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…

I was going to give you an eloquent response but by the time I got to the bottom all I wanted to say was fuck you, you fucking moron.

You’re literally the worst.

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.

One of the NASA people are already on that.

-Because it was a clock

Why do they have this kid’s fingerprints?

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’m very skeptical of their story. When police take a bomb threat seriously, they evacuate the premises and send in a little robot to investigate/detonate it. This is straight up “this kid is a Muslim and an engineer which means he could grow up to be a bomb-making terrorist, so let’s give him a scare he’ll never…

From the Independent article:

The victim did not consent.

She did not consent to sex with the woman named Gayle Newland.

Also, 2015 is pretty much the only time in the history of time where it is totally and completely believable that someone would agree to have sex with someone they met on the Internet without being able to see their face.

Are we really using the word “seduced” here, Jezebel?

I am baffled by how many commenters under the original article were bending over backwards to find a way to accuse the victim of homophobia (one nutcase compressed their own spine into a singularity in order to call it transphobia in spite of the fact that literally no one anywhere near this story identifies as trans*…

They weren't previously friends, to be clear. She first befriended this woman using her online male alter ego.

Thank you. If that was in the article, you wouldn’t have people saying that it’s plausible the victim may be in denial about being attracted to women.

it is still somewhat hard to believe that a woman would agree, in 2015, to have sex with someone they met on the Internet without being able to look at their face.

Yea but if you are going to use my Netflix account use the god damned Guest profile I set up and stop f*cking with my list!!!!
