Bad analogy. It's more like having a hairdryer that someone thinks looks like a gun.

"What were you doing with this hairdryer in school?"
"It's a hairdryer."
"Yeah, but why did you bring it into school?"
"It's a hairdryer."

Nothing suspicious here, officers. Just a boy bringing a hairdryer into school.

Kids get fucking suspended for making guns with their hands but no one cares. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Boy builds something that looks like a bomb and sounds like a bomb and everyone loses their minds.

Best part is how everyone attacked me in the Tim Hunt thread and it turned out I was completely right and the whole thing was made up by a group of journalists to get a prominent scientist ostracised, harassed and fired from his job.
But that's not relevant! I'm the one who's wrong, of course. :3
Honestly that doesn't matter, what matters is we ruin as many innocent peoples lives as possible for top lels

Let me guess, you never built or made something cool and just wanted to share it with your classmates or something? Not even to show off?

Remember, as long as you're "progressive" there's no bad tactics only bad targets. :DDD

I would really like to know what pencilcaseclock make a noise like a bomb.

How about this?

Not unless you really want to be arrested.

ebin

Also remember Ahmed was arrested under suspicion of making a hoax bomb, if this was some cheap as hell shit surrounding shady conditions then it seems the po were spot on about it being a hoax. Though I'm biased because I still remember old /b/ days where kiddies went around making fake bombs and two made real ones hahahaha
I'm reminded too of the Dutch gal who made all them fake airport bombing threats, then when she got arrested by Dutch police on behalf of American police twitterati responded by flooding airports with bomb threats
Sounds like fake controversy to me to create a smokescreen

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Don't you see any dissonance in criticizing schools for being overzealous paranoiacs while also criticizing this kid for "making a fake bomb"?

No its perfectly possible for both to be idiots.

In fact in a lot of these "controversies" that is the case.

Are you satirizing yourself deliberately, or just accidentally?

Both. The kid's bag was ticking. He then pulls out something that looks like a kid's idea of a bomb.

What are you gonna think?

How many of us here would be able to recognize what is a bomb and what seems like a bomb? Standard procedure here in TF Londonistan is that if you see an unattended bag, assume bomb and let police collect it (presumably because they want the juicy loot inside)
