The Schools Loss Here In My Opinion

This lad seems to be what every school needs...a bright, articulate pupil. What a pity that the school didn't recognise that.

The school should have a bit of common sense, and that image of a school boy in handcuffs still disgusts me !



I'm trying to find out who took that image...with no luck.

Also (I love a good conspiracy theory) I found this http://blogs.artvoice.com/techvoice/2015/09/17/reverse-engineering-ahmed-mohameds-clock-and-ourselves/

That does look very, very similar

Also, it seems that it had crossed Ahmed mind that this 'invention' 'clock'
could be seen as threatening listen to him @ 1:20+

That's a good article, tablet. There's some great comments and videos below it. One person invented/made his clock in 15 seconds, lol.

Trouble is, tablet, the people who dived in hook, line and sinker ain't likely to read or absorb it. They made their minds up minutes/seconds after reading the headlines.

I know everybody has moved on and this story is now chip paper but I'm intrigued by it.

"That clock was part of my future plan" ........say what?

"It's the motherboard of an entire media player" there's no holding this kids genius back!

He looks very happy in this interview and all the others he has taken part in.

But alas he is also traumatised

His sister apparently got suspended from school too.

“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with.”

[Svejk]

His supporters certainly seem to have moved on, now that his story is unravelling.
I'm still enjoying it immensely.

It's still intriguing me.

AOG...Would this kid have been arrested and handcuffed if he hadn't been Muslim, is a much more relevant question !

Another question I have ... there is no battery in the picture of the clock, so in order for the alarm to go off in the English lesson Ahmed must have plugged it in despite being told by his science teacher to put it away and not show anyone else.

Qatar's gain?

Has anyone had a change of mind about this story?
mikey?

Morning, mikey...have you abandoned this thread?

[Svejk]

Hope for his sake he doesn't pull a similar stunt in Qatar.
