"Clock Boy" Ahmed Mohamed Seeking $15 Million In Damages

Posted by samzenpus on from the paying-the-price dept.

phrackthat writes: The family of Ahmed Mohamed, the boy who was arrested in Irving, Texas has threatened to sue the school and the city of Irving if they do not pay him $15 million as compensation for his arrest. To refresh the memories of everyone, Ahmed's clock was a clock he disassembled then put into a pencil case that looked like a miniature briefcase. He was briefly detained by the Irving city police to interview him and determine if he intended for his clock to be perceived as a fake bomb. He was released to his parents later on that day and they publicized the matter and claimed Ahmed was arrested because of "Islamophobia".

  1. WHERE CAN I CHECK MY WHITE PRIVILEGE?!? by CajunArson · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So when people tell me to check my white privilege, what they are saying is that if I'm not white I can really bank some serious money without doing any honest work simply by accusing "society" of being [racist|sexist|homophobic|islamophobic|everythingphobic]??

    WHERE CAN I SIGN UP TO CHECK IT IN!?!?!?

  2. More like $100k by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I think something around $100k could be reasonable as the price to send him to a private school for a few years.

    You DO realize that he's moving to Qatar [cnn.com] right?

    Qatar is Amsterdam compared to Texas. You know, they only have two things in Texas, right?

    And you don't look like a steer.
