No one who has a logical rational thought in their head would believe that this kid is smart for putting the internals of a clock into a suitcase to make it look like a clock; everyone knows thats BS! It was made to look like a bomb. End of story. We have 100's upon 1000's of movies that predicate as such that if you see a clock and a suitcase together it's a bomb. Someone, if not the kid, may have coached this kid into building it this way to suit a narrative or agenda

As in to get sympathy for Muslims? Because a 14 year old nerd arrested in a NASA t-shirt proud of his 'hacked' clock will do that regardless of his race/religion.
Or am I missing the point?

As in find a reason to sue a school/police for money, it's usually about money. It's all to convenient. And at 14, a gutted clock is lame and child's play, at 14 most in my grade were soldering pcb's with components making 28.8 baud modems. A clock in a new "case" isn't "geek" at all.

He was a fourteen year-old kid who wanted to show everyone how smart he was by taking apart a clock and shoving it in a briefcase so the other kids would think he had made a bomb. (It wasn't a fucking invention of any kind!)
And I'm not the one making it a "political thing", you ignorant jackwad, that's the doing all of the people losing their shit over this story because a "brown" kid actually got in trouble for acting like an idiot.

Your best guess is that his intent was to scare or intimidate people with a fake bomb.
I guess this has entered political-social conversation and this is the split.
BTW, insulting people in threads by using base insults, to me that is really low-class. I am less impressed with the direction voat is going in here.

Yeah I'm sure trying to make it look like a bomb was totally an accident. Mussie lying cowards don't change, nor do their cucks (you).
