the best part of this is that I don't have the first clue what his name is, just that he's the "clock kid."
the worst part is that he'll get paid somehow. the SB will settle out of court.

I do. Decades long campaign by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce mostly. It plays up the handful of absurd cases or relies on poor characterizations of the facts to convince the legislators and the public that we need all kind of protections from boogeyman lawyers. Like damages caps to somehow prevent frivolous (ie worthless) cases.
meanwhile in Irving, TX -- where this incident took place -- we have this from this weekend:
Quote:
About a dozen protesters — most carrying long guns, some masked and one with his mother — lined up outside an Irving mosque on Saturday. They had come from as far away as Hunt County to the green-domed complex. To “Stop the Islamization of America,” as the mother’s hand-drawn sign urged.
Just horrifying. Im picturing people standing outside my synagogue with guns and masks telling people about how they're just trying to stop the Jewification of America. It's disgusting.
but wasn't the kid something of a pain in the ass, and didn't that inform the school district's decisionmaking to an extent that the media didn't really acknowledge at first?
He didn't "build" anything. He put a couple of pre made parts together. It was a kit. He didn't make it from scratch. Then he put it in a briefcase. At least that's what I read after people really started to look into this.

Less a kit and more like a decontructed and re-built mid 1990s Radio Shack clock radio.
and brings it to school pretending he built a clock. He actually did not build a clock. He took a clock apart and hoped he would be detained and/or suspended so he could sue the state.

and a teacher he showed it to previously had warned him not to show it to other teachers or anyone else, yet he still did and then when questioned about it became evasive and uncooperative.
I think stunt is appropriate given the family history and the details that were reported.

so you believe he purposely tried to do all of this, get arrested, and humiliated, so he could what exactly? move away? all that "Fame" he got is diminishing by the day,so if you think he was really trying to get that i believe you are mistaken.
maybe you are being sarcstic? i am really hoping so.
days before visiting Obama at White House "clock boy" visited the Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir who is wanted for War crimes for genocide of tens of thousands of Darfur citizens. Remember that was a big issue a few years back. Then he goes to the White House to be celebrated for his "invention". Then he moves to Qatar. WTf

Notice how everyone is outraged over the law suit but ignore this
His family is getting exactly what it wants. The ability to sue for millions. Fame, my ass. Nice gif though.
i highly doubt they really were hoping for this, is it a a thing now? no they certainly have that ability now, but i am not buying the fact this was a stunt and that they planned for all of this to happen, that sounds idiotic.
... the boy told The News that he spent just 20 minutes soldering a digital display to a circuit board and power supply, which he put inside a pencil case. His description matched a photo of the clock that police later released.
and ...
A statement sent out Tuesday from Irving City Hall acknowledged that a police “investigation determined the student apparently did not intend to cause alarm bringing the device to school.”

that's terrible, but only tangentially related to the OP at best. I won't claim there was no racial bias with how Mohamad was treated I have no idea, but this story and the other are mutually exclusive. start another thread and we can all say how awful the other one is.
I mean, given the state of other "normal" frivolous lawsuits, and looking on the insane clusterf*ck that the whole episode was, this all sounds about right. What the twon did was totally beyond the pale, and I would expect them to be hit with a lawsuit. So screw them.
Now, given that the kid's family picked up and is living the dream in Qatar now, screw them also.
Finally, Omar al-Bashir isn't just a bad guy. In fact, he's literally the #1 most wanted man in the International Criminal Court. Even ahead of all the Israeli lawmakers that I imagine make up #'s 2-100, so you know he's up to no good.

He never would have been invited to the White House. He could be a QB for the Bengals, but never get an invitation to the White House...
Sure it would have. Gingers have no souls.

Don't be foolish. If he was a ginger it would have been a real bomb...
It was a "stunt"?

Perhaps, in light of recent events, it might be a little more difficult than usual to find a sympathetic jury?

This kid needs to be arrested for a bomb hoax.

No one, not even the president, let the facts come out before praising this kid in the name of STEM and academic learning.
