UPDATE: Police Drop Charges Against Kid Who Brought ‘Hoax Bomb’ Clock to Class, Blame Him for Being ‘Naive’

This is RICH. Or pathetic. Actually, it’s both.
So, after 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed brought a homemade clock to school to show his engineering teacher on Monday, he ended up being arrested for making a ‘hoax bomb’. The entire time he maintained it was a clock, continually telling everyone over and over, from his teachers to his principal to the five officers who responded to the scene that it was a clock.
Obviously if they had thought the ‘hoax bomb’ was any kind of serious threat, the school would’ve immediately been on lockdown, something that never happened.
Police arrested, handcuffed, and fingerprinted Ahmed and took his mugshot before finally releasing him to his parents. The Irving, Texas PD kept the clock in an evidence locker pending further investigation. Ahmed was still suspended from school for three days, for what, we aren’t really sure.
The principal told Ahmed, ‘it looked like a movie bomb’. Is this guy an adult? Even little kids know that ‘movie bombs’ aren’t real.
Following an outcry on social media today, the police have finally dropped the charges.
Check out what Irving Police Chief Larry Boyd said during the press conference wherein he tried to impress the nation (and the world) with the idea that this somehow wasn’t instigated by the fact that A) our teachers have been dumbed down and weaponized and trained to make kids afraid of their own imagination and B) this kid is a Muslim named Ahmed:
