No, they didn't follow protocol. Protocol is to evacuate the school. Shoot, they do that when someone calls in a bomb threat on the phone!

Those kinds of tricks are rightfully taken seriously. The stupidity here, as usual, is with the legions on the left who have tried to promote this hoaxer and his family as victims of racism. And the really interesting part is how they stay with it, even after it becomes clear that the victim is actually the perpetrator.

The kid didn't even build the darned thing...he disassembled a 1970's era digital clock and rearranged the innards into a pencil case to LOOK LIKE A BOMB!

Does this look like a bomb too? I take it you have never worked with electronics, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a comment.

Nope, that hasn't been proven nor even alleged by anyone but some forum weinies.

It didn't look like a bomb, it looked like a clock in a box. Nobody thought it was a bomb.

If someone took a toy gun to school, they would know it was a toy but the kid would still get in trouble.
Apparently someone in charge thought it could possibly resemble a bomb or the cops would never had been called.

I think it was a setup by the teen and father to get attention and create an issue.

Here's the 'Bomb' Clock That Got Ahmed Mohamed Arrested | WIRED

Like I said...he didn't even build the darned thing...There's more to this than is being said...and even Mark Cuban said in the posted video that the kid went six classes before anything happened and the only reason that anything happened at all is because he refused to put the thing away when asked and then became unresponsive.

@ Shutout...no it looks like an 8088 board...but stick it in a briefcase and it could easily look like a HOAX BOMB!
