The only thing the clock this kid made is telling is that we're still in a time where racism and xenophobia is rampant still in America.
The comments on that article are abhorrent. Even if it was pre-planned or not they definitely exposed the real problem we have in America. Not terrorists, but ourselves.
- aikah 11y agoFunny because in this very discussion > This kid stuck a Radio Shack clock in a pencil case, and deliberately disrupted a class with it after he was asked to put it away -- he plugged it into the wall and left it beeping until he was kick out of class and arrested for having a hoax bomb. > The only thing the clock this kid made is telling is that we're still in a time where racism and xenophobia is rampant still in America. Sure ,but is it about racism ? or is this about the media making stuff up ? Was he arrested because he was "brown" ? or because he behaved like a moron in class ? I don't have the answers, but let's choose our champions carefully here. The media often make up their own stories just for the sake of milking them ad nauseam. It wouldn't be the first time.
- kraig911 11y agoI think my point is there is no champion at all in this. Whether his story was true or he deliberately did it. In the end both scenarios playing out we as USA still lose. Only one scenario makes us look less bad but bad is still bad.
