Really? That sounds like a solid step towards fascism.
Sorry, I forgot a smiley on that one. b^)
Heh. It's difficult to tell. :-) That doesn't sound like a far-fetched sentiment outside of the HN community.

Funny you should put it like that. Now that actual pictures of the "digital clock" are available, that is first time I have seen a clock built into a metal suitcase that, golly gee, somewhat resembles a bomb. Ya'll are being absurd. That kid new what he was doing, I did stupid shit like that when I his age...worse in fact, these days I would have made national headlines if I had been caught. So I know what I am talki…
"Metal suitcase"? "Briefcase"? It's merely the size of a pencil box. In fact, it IS a pencil box. Call a spade a spade.
I'm so annoyed that NO ONE is mentioning THIS fact. It's a pencil box people

#123This should have included some introspection on the part of the school and/or police force involved. Instead they are digging in behind the narrative that their fear was reasonable and their reaction was justifiable, and that Ahmed somehow withheld information that would have changed their mind at some point. This is classic school faculty behavior: do it our way or else. He could have 'played ball' and explained in…
He did explain in detail. The only part he left out was the not true part about it being a real or fake bomb.

#124"Attached is a picture of the device that shows it was suspicious in nature." Nope, it shows no such thing - I see bare electronics, that's all. I really do think that the idea that that is intrinsically "suspicious" needs to be challenged, or better yet ridiculed.
Or best, educated.
