Let me be the first to say:
And SOOOO Much fail on the schools part. and the cops.
"It could reasonably be mistaken as a device if left in a bathroom or under a car," Irving police spokesman James McLellan told the News.
OK, Sherlock. Was it left in any of those places? No. It was in the builder's possession.
"The concern was, what was this thing built for? Do we take him into custody?" McClellan admitted that Mohamed has always maintained the device was a clock and officers have no reason to believe the contraption is dangerous.
It was built because it's a good project for a 89th grader that wants to build things? and has an Engineering teacher? Or is that too simple?
What *expletive deleted*ing useless public
servants employees we have. Take it from someone that has been through
several IED classes. Bombs don't look like clocks with wires. They look like pretty much ANYTHING else. How did we become so pussified as a country?
That said, I do like the Engineering Teachers (alleged) response:
"He was like, 'That’s really nice,'" Mohamed told the paper. "'I would advise you not to show any other teachers.'"
Optional subtext: "Because my coworkers are simpering cowards and morons."
