Northern Ontario,
Racist huh?
Isn't that the name they were calling people who were against Obama when he exchanged a bunch of terrorists from Guantanamo for Bergdahl....?

So where is the connection between hardened terrorist fighting in the Afganistan war and a 14 year old boy in Texas who is a brilliant straight A student.

I'm sure there is some logic with your connection, please elaborate.

Northern Ontario,
See post #25 for a proper reaction to the incident...
And at the bottom of that post, Idiot Obama's knee jerk reaction, the same reaction he had when he negotiated Bergdahl's release....
The term Racist is bandied about too quickly by people in this forum....don't be one of them!
Disagreeing with a person's decisions is not racist!

Ahmed Backlash Continues: Fox News Brings On Fuhrman For Police Rehab

TaThere is a segment of our population which simply cannot tolerate a happy ending for anyone who isn't white and Christian, so it was expected that there would be backlash against 14-year old Ahmed Mohamed. First, we had CJ Pearson, 13-year old already-bitter-but-enterprising kid who has been indoctrinated by conservative nonsense complaining, and now we have Megyn Kelly trotting out Mark Fuhrman to tell us all why the kid's invention shouldn't be believed to be a simple clock.
According to Fuhrman, Ahmed isn't an eager-beaver A student, but instead a passive-aggressive terrorist waiting to pounce, and police didn't overreact at all. Not one bit.

I cannot believe anyone could be so completely naive as to think this would be a good idea.

It's freaking insane.....we live in a world where if you leave your lunch bag in the lobby of some buildings they will call in the bomb squad.

You need to walk through metal detectors to get in to most schools.

You can be arrested for making a bomb joke in an airport and they have signs saying as much.

If you make the shape of a gun with your fingers........you can get suspended from some schools.

And now we have Twitter from Obama encouraging other kids to do the same thing? I have to say, never really bothered much with US politics but holy cow do I now see clearly where so many think Obama is a freaking idiot....because he is.



I am sticking to my original opinion. I don't see anything wrong with their reactions to his device.


And Obama is become less credible with every passing day. While Sara Palin is kind of a kook, she brought up some valid points in her speech today (or was it yesterday) about Obama.

Who in my eyes is nothing but a traitor, one who caused his fellow Marines to die while they were out looking for him.

It doesn't differ much, if at all, from my own.

Do I think they should have arrested and handcuffed him? Probably not, that was excessive. But honestly, the first teacher that viewed the apparatus should have brought it in to the office where the student could have picked it up at the end of the day. And that should have been the end of it.

But it wasn't and molehills were allowed to grow into mountain.s A mess of wires in a briefcase that was beeping? That should cause any reasonable person at least some concern. It has absolutely nothing to do with his culture, religion or background. ANY kid bringing something like that to school would have it view the same way.

It is insane that anyone would be making this about race, they are so damed eager to make everything about race they forgot it's also about a kid who made a poor decision in how he went about something.

Exactly. It's not like attacks at schools (by students of any race/creed) don't happen far too often, right? The first teacher, rather than telling him to keep it "hidden away", should have been up front and told the other teachers and principal what it really was. Then leave it in said principal's office until the end of the school day.


There are too many butthurt people out there. SJW for all!

You don't know Texas's history with race.

What poor decision? The poor decision was hiring an engineering teacher who can't tell a clock from a bomb. To say nothing of the cops. If I lived out there, I don't think I'd sleep all that well knowing I was being protected and served by cops who can't tell a digital clock from a bomb.

Yup, yup. Because never in the history of US public schools has anyone White been suspended/arrested for what was absolutely nothing. No little kid was ever suspended for biting his Poptart into the shape of a gun. No kid was ever suspended for wearing an NRA T-shirt. No kid was ever suspended and arrested for telling a short story about killing a dinosaur with a gun. But God forbid when it happens to a visibly minority, suddenly the brain-dead brigade starts yapping off about racism.

DaS, remember when I was followed by a concerned citizen, then pulled over by several OPP cruisers/officers, for looking big, angry and having a device and what looked like a rifle in my vehicle?

When do I get to go to 24 Sussex?

Oh of course not. I'm completely and totally ignorant about racism. Obviously every single person in Texas who gives pause, questions this situation or does not follow Obama on Twitter is a blatant racist. :roll:

Oh please, feel free to ignore the parts where I said the teacher was remiss, that the cops handcuffing and arresting were extreme.

And yes, I think anyone who thinks bringing a mess of wires and circuit boards in a briefcase that beeps, has an alarm of some kind or shows any kind of time display at all, needs to give their head a shake. I can buy the kid being naive because of his age, but no adult anywhere in his life thought maybe that might not be a good idea?

Muslim made Cookoo clocks for X-mas, (add appropriate 'package' for a selection of 'Made In Labels'. Made in Canada would be a hockey player. Made By ISIS would be something different, like a sparkler, only $14.99+ tax, buy 4 and free shipping included)
