To quote the OP:

"Ahmed was arrested under suspicion of "creating a hoax explosive or incendiary device for the purpose of intimidation" which is a crime under Texan law."

Assuming Rex is right on this one, that's a BS charge. If that pencil case looked like a bomb, everything looked like a bomb, and Amhed never said it was a bomb or tried to intimidate anyone. You might as well arrest any student. It reminds me of that time I was arrested on "Being suspected of having the intention of committing a misdemeanor". How do you fight a charge like that? :p

Now, the only issue here is "Would Amhed be arrested if he was a Christian boy called Jhon?". Since it depends on a counterfactual, it's pretty much impossible to answer this question with certainty one way or another, so everyone feel free to have your own opinion.

Real nice how the kid is guilty until proven innocent in this case. Because heaven forbid they do this in a way that's mandated by law/constitution/whatever document is in charge of these things.

Also yeah, any hairdryer that fits neatly into a pocket will have trouble housing a gun.

My opinion is fact therefore it is fact

My opinion is fact therefore it is fact

But if you state your post is shitpost does it mean it really is a shitpost? How can a non-explicitly stated non-shitpost be non-shitpost then? And if facts are shit, what does non-fact make?

You have no idea what reasonable suspicion is, do you?

Real nice how the kid is guilty until proven innocent in this case. Because heaven forbid they do this in a way that's mandated by law/constitution/whatever document is in charge of these things.

Good thing they didn't press charges which is where innocent until proven guilty comes in. Arrest needs reasonable suspicion, NOTHING else.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

[SOLDIER First]

You have no idea what you are talking about.

And you do?

[Rex Invictus]

You have no idea what you are talking about.

And you do?

...Yes?

[SOLDIER First]

I mean, if you're sure.

[Sinistar]

...Yes?

[Rex Invictus]

I mean, if you're sure.

I've not been wrong yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Flying Dice]

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.

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.

"Guilty until proven innocent. Also talking to police who are mistreating and discriminating against you is a great idea!"

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.

"Here's a completely unrelated and possibly fictitious anecdote which somehow proves my point despite having nothing to do with the situation!"

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.

Gets called out on being an idiot. "lol i troll u" (This is really still a thing?)

"Nobody agrees with my loony opinions but I bet that there's a silent majority of lurkers who do! My imaginary friends believe me and that's what counts!"
--

For what it's worth, I'm okay with the teacher being cautious, but I wasn't there and as such can't know exactly what transcribed. Everything that happened after the police got there was atrocious.

But seriously though, Rex? If you want people to agree with your reposted conspiracy theories, go back to your nutjob shelter at /pol/ (or, more likely, your edgelord-so-oppressed knockoff on reddit) and natter to them about how net fuel can't melt steel memes. Do you remember what happened last time you tried to smear your particular brand of paranoid fringe radicalism over here? I mean, granted, this is just sort of laughable instead of actually offensive, barring the bits about how we should ignore our rights, so I suppose that's a step up.

Loud Whispers I hereby am arresting you on the crime of intention to commit sodomy. You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
How do you explain yourself?

And yes I think at this point the shitposting is of higher quality than the actual content.

8/10, good form and elegant execution on your punnery, sirrah. 

[Sinistar]

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.
