This whole thread is just... Yikes.

See what happens when you ask people to look beyond the surface of what the media tells them.

It's a ticking time bomb.

Yeah, man.

Not like pretending you have a gun is a crime or anything either.
It is. Good thing the kid wasn't pretending he made a bomb.

Nothing suspicious here, officers. Just a boy bringing a hairdryer into school.
It's not. Though hey, I'll give you a benefit of a doubt here, after all where I come from hairdriers are totally common household items and not some arcane majic device that could cause unprecedented amount of carnage if brought to a school grounds. Our hair laws are very strict.

Schools should ban children because children are a threat to school

1) What kind of electronic clock ticks?

2) If he was arrested on the suspicion of wanting to make an hoax bomb, how is that not a BS charge given that he always claimed it was a clock?

3) Why is it supposed to look like a bomb? It look about as much like a bomb as any other box, bag or crap.

4) Why do you even care?

It is. Good thing the kid wasn't pretending he made a bomb.

Did the police have evidence that he wasn't? Nope.

Because if he just keeps repeating the statement that it's a clock, doesn't really answer the question of why he brought it in.

Nothing suspicious here, officers. Just a boy bringing a hairdryer into school.
It's not. Though hey, I'll give you a benefit of a doubt here, after all where I come from hairdriers are totally common household items and not some arcane majic device that could cause unprecedented amount of carnage if brought to a school grounds. Our hair laws are very strict.

Off the top of my head:
Hair dryer in the pocket looks a lot like a gun in the pocket.
Hair dryer could easily be dismantled and hold a gun inside the casing.

Once, the place where I worked got stolen from. Well, it didn't. It got robbed.

You see, there's a difference. The difference was when the guys robbing the place acted like they had guns in their pockets. Regardless of whether they did or not, it made it into a different and much more serious crime.

Rex, this whole thread is you reading this on Reddit, wanting to have been the person who posted it in the first place, then deciding to post it here so that if it ends up being true, we'd all sing your praises as the person who saw through the media and blah blah blah. You tried it once, but the story was only confirmed well after everyone stopped giving a shit. So, this is your second attempt.

Do you really think I care about the opinions of people in this thread? Christ, no.

There's a lot of people who will not reply but will read it. They're not emotionally invested so they'll admit the truth to themselves.

They're the people you convince in an argument. Not the other side.

P.S. Thanks for admitting I was right, I appreciate it. :D

1) What kind of electronic clock ticks?
Any analogue

2) If he was arrested on the suspicion of wanting to make an hoax bomb, how is that not a BS charge given that he always claimed it was a clock?
Because you can't take your suspect's word for it; they let him go when they themselves verified all was k

3) Why is it supposed to look like a bomb? It look about as much like a bomb as any other box, bag or crap.
Yeah exactly everything looks like bomb, not even being sarcastic

4) Why do you even care?
Other people care so I must be at the very least mildly interested

Yes, see this guy for the answer:
Because if he just keeps repeating the statement that it's a clock
As this guy I quoted above perfectly states, the kid said it was a clock. He didn't not pretend it was a bomb, he pretended (and correctly) it was a clock.

Aha.

Hair dryer could easily be dismantled and hold a gun inside the casing.
You either have some fucksmall guns or some fuckhuge hairdriers over there. Or both. At the same time.

Tbh you're just better off causing it to overheat and try to set curtains on fire than pretend you've got a high-capacity assault blowdryer

Oh shit that is fucking rad

You can't handle the trooth

Well, this thread already was has turned into "agree with Rex or shitpost" so I'm done here.
Enjoy the circlejerk.
