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

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".

Suing for such a ridiculous amount just shows that he is truly American.

I say give him and his father the $15M in the form of Hellfire missiles from a Predator drone. Or 3.

Money well-spent IMO.

See how fast some other "bright boy" tries that sort of stunt again after *that* sort of "payoff"!

Strat

I don't see how that would help, he'd surely get into trouble again if he tried to bring a Hellfire missile to school, even if he has all of the paperwork for it.

Cool ransom note Ahmed

Want to bring it to the White House?

I'm white and I agree, but then I'm a Nihilist :-)
