Re: Nerdy 14 year old brings homemade clock to school and is arrested
Host Ed Wallace denied the officer's critiques. He wrote, "for it to be a bomb, it would have to be wired to a block of C4, dynamite, or even a pipe with explosives inside. None of which exists in Ahmed's circuit board. And that is the true stupidity of all this. Of course the police also knew this immediately and still arrested the kid. Therein lies the problem." (emphasis mine)

We have all seen those novelty clocks and I wouldn't be shocked if a 14yo kid just didn't think it through and made something similar as a joke. I would expect the press to mention it if so, but considering that would mean there was no story, the fact that the clock really does look, and was designed to look, like a bomb might just be left out. Why report the truth when you can make people look stupid and racist.
In this case, the media didn't have to make anyone “look stupid and racist”. The school and police did a good job of that by themselves, and people have been jumping on that bandwagon every since.Why report the truth when you can make people look stupid and racist.
It has now become a competition as to who can look the most stupid and racist.
