Hasn’t the auto pilot been shown to have an accident-per-mile rate far, far below that of human operated cars? And if so, isn’t it just counter-factual scaremongering to act like they’re putting some dangerous thing out there? If anything, those of us NOT using autopilot are the ones putting people at higher risk.

Where can kids get guns made out of chicken nuggets? Because they suspended a WHITE KID (OOOOOOOHHHHH) over that.

The point is that the pistol in that example is ACTUALLY as harmless as a paperweight, but people would worry because of what it LOOKS like.

I remember during the “expensive gas crisis” of 2008 or so, I saw a chart explaining how the government’s cut of every gallon of gas was WAY more than the oil company’s profit. Yet somehow the oil companies are price gouging monsters and the government just can’t manage to get by without yet again jacking up taxes.

Not to mention all of the money that was given for “Shovel Ready Jobs”.

Like father, like son. Like father in law, like son in law. Like incestuous family activity, like beard for incestuous family activity.

I can take a picture of a pistol with the barrel removed right now that anyone with a decent knowledge of firearms could tell you wasn’t able to fire just by inspecting the photo. But the rest of you would go “That’s a gun” the second you saw it, and probably not ever notice anything was amiss until I pointed it out.

You’re right, it is pretty small. So small that it’s only about the size of three grenades. Couldn’t possibly be dangerous.

Man, you are soooo woke.

If they really thought it was a bomb, they would have evacuated the school instead of just humiliating the kid.

*White* People suck.

But he’s a brown and Muslim so... bye, bye civility.

What’s your argument, that a Muslim student wouldn’t make a hoax in the US?

I’m convinced the entire matter was a troll job from the outset.

Can’t they have punished him because they thought he wanted people to think it was a bomb, even if they had realized it wasn’t an actual bomb?

That’s the infuriating thing. I’m convinced the entire matter was a troll job from the outset.

A gun is a weapon. A clock is not.

A-FUCKING-MEN.

This was a giant scam and you are falling for it. He didn’t even “Build a clock”. They took the housing off a clock and arranged the guts in a black case to freak people the fuck out for the exact publicity you are giving it.

We live in a world where kids get suspended for pointing their fingers like guns at each other. Given that reality, I think it is WELL within the margin of error to react to this “clock the kid built” (which itself is bullshit) as if it were a bomb.
