Break this town. Seriously. Leave them living in mud huts and digging in the dirt for food.

-Because it was a clock

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.”

Because they didn’t really think it was a bomb...or even a “movie bomb.” They thought they could terrify a kid into “confessing” that he’d made a fake bomb to bring to school (to scare people, I guess) and by the time they realized they couldn’t there was no walking the story back. Now they’re just gonna ride it until…

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.”

This country has gone insane. I blame the 24 hour news cycle.

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.

I mean GOOD FOR HER.
