[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting... listening to a the kid being interviewed. The kid says the engineering teacher told him not to show it to anyone because it could be mistaken for a bomb. He apparently didn't listen and showed it to the English teacher, who raised the alarm bells. Why didn't administration talk to the engineering teacher.

Sitting with a representative of an activist Muslim group who is nodding her head is not helping the kid much. That's what I mean - instead of one of his parents, there's Alia Salem of Cair-DFW at the interview.[/quote]

the kid sounds kind of bratty, but of course the handcuffs, etc were way out of line. its crazy how hes being depicted as a martyred victim rather than a kid with poor judgment.[/quote]

Show me a 14-year old who doesn't have lapses in judgment.  His project was confiscated and he was yanked out of class and sent to a room with Ted Blart (Paul's less intelligent cousin) and the LEO equivalent of dumb, dumber and even dumberer.  In my experience, really smart kids don't have a lot of patience with dimwits, particularly when they form judgements based on your skin color and/or religious beliefs.  The fact these stooges couldn't fathom that someone might make a clock for the sake of msking a clock was icing on a three-layer cake of imbecility.  So, no I don't expect a 14-year old to exercise the same judgement as an adult might in similar circumstances, but then again I expect too much by thinking the supposed adults would not antagonize or insult a teenager and therefore elicit a better response.  Try to put yourself in the position of this boy.  In reality, did nothing wrong but disrupt the class and yet he's thrown in a room with a bunch of tighy-wound fucknute looking for an excuse to put him in cuffs.  His parents could have been called, but instead they went into some dimestore interrogarion mode and tried to strong arm him into confessing to something he didn't do.  It's bullshit and it's fucking shameful. [/quote]
