[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm late to the party but has anyone actually considered that being Muslim had nothing to do with it?

My history teacher's (white) son was arrested for making a "bomb" as a senior prank. I think Steve Wozniak (co founder of Apple) was too.

They were never invited to the white house, asked for interviews etc.

Well Steve Wozniak got some giant-ass batteries that looked like dynamite and strapped it to a metronome.  Then he rigged it so it would tick faster after someone opened the locker it was sitting in.

In other words, Wozniak ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY BUILT A FAKE BOMB.   So of course he got arrested. [/quote]

Do you have a point or not [/quote]

Yes.  My point is that Wozniak made a fake explosive charge and strapped it to a timer. do you not see how that materially affects the decision to arrest the kid?[/quote]Why? Cuz the cops said, hey, Wozniak made a fake bomb so let's arrest this kid?  Because of course the police carefully study the history of any famous person who plays a prank.[/quote]

You are confusing posters.  I was saying "do you not see how that materially affects the decision to arrest the kid (Wozniak)"

He faked an explosive charge.  Of course he got arrested.  In contrast, this kid built a clock, called it a clock, and never displayed anything that appeared to contain explosive.  [/quote]
