Oh and just because I have the crazy curiosity of a cat: the kid was told not to show the device to anyone, and then apparently immediately plugged it in when he was in his next class and set up the alarm so it would go off, and then a teacher asked for it and the kid never mentioned another teacher could vouch for him it wasn't a bomb and just repeated over and over it was a clock.
Sooo, uh, why? Kid obviously wasn't stupid, so he behaved in such a manner..why?
I read it from a comment from someone else on a different website. That he set the alarm on it to go off after being told not to show anyone. Or that he knew the alarm was set to go off and took no action to stop it once being told not to show anyone.
It could be false, but what we know is not false is the kid didn't say "a teacher can vouch for me this isn't a bomb" and I'd like to know why. I'd like to know why a kid smart enough to put all this together just apparently went "it's a clock" over and over. In fact if a teacher told him not to show anyone he should of put the thing in his locker, why continue to carry it around? Does this school lack lockers and force kids to carry around all their books?
I don't know if some of the crazy accusations are true or not, but something seems fishy about all this. I'm not saying the kid is some terrorist, but I don't know if he's some innocent angel that needs a trip to the white house either. Did the family of someone like Kate Steinle get White House invites?
The one thing that seems to be a lie, the kid didn't actually invent/build a clock out of bits-n-pieces, he (or someone else) took apart a digital clock and stuffed the internals into a small case.

I'm no expert on electronics so can't really personally verify the claims of the above article as being true or not. But if it is, then count me on the side of "Hoax bomb. Everyone was fooled."

So you think the kid(or his parents or whoever put it together) indeed knew what they were doing?

Can't speak on their intentions, not a psychic. Could have been that or could have been a joke gone horribly wrong. What I don't buy is "unassigned extracurricular school project to impress a teacher".
That is IF the above article is true.

That's possible.
Tho, like the article states, a few too many things about it being an "innocent project" that don't add up.
Like this for example:
"In one interview, for example, Mohamed says he closed the pencil case with a cord so it wouldn’t look suspicious in school.
“I’m curious, why would ‘looking suspicious’ have even crossed his mind before this whole event unfolded, if he was truly showing off a hobby project, something so innocuous as an alarm clock. Why did he choose a pencil box, one that looks like a miniature briefcase no less, as an enclosure for a clock?” DiPasquale wrote."
Makes me think that somewhere down the line, he really wasn't all that certain about it being all that innocent looking.
Maybe cos he's experienced bigotry due to his name/look before?
As far as the pencil box, seems like a silly question. Why not use a pencil box and when has pencil box been synonymous with "bomb"?
Doesn't excuse how the school acted though, if his sole reason was to troll the school into thinking he had a bomb, they still acted like bigoted morons. Sure he's a shit, but getting trolled by a little shit doesn't excuse someone acting bigoted.
Look at it this way: if some white kid pretends to be black and starts trolling another white kid on the internet and that second kid reacts by using black racial slurs, do we excuse that behavior because whitey #2 was trolled? No, we do not.

If he knew there was a chance for something he made (or didn't really make) to be misconstrued as something that would very well have major implications, then why bring it to school in the first place? Why act surprised? Why not clear it with a teacher BEFORE bringing it to school? I certainly wouldn't bring something weapon-looking to an airport (like a fake hand grenade toy for example). Thought the kid was "smart"?
For nothing else that it DOES look like housing for a bomb. That would certainly be my first reaction firs time I saw the device.

I edited in more while you were posting. Kid's a shit(if it was intentional), school officials are shit.
If they genuinely thought there was a bomb, they would have evacuated the school and they would have been in the right doing so, even though it was just a clock, as they showed they felt a legitimate threat.

I don't know why people are jumping on the school's throat about them believing it was a bomb.
From what I've read, wasn't the kid suspended for bringing in a "hoax bomb" not a bomb-bomb?
Doesn't that imply that the school realized that the "bomb" was a fake? Explaining why they didn't call for an evac?
Isn't bringing a hoax bomb a suspendable offense?
What exactly did the school do wrong here?

Yes, it'd be like calling in a false bomb threat, yelling fire etc.
But again, the story claims the kid stuck with "it's a clock" from the start and never did a "ha, I have a bomb!" to anyone.
The jihadi sjw turd bag kid was told to put it away four or five times because "someone might think it's a bomb.".
What's he do? He takes it out over and over and eventually plugs in and sets the alarm to go off during class.
Now, the kids sjw parents won't release the tra script of what he told the cops.
I say send him and his family to Guantanamo bay for a few weeks.
