Seriously, why does anyone even care what Bristol Palin has to say about anything? She’s completely irrelevant, as far as I’m concerned. Ahmed Mohamed has ALREADY accomplished more in life than she probably ever will.

Even with the qualifiers this does a real disservice to Michael Palin.

This is what’s wrong with America right here. This. Not Bristol Palin herself, but what she represents — the fact that so many stunningly, proudly pig-ignorant, determinedly undereducated, information-resistant people think they know enough about anything to tell others how they should think and behave.

It’s a Michael Palin minus the brain, wit, charm and penis.

Thank god someone in this country is will to ask the question “but how do white people feel right now?”

As if the Palin clan has ever cared about less racial strife, or any strife at all. Their bread and butter is shit stirring.

Yes, Bristol, you’re absolutely right. The police who dragged a 14-year-old out of school in handcuffs for building a science project and subjected him to hours of racist interrogation without allowing him access to a lawyer or his parents are the real victims here. The police and white people everywhere. Can’t put…

-why did this kid think it was ok to bring a device that makes a noise to his other classes and be disruptive?

The funny thing is that you’re assuming the “zero tolerance” policy applies to a goddamn clock. Have you seen the policy? Does it prohibit kids from bringing clocks to school? Do we need to start confiscating all the watches children are wearing? You are what’s wrong with this country. You are the hysterical person so…

1) It’s not a matter of perception. It is, in fact, a clock. Not a bomb. That’s not perception. That’s fact. They can perceive it to be a shark with a friggin’ laser, won’t make it so.

The next time Texas asks to seceede can we just let them?

-Because it was a clock

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye need to seriously show up for this boy. I have faith.

First thing I thought was “poor fucking kid” as well.

A police spokesman told the Dallas Morning News that they didn’t believe Ahmed was building the clock out of pure curiosity. “We have no information that he claimed it was a bomb,” he said. “He kept maintaining it was a clock, but there was no broader explanation.”

Can we talk about the more concerning fact that apparently when this English teacher sees a device she believes is a bomb, she just confiscates and keeps it instead of, I don’t know, leaving it there and evacuating the building?

They led Ahmed into a room where four other police officers waited. He said an officer he’d never seen before leaned back in his chair and remarked: “Yup. That’s who I thought it was.”

I hate GoFundMe. I haaaaaaate GoFundMe. But I feel like starting one to send this kid to MIT.

That poor fucking kid. He must’ve been so proud of what he made and to have his efforts met with such racist suspicion is heartbreaking. He sounds like a great student and every teacher involved in this mess should be thoroughly ashamed.
