RE: FAMILY OF MUSLIM TEEN ARRESTED FOR HOMEMADE CLOCK FILES SUIT
Quote:"For the safety of my family, I have to go back to Qatar, because right now it's not very safe for my family or for anyone who's a minority,' Ahmed said during Monday's news conference.
While in Texas, Ahmed said, he has to wear a hat, sunglasses and a hoodie.
'I can't walk out of the house without being covered up because I might get shot because that happens here,' he said. 'I really love the States. It's my home. But I couldn't stay. I get death threats.'

The school should be in the clear.
Teachers are taught to report anything suspicious. They are not expected to be experts on explosives. Better safe than sorry.
Once the police were brought in, things might have gone too far. But the school did the right thing, and if they wind up on the losing end of this, it sets a really bad precedent. Someday, someone could bring an explosive to school, but a teacher will be silent because they didn't want to be seen as bigoted, and then BOOM.

San Bernardino. Plenty of people saw weird **** going on but didn't report it for this very reason.
And actually lol'ed at this "dad". He really has an inflated opinion of himself and whatever "importance" he and his busted-ass clock kid supposedly have. Nobody's gonna waste so much as a single shot on this clod.

Well this story has reached its end. The judge dismissed the suit saying the plaintiff had failed to produce evidence that Clock Boy was treated differently because he was Muslim.
I think it is best to say that the clock just ran out on his (prolonged) 15 minutes.

...and it just got thrown out.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/16664/judg...s-barrett#
Quote:The saga of "Clock Boy" Ahmed Mohamed added another chapter on Thursday when a federal judge threw out the boy's discrimination lawsuit against the City of Irving, Texas, saying the plaintiff "does not allege any facts from which this court can reasonably infer that any [Irving Independent School District] employee intentionally discriminated against Ahmed Mohamed based on his race or religion."

A Federal court in Texas. Says it all. If it had been in San Francisco it would have been a different story. Us Texans like to pick on Muslims. NOT

Nah, pops will milk it for something, an appearance on MSNBC or CNN to gnash and wail at the oppressive justice system we have here, as a follow up to the story at least.

So they weren't smart enough to shop for the right judge, I guess.
Good.

This didn't age well. At least you were somewhat right, he indeed didn't get $15 million.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/irving/2...-dismissed
Quote:A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Irving ISD, the city of Irving and several others filed by the father of a teen who was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school that was mistaken for a bomb.
The federal lawsuit alleged Ahmed Mohamed's civil rights were violated in September 2015 when Irving police officers took him into custody at MacArthur High School and charged him with making a "hoax bomb." The then 14-year-old was also suspended from school for three days.
The charge against Mohamed was later dropped.
Quote:The suit filed by Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed on behalf of his son, had asked for unspecified damages. The suit had been amended twice since it was initially filed in August 2016.
U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay on Tuesday ordered that the suit against the defendants be "dismissed with prejudice" and that "all relief requested by plaintiff is denied."
Lawyers for Ahmed Mohamed could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
