"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".

    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"!

    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.

    What if he was still in the Belgian Army at the time, or in a book club, or a fantasy football league? Is it fair to say that some scientific theory began with [insert group X] merely because the originator of the theory was also associated with group X?

    He was also a scientist. I think that might have had more to do with his scientific contributions than some other affiliations he had.

    He and his family will donate the money to some radical Islamic group now that they're moving (or have moved already) back to the Middle East.

    If the money is paid, it will be like buying weapons for our enemies. Fuck 'Clock Boy' and his whole family.

    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.

    They sure do have mandated classes in Qatar for religion though. Texas on the other hand, doesn't.

    Yes, Texas has mandated teaching of religion in schools.
