That kid who made the "clock" - Page 2 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Another point to consider: Why did he leave the country and move back home???

Wait, you mean his family weren't citizens?

(well, that's another topic for a non-fishing day.)

So some think the school over-reacted?
How would they have reacted had this "child" brought in an actual bomb and obliterated everything in a 200 yard radius?

Surely we would be just as understanding and be considerate of HIS reasons, RIGHT???

In the current social environment we now are forced to live in, we do not have the luxury of turning a blind eye towards each and every so-called "oppressed minority" just for fear of offending their rights to create mayhem and destruction.

Remember when yelling "Fire" in a crowded venue was considered illegal? Now we have progressed to dangerous pranks and stunts that can get you killed.

How about running into a bank or city hall with a plastic squirt gun that you "engineered" to look real, and see what happens?

I'm assuming they have a zero tolerance policy for bombs too.
What would've happened if they brought that clock on a plane ?

I wouldn't argue against his suspension but would argue against how he was treated during his "interegation".

Precisely, how was he treated?

don't want to turn this thread into a gun debate, but I'll leave you with this: Why is increased gun control called for after every mass shooting? Some of the proposals have been for a national registry of all gun owners. Sure, no politicians are crazy enough to just come out and advocate for this, but many anti groups have! Hows it that different than a national registry of all muslims?

The constituion.

Edit - I agree this isn't about guns but rather the crazy thought that we should single out 1 religion and register them (like Trump has stated).

Paul, the ONLY way you can show that his religion had anything to do with this, is to show that he would have been treated differently, if he wasn't Muslim. Do Mormon kids who bring in bomb look-alikes, not get in trouble?

You show us that non-Muslims don't get in trouble for bringing in things to school that look like weapons, and you have a case. But we all know you don't. All kinds of kids get in trouble for bringing in things that anyone could perceive as maybe being a weapon. But you had to play the bigot card, with zero evidence. Yawn.

As I said I didn't have a problem with the suspension as I agreed that the schools need to err on the side of caution. However, once he stated it was a clock it looks like they refused to believe him. It would be interesting to pull up one of those threads about previous school suspensions to see would complain about the suspensions and the "liberal" schools.

14 years old and questioned by police for an hour and a half, then handcuffed, and taken to a juvenile detention facility, fingerprinted and photo taken. Don't think his parents where notified until after that. Believe he was told that he was going to be "interrogated" when he asked to see his parents.

The latent racism in this thread is pretty interesting.

Wait, who's seeing "boogeymen everywhere?"

Besides, people here have some work to do if they want to make it to the Show.
