So what was it's purpose and when did he tell them? What is not true again?
He told the teacher in class, the principal at school, and the cops before they put the cuffs on him to take him away for interrogation. And "interrogation" was the word the police used, no Ahmed.
I had a nice time when I was there last, but I didn't realize then that every form of wildlife in Australia wants to kill you. Now I know better. Even the pigeons have venom that will make you die a slow, painful death.

Is it your perception that Muslims are exclusively brown or black?
Of course not. And that's what prompted my comment that originated this entire discussion: That the support for Ahmed the Clockmaker was shown as a way to show Muslims that not all Americans are stereotyping racist yokels.
Hatred of specific religions, racism, it's all bigotry. And most people aren't bigots. Fortunately, the ones that are like to shout it from the rooftops. It makes them easy to spot.
It's a lie to suggest that religions correlate to skin colors, Islam, Christianity et al have followers of all types.
Then why do all the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of Muslims always portray them as brown-skinned Arabs? Why do all the far-right cartoon blogs only portray Muslims as dark-skinned and Middle-Eastern?
We're talking about racists here. Don't expect them to fact-check their hatred.
I will assume you aren't being disingenuous and explained to you that when extra costs are added to doing business, these costs are passed on to consumers.
You need to look into the way carbon credits work a little more closely.
The(y) wrote a letter asking the government to imprison and destroy the lives of anyone that disagreed with them.
Let's read the letter together, shall we? It sounds like they're calling for civil RICO cases be brought. That means no imprisonment. Like libel, which the climate deniers' fraud most closely represents, the penalties are financial.
Dear President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, and OSTP Director Holdren,
As you know, an overwhelming majority of climate scientists are convinced about the potentially serious adverse effects of human-induced climate change on human health, agriculture, and biodiversity. We applaud your efforts to regulate emissions and the other steps you are taking. Nonetheless, as climate scientists we are exceedingly concerned that America’s response to climate change – indeed, the world’s response to climate change – is insufficient. The risks posed by climate change, including increasing extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increasing ocean acidity – and potential strategies for addressing them – are detailed in the Third National Climate Assessment (2014), Climate Change Impacts in the United States. The stability of the Earth’s climate over the past ten thousand years contributed to the growth of agriculture and therefore, a thriving human civilization. We are now at high risk of seriously destabilizing the Earth’s climate and irreparably harming people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people.
We appreciate that you are making aggressive and imaginative use of the limited tools available to you in the face of a recalcitrant Congress. One additional tool – recently proposed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse – is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change. The actions of these organizations have been extensively documented in peer reviewed academic research (Brulle, 2013) and in recent books including: Doubt is their Product (Michaels, 2008), Climate Cover-Up (Hoggan & Littlemore, 2009), Merchants of Doubt (Oreskes & Conway, 2010), The Climate War (Pooley, 2010), and in The Climate Deception Dossiers (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2015). We strongly endorse Senator Whitehouse’s call for a RICO investigation.
The methods of these organizations are quite similar to those used earlier by the tobacco industry. A RICO investigation (1999 to 2006) played an important role in stopping the tobacco industry from continuing to deceive the American people about the dangers of smoking. If corporations in the fossil fuel industry and their supporters are guilty of the misdeeds that have been documented in books and journal articles, it is imperative that these misdeeds be stopped as soon as possible so that America and the world can get on with the critically important business of finding effective ways to restabilize the Earth’s climate, before even more lasting damage is done.

How in hell you expect to lock up tens of millions of people without a civil war that'll make global warming look like a nice day at the park I don't really know.
There are not "tens of millions" of climate scientists who are for-profit climate change deniers. In fact, there seems to be about four of them who get rotated through Fox News and conservative radio every few weeks.
"Tens of millions" is the number of people who've been duped by them. Being stupid isn't a crime, or none of this would be an issue in the first place.

That's simply not true that he "refused to answer".
He told them "it's a clock" and they wanted a "broader explanation of it's purpose".
It was Irving goddamn Texas for chrissake. You think they have a French teacher?
The closest thing they have to foreign language studies is sophomore Biology.
I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure one of the "requisite components" of an explosive device is some fucking explosives.'
They claimed it was a "bomb hoax" four hoursafter they arrested the kid and had examined the clock to discern it's arcane meaning.
They claimed it was a bomb hoax to try to cover their stupid cracker asses.
Monica Lewinsky is alive. David Cameron fucked a dead pig.
No, you can't spin this. The PM of England fucked a dead pig. He fucked. a dead. pig. As in, "had carnal relations with". Dead pig...
Are we really going to sit here and talk about Great Britain without mentioning the fact that the Prime Minister actually and literally fucked a pig?

OK, carry on.
Did SJW assholes call your mom, too? Brother, that's why guys like you and me are MGTOWs. Because moms are not the boss of us.
God, I hate SJWs, with their "moral superiority".

No, it's really not. In the US, you're more likely to die from toenail fungus than from terrorist attacks.
It just serves the purposes of the plutocrats to have every scared.
The best things you can do for your family's safety is check the wiring in your house and not own a gun.
That's what I thought, until one gave me gonorrhea.

With Apple, you can invite anyone into your house, as long as you let them have butt sex with you. Literally.
I love doing Apple metaphors when I'm half-drunk.
