This kind of belies the idea that this is a new phenomenon.
- michaelchisari 11y agoExcept Woz did what he could to make it seem like it was a bomb, then left it in a locker. Very different from Ahmed's situation.
- astrodust 11y agoHe built what was intentionally a fake bomb. Notice: No felony charges. No criminal record. If Steve Wozniak was 15 today and did the same things he did as a teenager back then he would already have a rap sheet too big to fit in a binder.
- strictnein 11y agoThe larger topic, that schools and police greatly overreact to misbehavior (whether real, or as in Ahmed's case, imagined) by students, especially boys, is in no way a new phenomenon. It's been going on for decades.
