- I didn't saw a thread about this case here, but i can undestand the suitcase side and the teacher side of the story.
I hear ya edge. I don't think anyone came out of this looking good. I don't see any reason why the kid was led out of the school in cuffs, but the more that comes out points to this kid (or his father?) knowing that this would arouse some type of suspicion & they were hoping for some kind of reaction (imho). I actually applaud the teachers for pulling him aside, but (in hindsight) should have probably stopped there. not sure why the cops were called, but also don't know what was said in the office.
- THis is a joke that i pretty sure was said to hurt the girl fellings, people want to say things without dealing with the consequences.
agree. stuff like this happens every day. what raises my suspicion is that kids usually aren't suspended because someone else claimed something without proof or if she was uncooperative when asked about it. also shady that the parents won't release the info on the incident (or pick up the clock). you would think they would want to exploit this as they have the clock.
sister seems to be just as much an opportunist (if not more) than the other family members. IIRC, she was the one who took the photo & started #Istandwithahmed almost immediately.
And now, throwing fuel on the building fire controversy surrounding Ahmed’s possible hoax is the revelation from Ahmed’s older sister, Eyman, that she previously was suspended from the same school for three days. The reason? Apparently, over fears — claimed by a fellow student — that Eyman “wanted to blow up the school.”
“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with.”
Eyman talks with the slightest lisp, almost imperceptible, but it becomes stronger as she gets emotional.
“I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it and so when I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up, so I’m making sure he’s standing up because it’s not right. So I’m not jealous, I’m kinda like—it’s like he’s standing for me.”
Eyman said her suspension was in her first year of middle school, “my first year of attempting middle school in America. I knew English, but the culture was different, the people were different.”
"So I'm not jealous" ?? the kid is allegedly traumatized & suffering from PTSD...

The parents of Ahmed Mohamed, the Irving, Texas teen who brought a suspected “hoax bomb” to high school, claim that “Ahmed has been severely traumatized” by his high profile run-in with the law.
"SEVERELY"
"TRAUMATIZED"
In spite of the purported trauma, the 14-year-old darling of social justice media made the rounds this week — from Google to Comedy Central to Dr. Oz and the United Nations. During his stint on The Nightly Show, Comedy Central host Larry Wilmore kibitzed with clock-in-a-box boy, asking if it was “cool” to get arrested.
Mohamed admitted it was “kind of cool.” He chirped, “The only reason I felt cool about it was because I knew I was innocent and I knew that if I took it to court I would win.” The audience roared in support of the teen who then calmly stood up and reenacted being handcuffed, wearing the same NASA t-shirt he sported in a slew of initial news media appearances.
