zipity said...: Precisely. This drives me nuts. Why, in cases like the Florida school shooter, when the facts are simply not in dispute, do the cases drag on for months and years?

Sure, give him a fair trial, but whatever happened to speedy? Especially in cases with dozens if not hundreds of eye witnesses and a full confession from the accused.

Perhaps it's because of the impact it would have on billable hours..?; 3/15/18, 10:50 AM

That was a setup from start to finish, and the media fell for it, probably willingly. All the kid did was pulls one wires out of a clock. It didn't function any better or do anything special; it was no boy genius science project, as media and Obama seemed to claim. It was goofy.; 3/15/18, 11:06 AM

@POTUS44
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?
We should inspire more kids like you to like science.
It's what makes America great.

So, was O'Bama REALLY so stupid? Or was he Really just being an asshole?

"OH MY GOD IT'S A CLOCK! TAKE COVER MEN!"

They should end public schools. It's a liberal den of iniquity.

I hear the citizens of Irving has organized theirselves into a committee of public safety which they says is to pertect the town agen me, Ahmed Mohamed. Sech doings as that irritates me. You'd think I was a public menace or something.

I'm purty dern tired of their slanders. I didn't tear down their cussed jail; the buffalo-hunters done it. How could I when I was in it at the time?

As for the Silver Boot saloon and dance hall, it wouldn't of got shot up if the owner had showed any sense. It was Ace Middleton's own fault he got his hind laig busted in three places, and if the city marshal had been tending to his own business instead of persecuting a pore, helpless stranger, he wouldn't of got the seat of his britches full of buckshot.

Folks which says I went to Irving a-purpose to wreck the town, is liars. I never had no idea at first of going there at all. It's off the railroad and infested with tinhorn gamblers and buffalo-hunters and sech-like varmints, and no place for a trail-driver.

My visit to this lair of vice come about like this: I'd rode p'int on a herd of longhorns to where the railroad was. And I stayed after the trail-boss and the other boys headed south, to spark the belle of the town, Betty Wilkinson, which gal was as purty as a brand-new bowie knife.; 3/15/18, 12:01 PM

mccullough said...: The same folks who whipped up that Progressive Pep Rally to force kids to “walk out” of school yesterday were the first ones to defend this junior jihadi for bringing a fake bomb to school to scare the shit out of everyone.

It wasn’t “cool” to do that. It was a fucking threat.

Obama is the stupidest of the Elites in this country.

Who were all those Silicon Valley morons inviting this junior jihadi?

It was a fake bomb. A cheap fucking clock that his dad took the case off.

Everyone who defended this kid is a fucking moron; 3/15/18, 12:27 PM
Etienne said...: Kyzernick said...Etienne has apparently never seen an IED's internals, or one in action.

au contraire madame !

Intermittent explosive disorder (sometimes abbreviated as IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by explosive outbursts of anger and violence, often to the point of rage,

that are disproportionate to the situation at hand (e.g., impulsive screaming triggered by relatively inconsequential events).

Cool clock, Ahmed.

Obama was just shilling for Radio Shack, catalog number 63 756, and, as much as I hate to be fair, it was a cool clock back in 1986.

Martin said...: Actually, this is IMPORTANT.

If these a-holes had won it would have chilled any school or other unit of state/local government from doing anything before the disaster actually happened. In the wake of Parkland, where the authorities did nothing in the face of numerous specific threats, reports, and likely criminal acts by Cruz, that should be screamed from the rooftops.

"When you see something, say something" only works when the people you say it do then DO something.; 3/15/18, 3:21 PM
Leland said...: The kid brought something to school that interrupted the class. He can call it a science project or whatever; but it went off during an English class and disrupted that class. It is in that setting an initial investigation was made and action taken. He had this science project plugged into the wall with an alarm set to go off during his English class. None of that is satisfactory behavior. His behavior continued to decline when others got involved in the investigation, which led to his eventual arrest.

If you don't think any of that is appropriate on the part of the school and the police; then your ideas have a lot to do with the inactivity that led to the shooting in Parkland, Fl.; 3/15/18, 3:26 PM

The hell he didn't:

(1) President Clinton’s admission of providing false testimony that was knowingly misleading, evasive, and prejudicial to the administration of justice before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas; (2) his acknowledgement that his conduct violated the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Arkansas Supreme Court; (3) the five-year suspension of his license to practice law and $25,000 fine imposed on him by the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas; (4) the civil contempt penalty of more than $90,000 imposed on President Clinton by the federal court for violating its orders; (5) the payment of more than $850,000 in settlement to Paula Jones;

The Vault Dweller said...: I'm torn on this case. The father of Ahmed looks like he is very politically active in a Pro-Islam sort of sense. So I could see that Ahmed made the clock and brought it in at the behest of his father to try and stir up controversy.

Chris N said...: It’s almost like we could have had a President with better ideas; ideas which keep rule of law, deeper human commonalities, getting your facts right and inheriting religious freedom, individual freedom and individual responsibility...in view. Genuine civility over civility bullshit.

Or at least an understanding out of the black experience (very necessarily an identity, but not necessarily a Marxist one given racial history in this country) that allowed for black exploitation, suffering, and constant subjugation by seeking to strengthen civic associations, religious freedom and the strength and development of individuals. (Do you attack the institutions while they’re discriminating and directly attacking you...specifically targeting your race?)

Instead we got Barry...and a lot of resentful ideology which seeks a political solution to many non-political problems, exploits and mobilizes resentment and anger indefinitely, and which seeks to shakedown institutions while simultaneously trying to control institutions.

Voting Americans are still paying for this choice, especially through bad law, bad faith, radical chic and heightened racial tensions, further weakening institutions and civic trust.

Fuck off, clock boy, a narrow little chiseler modeled by conniving parents...enabled by a President welcoming all manner of street protest theater and anti-American sentiment to leverage words over deeds and anger over understanding.
