I'll just post this again since I agree with the majority the points made
Spoiler

They never  evacuated the school because they thought he had a hoax bomb. He pulled a big digital clock out of its case and put it in a pencil box that looks like an attache case you see used for bombs and money in old movies.

How do you conclude that it is a fake bomb if he isn't even triyng to pretend that it's a bomb in the first place?

First of all, because it looks like a fake bomb/prop. Second, because he didn't make a clock, he just took case off an old clock and put it in a different box. Third, because he admitted that he purposefully made it to be less suspicious and not appear to be a "threat", so he was aware of what it looked like. Since he didn't really design anything and purposefully chose a box that looks like a metal briefcase from old action movies, it's reasonable to surmise he knew what he was doing.

If you did a stupid thing like that, probably not aware of the ramifications, and you were arrested and questioned, why the fuck would you start saying you intended it to be a bomb? You'd lie your goddamn ass off all day saying it was just a clock, a little science project.

Mine didn't, ether. Apart from being a MASSIVE inconvenience, it's also fucking retarded for reasons I shouldn't even have to explain. Like, if I were to be carrying a bomb or weapon in my backpack, there's no rule stopping me from utilizing it in the fucking hallway.

I went to HS in a Detroit suburb, and there was no ridiculous rule banning backpacks. People in my school barely even used lockers, we just brought bags everywhere.

This is what happens when white moms run an administration.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

My Middle School in a Detroit suburb banned backpacks being taken out of your locker in between classes.

my middle school didnt allow backpacks to be taken class to class, however the high school had no problem with it. it was actually encouraged because we didnt have enough lockers for everyone.

OT: i get that the kid wanted it to look cool, or whatever. but come on man, your name is Ahmed Mohamed you have to know that carrying a brief case with a big clock face isnt going to go well.
