> Fact 1: Ahmed claimed to have "invented" this clock in a video.
Which he did. He invented his particular clock arrangement. Not clocks in general... he's like... 3000 years too late on that front. Yes, it wasn't a complex project... but he's 17, who cares. Has no relevance to the subsequent school or police action.
> Fact 2: [...] Who plugs in an alarm clock in English class?
Teenagers, ones showing off their stuff to friends in particular. Has no relevance to the subsequent school or police action.
> Fact 3: [...] He did otherwise.
Because teenagers always listen to teachers, right? Worst case - confiscate it until the end of the day, maybe a detention. Has no relevance to the subsequent school or police action.
> Fact 4: There is no legitimate evidence that this incident was based on race. Plenty of white kids getting kicked out of school for toy guns.
Well... the police statements at the time were certainly racially ill-advised, but I'll give you this one under extreme charity. If you don't think that being brown skinned and named Ahmed Mohamed had anything to do with the over-reaction then I have a bridge to sell you. This is pretty obvious from you "legitimate evidence" dog whistle... as there's plenty of circumstantial and social evidence, but I doubt you'd call that "legitimate".
So far you're 1 for 4 here, not doing well.
> Fact 5: His dad is a known political agitator
Literally has nothing to do with Ahmed. So.. again has no relevance to the subsequent school or police action.
For being "against me" the facts you provide are pretty junk.
- Karunamon 11y ago. as there's plenty of circumstantial and social evidence, In which case you should share it with everyone else. I'm flat out saying there isn't any, other than a meme and confirmation bias.
- Karunamon 11y agoI'm just going to re-reply to this since it's 8 hours later: not one poster in this thread was able to bring up a single shred of evidence that supported the idea Ahmed's treatment was due to his race or religion, or indeed due to anything other than the same nonsense zero-tolerance policies we're all familiar with. I conclude that this idea exists purely as a media-created fantasy. "Racism exists, therefore that's what happened in this case.".
- abritinthebay 11y agoNo, most people just give up on arguing with repeatedly debunked conspiracy theorists. You're being treated like 911 Truth people. Rightfully ignored. Just because you're too dumb to work it out you're claiming victory.
