Detention for making a fake bomb and bringing it to school. I've heard everything now. Detention...
If anyone brought a fake bomb into my kid's school I would demand that police were called and that the kid be suspended at least.
As for 15million...
...cloud cuckoo land...
Well, from what I'm reading is that his project is literally a clock pulled from another clock and put inside a suitcase which went off twice in class. If it wasn't for a science project, wasn't his own invention, and went off twice during class (which means it was set on purpose), then yes the whole ordeal sounds very suspicious. Especially when you consider that his father is trying to become the president of Sudan and an anti-Islamist, so there might be some political gain in it for him too.
Also, the kid has been showered with gifts from the likes of Microsoft, met the president, met the CEO of Google, received scholarships, moved to a better school zone, yet on top of all of that they want $15 million. The more you read into the case, the crazier the story gets.
Oh... it's that kid that made a clock that looked like a bomb and brought it to school and whose family members have a history of accusing people of Islamophobia and whose sister was suspended previously from the same school after she threatened to blow it up.
I thought this story was long dead, but seems like a new lawsuit:
Father of Texas 'clock boy' Ahmed Mohamed sues Glenn Beck, Fox for defamation
If they felt wronged then sue. I didn't realise that if you don't request a certain amount in your claim and more facts come up later, it's difficult to change the amount they are suing for. So you need to start with a crazy number then let the judge grant whatever, which is limited by the number you are suing for.
How do you rationalize the fact that on one hand, you make a federal case over 10HKD, call the cops, waste time (theirs and yours) all over 1.5 USD
but then
When a kid is arrested and interrogated, then after all the facts come out - some people still perpetuate lies : and you want him to turn the other cheek.
Thats pretty damn cheeky.
Why would you expect the kid to let it go, the internationally told lies that have damaged his reputation for many years to come while you cant let go the price of 1/2 cup of coffee ?
