"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".

    In Qatar, that $15 Million will buy a lot of Allahmunition though.

    You could also say "The big bang theory began with the Belgian Army", because he was also in that.

    However, as more information came to light about his father, it started to look more and more like a setup.

    Well, sure, if you're the sort of person that thinks that Sandy Hook was a false flag operation, or a moron, for short.
