I am the 1%
It's always too soon, don't you know? It happened in America therefore you can never make jokes about it...
Oh, and it must be forever remembered, unlike the millions of civilians Murka's murdered overseas.

you didn't bring up the 99%?? pretty sure you did.....
I'm 99% certain you did
99% of ~50 is ~49.5. so if more than ~half a person thought it looked like a bomb then, my friend, I think you need the calculator
anyways I was only having a light hearted dig at where you pulled the 99% figure out of - which has now become clear

Somewhere where there is no light? And I don't mean a Super Massive Black Hole... (or do I!?
) 
If bombsquad etc were not called in then I suspect the staff/police at the school knew or figured out pretty quickly it wasn't a bomb but instead thought it was probably going to be used in a hoax. A pretty serious offence.
Whether that's true or not no one knows besides the kid who, if he has any sense, will plead innocence.
If it was a white kid he'd be suspended the same and the world wouldn't bat an eyelid. Dunno, maybe it's a good thing the world is quick to defend the kid named Ahmed who may or may not have been about to make a bomb hoax.

Doesn't have to plead ****. He was detained and interrogated without being allowed a parent, guardian or legal representative present.

If he's been mistreated while detained and not given his rights that's obviously a bad thing.
Arresting him in the first place if they think he's making hoax devices is another.

Lmao
Yep.
How many people here would be willing to dig into the differences. Sure as hell not me, i'd gtfo.
totally irrelevant to what I was discussing though so not sure why you quoted my post. never once said the kid wasn't treated badly or that the school over-reacted - all I've done is point out a scenario whereby the school may have acted the way they did

Are you really this dense?
Evidence of which is in this thread as I have already demonstrated. If more than 1 person out of the 50 don't think it's a bomb, then it's not 99%.
Greebo brought up a hypothetical "if 99%", I shot it down because it's rubbish, but you completely missed that.

that I did and for that I apologise. I only saw your 99% claim (which is equally absurd as is Greebo's polar opposite)
however please enlighten me how I am being dense?
Shame this is a thread about a kid in the US, in a US school, arrested by the American police, with posts using US statistics then....
You can go around fearing for your life when you see a non white person. Personally I'll just carry on with my life, and try and avoid the cars that are far more likely to kill me.
To be fair, what does them being black have to do with anything in that scenario? If there were a bunch of shady guys hanging around at a dark corner I wouldn't care if they were white, black, asian or blue. I would probably avoid them, because they looked shady, it wouldn't matter what colour their skin was.
Erm... Yeah... That would have been a good end to it, with perhaps a mention to the (almost certainly crying) kid that perhaps it wasn't the best thing to bring into a school without warning.
Once they realised it was a clock and there was no threat, or intent, they should have backed down and left.
Agreed if I saw a shady bunch of white guys on one corner and a bunch of Asians who looked like Muslim nice guys on their way back from a chess club down the other road I'd chose to walk by the nice looking Muslim Chess dudes in case the shady white guys did something shady to me possibly with scary wires
I'm with you. Vroom!

In the world we live in and how killing sprees can happen in schools in America it is no surprise. His parents should have known that and should have contacted the school first.
It should be celebrated but in the correct manner. Kids have been used to trigger explosives in war zones etc and killed kids with guns so quite right I think. Better to be safe than sorry.
World is under constant terror threats from anybody and he brings in something that could be a bomb - hello!?
