    That might have meant something as you typed it into Google translate, but what came out was unintelligible.

    It takes an uneducated person to think that a opened up clock looks like a bomb.

    Where is the freaking explosive??? I mean, sorry but this makes teachers and principals look lost. Anybody who has any basic understanding of how things work would be able to look at that clock and say it's not a bomb.

    You just described the collected city officials, police department and Irving ISD administration. Biggest collection of ignorant dumb asses in North Texas.

    Had a white kid showed up with something like this, it would never have elicited the response from that (white) teacher. However, because the kid was brown skinned and Muslim on top of that he was instantly stereotyped as some sort of junior jihadist. The whole thing was beyond stupid. If the kid actually made a real bomb then how does it make sense that he would go around showing it off? All he needed to do was plant it and detonate it. I'm with you: anyone with a brain stem could see that there was no explosive charge - anyone except those morons over in Irving.

    BS. They didn't "arrest" him because they thought he really had a bomb, they did it because he was trying to make people think he did to cause a reaction. That's why he had it go off in class.

    It's crazy how many people can convince themselves to buy the BS they are selling but it probably says a bad thing about the education system in America.

    I tend to agree that the kid was attention-whoring and got stuck in a corner and now has to stick with his position because of it being such a big deal. On the other hand, more rational adults could have prevented this from becoming a big story. When I was 15, I brought toy guns to school as a prop for a class play. The teacher yelled at me for it after class and I learned my lesson. This was long time ago (like pre-Columbine) and probably would have ended up at least in a suspension nowadays. This kid's situation should have been dealt with at the teacher level....I know there are reasons why this doesn't work anymore nowadays, but I'm too lazy to re-read the thread. A good stern lecture would have taught him a lesson on how things can be misinterpreted. I know at least one teacher was sane and tried to keep this from becoming a big news story.

    It would have just been a failed attempt on his part and the family would have tried until a result was reached.

    That's a big presumption there. While I tend to agree he was attention whoring, I don't think he was looking for a big break to flip his life into some national thing either. Kids generally aren't like that...and while it's possible that you are correct, you have to acknowledge the possibility that this got way out of hand in part bc of overreacting school officials too. I really think if they had a do-over, everyone would be more sane and 1990's-like about this. I know I'm doing an old-man bit here, but I just hate overreacting irrational people nowadays.

    The kid made out well. The teacher and principal should get fired. They cost their district a lot of fees in lawyers and bad publicity. I don't know why Dan Cummings has a job.

    Based on what evidence (since you love evidence) do you have that he intended it to be a hoax bomb.

    This should be good.

    of course they aren't. I'm not implying he is some mastermind or even on board with the idea.

    Based on logic. There's no other reason for taking a commercially made clock out of it's case and putting it in a a pencil case then taking it to school, plugging it in, and making the alarm go off AFTER a teacher told the student that he should keep it in his backpack so that no one gets the wrong idea.

    He was very likely put up to it by his father and it was nothing more than a scam and an attempt to create propaganda.

    SMH, yes, I "made up" logic, it's not a real thing.

    What's your explanation for why essentially this happened?

    I cannot decide if you are naive or just bizarre.
