[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Guess what, a Texas middle school seems a pretty unlikely target in comparison to the "President's Park."  Once a goober always a goober.[/quote]

And how about a high school in say, Columbine, Colorado?       Is that an unlikely target?    If a student walks in with what looks like a gun or a bomb, should we not say anything, because it is most likely harmless?

A bomb is neither a joking matter or an opportunity to score political points. [/quote]

To the best of my knowledge, no one is arguing that the school did anything wrong by asking questions about the device.  If anything, it would have been remiss of them not to.  The problem is the knee-jerk escalation simply because he was a Muslim - I won't bring his skin tone into the mix lest it distract some of you.  Perhaps even notifying the police was prudent and part of the protocol.  The problems start with stupid cops making stupid comments and baseless allegations.  Had I been in the place of the student - who some of you seem to forget is only 14 - I would have copped an attitude the size of the Lone Star State itself. It may be presumptuous but I'm guessing an intelligent Muslim teenager living in Texas has a pretty good understanding of his rights as an Ametican citizen.  Then, in spite of the fact there was more than sufficient evidence to realize that this was an overreaction on the part of the school, he winds up arrested and cuffed because irving's version of Starsky and Hutch don't care for his attitude.  A much better way to have handled the situation would have been not to treat the boy as a terrorist but to sit him down and explain why the school was alarmed and responded in the manner it did.  A teachable moment if you will.  That would be expecting too much.  Instead, the fucknute double down on their stupidity by not bothering to contact his parents before taking a minor into custody and then adding further insult and injustice by suspending him from school.  In the end, the 14-year old comes out looking more mature than the dumbass adults who are supposed to be in charge.  Someone needs to be held accountable.
