  2. Ya, the same people crying racism thought kicking kids out of school for chewing a pop tart into the shape of a gun was totally cool.

    People won’t be demanding an end to zero tolerance insanity but rather exceptions made based on the current Democrat party racial hierarchy.

  3. I think “better judged by 12 than carried by six” applies in this case. What if it *had* been a bomb? Like it or not, the name Mohamed sets off warning bells in a lot of peoples heads. The Palestinians (for just one example of the RoP) have a history of using children and the mentally impaired as bomb-carriers.

    Imagine the screams of outrage had it been a bomb and the teacher had *not* reported it.

      1. Why? It was an opaque box with a digital display on it, brought into a high-psychological-value area (school) by a Muslim. The teacher who reported it wasn’t a technician, and if it *had* been a bomb, she’d be getting praised right now for her reasonable caution.

        I just wonder how long it’ll be before someone refuses to investigate an obvious non-explosive (like a backpack maybe) and lots of people die in the resulting explosions…nah, that could never happen.

  4. While I would say the briefcase alarm clock doesn’t quite look like either an alarm clock or a bomb; the zero tolerance alarmist on schools definitely need to be stopped. I understand suspecting this was something else, but arresting the kid? Please examine the object again.

    I recall about a decade ago, another DFW kid was suspended from school when a security officer found a “club” visible through the windows of the kid’s car parked at school. The “club” was a miniature baseball bat given to the student baseball player by the team as a sort of trophy, but zero tolerance policy called it a weapon. Note, the “club” was considered a weapon, not the full size aluminum baseball bats in the trunk of the car, because those items were not visible.

  5. Oops put a longer comment in the latest outrage post. But I am little more sympathetic to the police and school did they overreact sure. the kid shouldn’t be suspended after all said and done.

    But it really looks like this kid essentially took apart a clock and puts it into another more suspicious box.
    This reminds me of this incident

    nearly the same except a airport it a school, and instead of a white girl arrested at gun point, a little Muslim boy handcuffed. It even got the person bluntly saying what it is but not elaborating any further with the girl when asked saying her device is “art” and his was a clock. Now i am even less sympathetic to the girl since she should have been a little more empathetic of how someone could react especially at an airport.
