Wait wait wait...this is the most unusual statement in the article: “He just wants to invent good things for mankind,” said Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, who immigrated from Sudan and occasionally returns there to run for president.
hahahaha. I'm assuming they meant to say "vote" but occasionally running for president of Sudan would be fantastic.
errrr this story is just bizarre and oozes with prejudice. i mean jesus christ the kid is a nerd who built a clock to show it off at school. i guess if he would've brought a model airplane tp the school probably would have assumed that it was a tactical drone of some sort. this really makes no sense at all. it would be one thing if it had some sort of actual components of a weapon, but it was in fact, just a clock. what did they charge him with??? i mean this is outrageous really... i guess any blunt object a student brings to school should be considered a wmd psh get real
This made BBC News, Washington Post, and The Verge And just look at that proud NASA shirt. Some freaking r****ds run our school and police dept.
