Looks like a clock to me...

Look at that evil beard.... and the pure evil of the guy standing next to him (with the little wispy beard)...

On topic of the source story, did no one think to ask his engineering teacher?
F[moderated]ing stupid ass paranoia. I hate the damned 'Murica mindset. People have obviously not learned a damned thing from a century ago.
While not exactly the same as the isolationists of the 1930's, the results of the current 'Murica sentiment are highly comparable..

What's worse (to me) is that this happened in the town where my youngest daughter was born. I used to live there and work there. It's a very cosmopolitan town. Netflix "most popular local shows" are not in English or Spanish. That it happened in a high rent, high tech place that I used to live in is so sad. This isn't rural west Texas, this is the center of the DFW!
Things like this so solidify why my kids will never attend school in Texas!

There are two things that I keep coming back to in the source story:
-
They thought a kid brought a bomb to school so... they arrested the kid without evacuating the school. If I were any other student or a parent of a student at that school, I would be horrified to know that the school won't do anything to actually protect anyone in the event of a bomb threat - just punish who they think is responsible.
-
The statement by the police where they say Ahmed was "handcuffed for his safety". What? No. I get that whoever prepared that statement was on a tight deadline to translate their racial profiling into standard procedure, but that line is just infuriating to me.

Great point, I had not heard that they had done nothing for the safety of the other students.

It's like your DR plan being "Fire whoever caused the disaster. You're all done!"

Nope, just lock up the brown kid. 'Merica. F*ck yeah.

I've heard of this before... The "logic" is that you detain the suspect so they won't be caught in with the evacuating crowd which, if they blew the bomb up then, would result in more casualties. Of course you are supposed to evacuate the building and sweep for bombs afterward as well.
