nice try, but no. the notion that a single term encapsulates an entire nuclear policy let alone the decision making process of implementing it is abject nonsense.

knowing the definition of “nuclear triad” is basic information? GMAFB. hillary clinton doesn’t understand how email works. personally, i’d be a bit more worried about that than a candidate who doesn’t know the definition of an obscure technical term that in now way impacts a potential decision making process of using…

and how is that relevant here?

looks like they’re having fun.

why would a businessman be familiar with what is admittedly an obscure technical term? i’d be willing to bet he wasn’t alone on the stage not knowing that term off hand. i think the broader point that our nuclear forces, and our military at large need modernization is understood by all of the candidates.

of course it is.

cool story... we also have a current pres who doesn’t have a clue how to pronounce “corpsman”, we have a former sec. of state/pres candidate who doesn’t understand how email works. not that either is at the level of importance as command and control of our nuclear arsenal, but i think it points to the fact that most…

awd and safety features? you can’t be serious. when your relevant experience in this conversation is having sat in a c63, i’m not sure you’re the qualified opinion you seem to think you are.

didn’t cross shop hard enough? i drove both. and in my opinion, the e is not so much more car for the money.

Why in the hell is this article being shared on jalopnik???? why the need to interject political rants on a blog about automobiles?

such is the zero tolerance world we live in.... and those examples serve to show this is far from some racially motivated nonsense that’s being pushed here. this kid, white, brown or otherwise would have in all likelihood faced the exact same situation.

yeah, it’s easy to support your narrative with one sided commentary.

yeah, in a perfect world, you’re probably right. but in the real world, in a school district with a zero tolerance policy that happens to include hoaxes, it’s irrelevant. again, i agree this should not have resulted in this kid being arrested or suspended. my beef is with this article insisting that any mouth…

nonsense. you do realize, bombs can be made from much less.... and again, when it comes to schools/kids, i’ll take the better safe than sorry route every time. kid didn’t have to be arrested/suspended though.

seeing as how underwear and shoes can be made into bombs, i’m pretty sure the explosive parts can be tricky to ID.

and don’t even suggest that kids might try and actually harm their classmates. because that shit just never happens.

given the fact underwear and shoes can be made into a bomb, i think your argument is pretty weak.... when kids/schools are involved, i think some leeway should be give for the better safe than sorry approach. do think this could have been resolved without the kid being suspended/arrested.

did the right thing? he offered his opinion that anyone should have been able to clearly discern this to be in fact a clock and not a bomb. while i disagree with his opinion, not sure how we could conclude it being the right or wrong thing... it’s merely an opinion.

yes, and there’s plenty of examples. many for much less threatening things than a clock.... like squirtguns, pop tarts, fingers pointed like gun....

well i’ll be sure and bring that up at our next city council meeting that google is adequate to replace our local EOD crew. they sure seem to take many “obviously” not a bomb things pretty seriously. it may be obvious to you, but to expect the average person with zero electronics experience to be able to decipher what…
