Just stating the facts sir.

But about a different story. Exactly what was the point of bringing up the clock story. And before you try and say you didn't bring up the clock story, name one other Muslim student who was suspended and invited to white house. And honestly, even if you have one of those, what's the point of bringing it up? You aren't making a larger point that means anything. Your changing the subject so it fits better into your personal political narrative.

I don't think they are changing the subject by bringing up comparisons of similar incidents.

Did Clock Boy have an extensive history of being disruptive in class?

Yes, and I clearly said that regardless of the truthfulness of your statement, it's irrelevant to any larger discussion or the discussion being had here. Comprende?

That's dependent on how you justify bringing up the case. No justification was given, so I have to consider the change pointless. As another poster said, did the clock boy have a history of disruptive behavior? Even the stories that go against the mainstream story of him being the victim of prejudice treatment, I've yet to hear of him having a history of disruptive behavior.

Now, perhaps a larger point could be made? Liberal media wanted the clock kid to be seen as the victim and if any other event in the story would contradict this, it shouldn't be talked about while conservative media want to make this about guns when other parts of the story should be left out. But he's not doing that. He won't make that criticism because it ends up being critical of not just liberals, and some people simply aren't willing enough to do that.

So I do think bringing up the comparison in this case is nothing but a weak cop out to justify his own political bias rather than making a larger point.

The clock boy's sister actually made a bomb threat and was suspended. His father too is a political activist.

His family reminded Obama of his terrorist friend; Bill Ayers, hence the invite to the WH.

No it's not irrelevant. As I stated, if the kid was a muslim our dear leader would have invited him to the white house. The kid could sue the district and win. The whole shenanigans would have been deemed bigotry such as was with the orlando shooter.

So, you feel that clock boy should be held responsible for the fact that his sister was disruptive, but you think pop tart boy shouldn't be help responsible for the fact that he himself was disruptive?
That's pretty odd.
