also being a bit overblown.

He did know it resembled a bomb.

In an interview he did, recording himself, he said he wrapped wire around the part that locks so people "wouldn't think it's a threat"

He knew his "clock" looked like a bomb.

And for that reason alone is why he should have been arrested and charged. He knew what he was doing. The thing even beeped in class which was how it was discovered.

It was a prank bro. Chilll.

[brodiddly]

I half expect him to release a YouTube video of the incident calling it the 'bomb/clock prank'.

Him repeating 'it's a clock' sounds so much like the ****s in those prank videos yelling 'it's a prank' when things get out of hand

[anonymous]

Seems like the kids parents are professional victims so I'd imagine he was put up to this in order to fuel the Muslim victim complex they seem so fcking obsessed with creating

[GaloisTheory]

****ing lol at retards that actually believe a high schooler is incapable of doing this on purpose.

I'll admit that he probably didn't imagine it going this far, but he definitely was searching for a reaction. His friends probably egged him on too because it'd be funny. They were probably like "dude if you get in trouble just be like "is it because I'm Muslim!? hahaha"

No one else would have brought a ****ing bomb clock to school for no reason, and then not put it completely away after the one teacher already told him it looked bad. The kid was being a little chithead, like every other high school freshman; however, bringing a clock that looks exactly like a bomb to be lulzy is over the top. We've all done stupid things, but this kid is a moron. But apparently he's still smarter than 90% of these liberal *******s vomiting some Islamophobic narrative.

Had he not been Muslim, it would have been 100% fine had he been charged for having a hoax bomb.

It's not hard to open up the pencil box and realize that there aren't any explosives in it. He was charged with bringing a "hoax bomb" to school.

[FIREnICE]

don't think he could be that much of a mastermind, but he certainly did not invent anything. he just wanted to fool the class and teacher into thinking he was a genius inventor but it backfired. he never thought it'd lead to this however.

[rtljmc17]

smart enough to "Build/Invent" a clock. Smart enough to realise it looks like a suspicious device.
Its always liberals that make it about race.

it looked like a bomb.

ye it's especially hilarious when most muslim-americans are probably better educated than you

This.

When I was in high school, I purchased a keystroker from a website that sold all manners of cheeky things. Essentially, when you plugged it into the USB port of a computer it would open up a NotePad file and begin typing silly things. I tossed it into my math teacher's computer and sat back as she began to freak out about how the computer was typing without her having to press the keys.

She went on and on about it all class, and then finally the tech guy came in to check the computer. When he did, he found the USB and one of the girls in class told the teacher I'd put it in the computer (she'd seen me do it). Now, I was expecting that we'd all laugh it off, but I was quickly escorted into the school's HEADQUARTERS. Not even just the principle's office.

And I was interrogated by school officials, who confiscated the little USB and told me that they believed I was stealing final exam answers. They almost expelled me, and if it weren't for my wrestling coach who attested for my character, I probably would have been kicked out. All over something that was just a little prank. I may not have expected the reaction that I got, but yes, I went in looking to create some sort of ruckus.



Anyhow, the point of the story is to illustrate that yes, middle/high schoolers are perfectly capable of pulling dumb pranks like the one that the kid pulled. He was aware of what he was doing, but he's been hamming it up because he knows that society is on his side and that he won't be painted as the one who is wrong.

[jujuB]

props to him, if he really did do this for attention.

He's gotten so much from all this- free stuff, internships, scholarships.

i'd do the same thing if i were 14 knowing i could get all that. lolz

Fukkin-A.....

Mark Cuban talks to kid on phone about what happened
Ahmeds sister can be heard behind him telling him what to say
Cuban talked to school staff about what happened
Kid literally went from class to class showing each teacher the clock

Smells like bullchit. Smells like Muslim politician of a father put him up to this. And Obama took the bait

Libbies, do you understand why we think you're all a bunch of fukking retards?

[dhawkeye1980]

It wasnt him it was his father and the leader of CAIR a muslim organization linked to funding terrorists. The handcuffing pic was fabricated by the kids father

[boxofmonsters]

Y'all are retarded if you buy into the idea that he did this on purpose to try and get attention. The fact that the clock is unimpressive or that he calls it an "invention" (which it clearly is not) does nothing to further the case that he was intentionally trying to build something that looked like a bomb. If you take 2 seconds to look at the interview with him you'd see his room littered with random pulled apart circuit boards and crap. He's no boy genius, but he's not a troll either. He's just a 14 year old kid who was trying to impress his teachers with something he made.
